=== During the Great War ===
After a long period of uneasy rule from the struggling Ogedeikhota, the island would once again face incursion by the Vistari Imperial Navy following the 1906 Suvan declaration of war against Vistaraland. The three year conflict between the two empires was originally set out to create another front in Western Yasteria and pre-empt the accession of Vistaraland to the Imperial Powers through the 1709. However, instead it served as the last nail in the coffin for the Suvan Empire and its position as the land power of Krommentrum, with the emergence of trench warfare in Eastern Suvania proving that the Suvan Empire could no longer repeat its land victory in the 12 Years' War. The few Suvan colonies, including Blokkarim Island, would be taken and occupied by Vistari naval forces, and the war quickly became untenable for the Suvan state. In 1909, Suvania would reluctantly call for a ceasefire, and eventually agreed to the cession of the overseas territories of Kamport and Blokkarim to Vistaraland, seeing both placed under temporary military administrations until the end of the conflict. Blokkarim, as the northernmost territory under direct Vistari control, was agreed to fall under the oversight of the Dominion of Vorpest in [[Borea]], in line with its operations in the leased concession in Ankbhaja.
This period of uncontested rule of the island by the Dominion of Vorpest would be short lived, however, as 1909 saw the brewing of internal conflicts within the Ducal Federation surrounding the election of a successor to Emperor Alfred II. Though the colonial territories had no say on who would take the mantle of Emperor, debates over succession would coincide with disagreements amongst the states comprising Vistaraland over the nation's continued involvement in the Great War. The [[War of Imperial Succession]], as it came to be known, threw the colonial administrations into disarray over who held the legitimate claim to the [[See of Supremacy]] and, therefore, what allegiance they had in the overarching conflict.
Blokkarim, which had only recently joined the Empire and resided in waters which would be difficult to maintain supremacy over for the Imperial Powers, would side with the majority of the other colonial administrations in expressing support for the claim of Tyrene van Molebaai.
The [[Norgsveldet|Norgsveltian]] occupation of Vorpest would further exacerbate complications in governing the island, and the Vistari military garrison would eventually begin to coordinate the territory's administration with the Government of Ankbhaja , establishing a civilian administration in Kartesolt to conduct the internal affairs of the island for the duration of the civil conflict in Vistaraland.
