In the mid 18th century Dalmaghar had been seized from the Norgsveltian Empire and Morstaybishlia sought to seize the remaining island outposts surrounding Main Island. In 1773, two Morstaybishlian ships engaged a small Norgsveltian ship, a battery and two dozen soldiers and took control of the island. Under threat from a revenge invasion, Morstaybishlia built on their seized battery on Heimsan Cape by upgrading it. The same year they built another on East Point, the easternmost rocky outcroppings and established a barracks in their new Lanisbury settlement. For helping them in the [[Great War]], Morstaybishlia gave the north-eastern part of the island which is more ethnically Norgsveltian back to Norgsveldet alongside [[Eyjaria]]. Today this island is the smallest island in the world to feature a divide and forms the only land border between Great Morstaybishlia and Norgsveldet.

The easternmost of the island has no permanent settlement and is open heathlands. On the small Ernst Cape at Fegis Cove there is a large red and white [[wikipedia:Daymark|daymark]], erected in 1789 by Ghenner Ernst. It is a rendered granite circular tower 4.8 metres (16 ft) in diameter and 6.4 metres (21 ft) high, set back to conical termination making it 11 metres (36 ft) high. It was painted white until 1838 but by 1845 had been painted red, and is now painted in bands of red and white. Despite its modernity, the daymark, alongside some prehistoric cairns, is a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
