Morstaybishlian colonialism began as early as 1444 when a Staynish expedition led by Wince Ledkeat under the command of Queen [[Serena]] saw the [[Necraties Islands|Necraties]] and [[Frorkstolm]] become ''extended territory''. Both Frorkstolm and the Necraties were uninhabited and sought after for the development of trade outposts, which began less than two years after its discovery. Perdaé, the Necraties' capital, began life as a port town until the late 16th century, where [[Lambertus V]] designated its port to be shared for naval affairs. It was first used for this purpose when it rallied galleons in 1604 to invade Justelvard.
Morstaybishlian colonialism began as early as the 11th century with Caltharusian territories in [[Arcturia]]. Arcturia saw a surge of Staynish and Caltharusian early settlements in eastern Arcturia from 1001 to 1515; these trading outposts were generally not unified into one territory until the Morstaybishlian Empire formed after the Union of the Thrones and trading outposts were led by Viceroys.

Many species endemic to the Necratie Isles were pushed to extinction from the arrival of people and pests. [[wikipedia:Stilt-owl|Gold-tipped owls]] were a species of owl that was hunted for their feathers and rendered extinct in the wild in the latter of the 18th century. Despite persistent attempts to re-introduce the captive populations into the wild, the species was declared fully extinct in 1974.
 
The Necraties, Frorkstolm and, the [[Morstaybishlian West Pacific Territories]] and in particular the Arcturian Territories saw a spur of piracy in the mid to late 16th to mid 19th centuries. Rebels and pirates saw thethese trading outposts and islands as perfect hiding places in the war against scum and villainypiracy, as well as perfect areas to manoeuvre the pirating business to its greatest heights between 1660 and 1730.

After success in Justelvard, [[Lambertus V]] asserted himself as a more confident leader among his privy council. He set his sights westwards to [[Arcturia]], an already known landand becauselanded ofcontinent theby oldboth CaltharusianStaynes colonyand Caltharus as well as other kingdoms [[NewKormistazm]] Calthand [[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Ethalria]]. After finding out the [[Ethalria|Ethalrian Empire]] had anunited establisheda colonynearly there200 kilometer coastal colony a decade prior and with a flair to compete, he sent a ship to establishsend a newletter to the Viceroys of each trade outpost for the provisions to form a unified colony southwards of New Calth, but the ship never returned. He later found out the Ethalrian soldiers had seized the ships and executed the soldiers. Frustrated by this, he amassed a fleet of warships and sent them to fightdefeat forthe what was rightfullyEthalrian hisArmada. The fleet came back victorious, but the Ethalrian Empire sent their own fleet and reclaimed the small Gronmund Port.
 
In 1615, Lambertus V ordered a larger fleet of nearly thirty warships to invade the Ethalrian port town. A brutal bloodbath ensued, with the crippled Morst fleet victorious. After receiving a letter from King Lothair I of Ethalria, the two Empires devised a treaty to divide the land according to the Lothair Line; north of which would be controlled by Ethalria and south of which would be controlled by Morstaybishlia, despite who was already living there. The nations agreed, and Luxaria became the second colony on Arcturia.
