In order to finish his mother's wish to conquer the island of Eridani Theta in it's entirety, Antonello II knew he had to deal with Greldonia first. Between 1233 and 1238, the Crencello War took place where the Fortunan Empire went on the offensive against their western neighbor. After a few successful naval battles in the last few years by the Fortunan Empire, a new peace deal was agreed to along with the annexation of the Remnia and Jorali Isles into the Empire. With the west secured once more, Antonello II turned his attention back to Eridani Theta, kicking off another war with the Kingdom of Ambravia. The conflict would last about a decade, ending with the Siege of Yedo in 1146 where the last city of Ambravia was finally conquered by the Fortunan Empire. As repayment for their services against Greldonia and Ambravia, large swathes of land in the newly conquered territories was granted to the many military commanders and existing nobility. Antonello II also established the city of Equilaria in Eridani Theta which would become the center of the island, both politically and economically. In his final years, he continued to bolster the Fortunan navy and fortify the archipelago's port cities. This is assumed to have been in preparation of a new western offensive, but Antonello II would die on 9 December 1268 before any plan was fully realized.
The final years of the Rocaillic Dynasty nearly saw the lost of the many triumphs and conquests by the Fortunan Empire. With the death of Antonello II, his son, Valence V, would succeed him as emperor the same year. Valence V only reigned for less than two years which during this period saw numerous of natural disasters hit the isles. Entering into the summer season of 1269, a high record number of typhoons slammed into the islands, bringing heavy wind and rainstorms.
