Clarityism would further be promoted under Sergio's heir, Faro II, who became emperor in 1062. With the Decree of Destino, Clarityism was made the official state religion of the Fortunan Empire. This also saw the moving of the High Priest and his retainers to the Imperial Fortunan City, centralizing Clarityism next to the imperial court. Sergio also banned the practice of pagan rituals and decreed for the conversion of shrines into Claritist shrines. The switch did cause a small amount of dissent in areas that had not begun practicing Clarityism, but this dissent was immediately stomped out.

The final emperor of the Xenian Dynasty was Faro III, taking the throne in 1085. His reign nearly began with immediate conflict with the Juzalths to the east. Rayyan II, king of the Juzalth Empire, threatened invasion of the Fortunan Archipelago the same year Faro III became emperor. Being the great-great grandson of Faro I due to a political marriage under Sergio, Rayyan II believed he was the rightful heir to the Fortunan Empire. In order to keep the peace, Faro III agreed to pay an annual tribute to the Juzalths. This agreement caused an uproar in the Fortunan Empire, leading to nobles in the imperial court to persuade Faro III stop paying tribute. This was based around the belief that the Fortunans had the military capability to fend off against the Rayyan II. In 1088, Faro III announced the end of the annual tributes to the Juzalths and began preparing his fleet and armies. Upon receiving the news, Rayyan II immediately declared war on the Fortunan Empire and set off with his own fleet to invade the archipelago. Landing in Emili, the Juzalths easily pushed back the Fortunans in a set of battles, leading the the capturing of Destino in late 1089. The same year saw a decisive naval victory by the Juzalths and the destruction of the famous Golden Rose Fleet. With his fleet destroyed and much of Emili already conquered, Faro III made one final stand on the island of Rosa within the walls of the Imperial Fortunan City. Rayyan II responded by blockading the island and landing a ground force to place siege to the city. A couple of years into the siege, a handful of factions became discontent and arrested Faro III, surrendering the city and handing over the city to the Juzalths. With the Imperial Fortunan City captured, Rayyan II was made emperor of the Fortunan Empire in 1091.

Antonello's rise to power marked the establishment of the Acquarian Dynasty in the Fortunan Empire. Most of his reign consisted of conflict, having to deal with disgruntled noblemen and conquer Fortunan states that attempted to break away. Most of it was centered on the island of Ancona where the provinces in Larunda attempted to unite around Leonora, the former empress of Faro III. It wouldn't take until 1098 until Leonora and the provinces of Larunda were conquered as he had to deal with conflicts in Sorentavia.
