==War of Foundation/Tavari Civil War==
The exact date of what the Acronians call the War of Foundation and what the Tavari call the Tavari Civil War is uncertain and variously dated between 1470 and 1485. Most historians have generally settled on minor skirmishes in the late 1470s and the emergence of major hostilities sometime between 1480 and 1485. On the one side was the emergent faction of Akronists (called Akronians, now spelled "Acronians") who gradually formed themselves into a state, and on the other were the Tavari chiefdoms united under the King. Contemporary Tavari accounts refer to the conflict as the "cultist uprising," and modern Tavari historians tend to refer to it as the Tavari Civil War. The Akronist forces moved southward and eastward over time, gradually assuming control over chiefdoms as they went.
In 1499, Acronian forces reached the island off the southern coast where the King of the Tavari held his base of power. They prepared for a siege, but the King of the Tavari - named Zaram - ordered his troops to surrender. He gave an order for those loyal him to leave the country, and then appeared before Davras, who was leader of the Acronian forces, and offered his life in exchange for the safe departure of the Tavari loyalists. Davras agreed, with the Tavari loyalists departing unharmed after Zaram's surrender and death on June 10th of 1499.
