Line 23:
In 1668, Acronis establishes a colony on the Gondwanan mainland, Emerald Coast, in areas that had once been part of Ni-Rao but had since been abandoned. The territory, while on the other side of the mountains, is immediately to the south of Tavaris (as New Rania had not yet been founded.) Tavaris sees this as an escalation and launches an attack on the colony in 1670. The Fourth War is fought primarily in the colony. In 1676, Ni-Rao joins the war on the side of the Tavari. While Acronian forces fight two fronts, the Tavari burn East Harbor on Avnatra in 1677.
 
Citing a national emergency, the KingQueen of Acronis imposes a “national impressment” in which every able-bodied adult is conscripted into the military. Acronian forces cede on the southern front to Ni-Rao, Acronis focuses on defending Avnatra primarily, and secondarily its largest cities in the colony. Acronis has an advantage in ship-building capacity and is able to bolster its troops in the colony gradually. It also had a significant edge in weapons manufacturing, whereas Tavaris had since gone into debt to fund the war.
 
In 1680, the Tavari are expelled from Avnatra. Free to focus on the colony, Acronis ramps-up troops in the area to push back Ni-Rao. Ni-Rao, technologically outmatched now that they face the full force of Acronis, immediately agrees to restore the status quo ante bellum. The Acronians begin to attack Tavari holdings in the Emerald Coast and push them out as well. In 1683, Acronis launches an assault on Good Harbor. Good Harbor’s defenses fail and, faced with the now-massive Acronian war effort focused entirely on their small territory, Tavaris surrenders and agrees to pay war reparations to Acronis.
