Line 14:
Adventuring with the potential of finding undiscovered riches developed to become a lifelong goal for many opportunistic Norvians. Starting around 250 BCE, Norvian bands would traverse further north, pushing themselves to the limit in the search of new lands and people. ___ of ___ would gain notoriety for navigating through the Medium Sea, discovering the island of Eridani Theta, and reaching as far as the coasts of Kelssek. Other crews reached as far as the ice caps of the north with those who returned describing extremely cold temperatures, more ice than the eyes could see, and natives unknown to them. These expeditions would eventually bring Norvian bands across the Pacific Ocean to the west coast of the Pacific Ocean, opening up a new world to the Norvians.

Realizing the potential of new lands far from the civilizations of Yasteria, a number of Norvian chiefs created a confederation to invade and settle Novaris. According to surviving records, over twelve families joined this confederation, the most prominent being the ___, ___, and ____. ___ of ____ was chosen to head the expedition as he had already made the journey once. Dozens of ships made the journey across the Pacific Ocean, carrying the twelve families, the possessions, and their armies, departing the Aspirian Isles in 151 BCE. Little is known about the expedition itself, although it is assumed to have been difficult for the Norvians since upon arrival to Novaris, nine of the twelve platform ships is described to have survived. Even upon arriving to Novaris, the expedition would not land until finally settling near Monticelli, naming their claimed land as Dallacqua.

The Dallacquan Norvians would see further success in their conquers. Their incursions inland finally brought them to the gates of Centellazione which would end up being the last stronghold in the region that had the potential to endanger their coastal holdings. For the next few decades, the Norvians and the people of Centellazione would clash with each other. The Norvians ended up being both shocked and impressed with the amount of resistance the people of Centellazione gave them. Once the Norvians were successful in conquering the city, the raiders out of respect gave the city a higher level of autonomy due to their bravery on the battlefield. With the last native stronghold in the region secured, the Norvians were left unimpeded in their conquest of the surrounding lands.
A few years before the beginning of the Common Era, a handful of the Norvian families began their journey back to the Aspirian Isles. However, unlike the last journeys in the past century, the Norvian chiefs and their families did not return to Novaris, leaving Dallacqua to the remaining Norvians who would continue their conquests. It is unknown why the Norvians never returned or even attempted to cross the Pacific Ocean. An accepted theory is related to the meteor strike off the coast of Tavaris that marks the beginning of the Common Era Calendar. It is believed the effects of the meteor strike deterred Norvians on both sides of the ocean to attempting the journey.
