With the fall of [[Kodekesia]] in 478 BCE, the Marenian people thrived in the region, allowing for them to further develop their maritime culture. Economic cooperation and trade was preferred by most Marenian groups, mainly the groups to the south, although raiding was not entirely uncommon. The practice of raiding would pick up among the northern Marenian groups, especially those settled within the Aspirian Isles. The first recorded Aspirian raids dates back to around 300 BCE with raiding parties hitting settlements along the Crencello Arc and the island of Sorentavia. During their raids of the Crencello Arc, the Norvians would begin assimilating the remaining nekomimi population into their fold, absorbing their culture and technologies. Most significantly was the adoption of nekomimi shipbuilding and navigation techniques, allowing for the Norvians to build more efficient ships and travel further than before.
With the Crencello Arc for the most part under control of Norvian families, the Norvians continued south and began raiding along the coastline of Kaoghon and the Pontuarya Peninsula where they also began setting up small settlements of their own. This would mark Norvian dominance starting in 250 BCE over the Codex Pontus and would see other Marenian groups adopting the cultures and traditions of the Norvian raiders. The Kaoghonese Norvians would stand out from the existing factions with their ability to easily traverse into Southeast Yasteria and becoming the first Norvian invaders to raid the Codex coast.
Adventuring with the potential of finding undiscovered riches developed to become a lifelong goal for many opportunistic Norvians. 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 being one of the first Norvian adventurers to navigate through the Medium Sea, discover the island of Eridani Theta, and reach 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.

No longer focused on Novaris, the Norvian chiefdoms around the Codex Pontus returned most of their attention to Southeast Yasteria and the mainland's eastern coast. The island of Codex and the Pontuarya Peninsula would be their main targets for conquest and raids. In 38 CE, the state of Lyon and the Kaoghonese Norvians agreed to end all hostilities in exchange for the allowance for Norvian bands to easily access the Packilvanian Ocean. Similar agreements were made with Codex, opening up an entire ocean to the Norvians.
