Vakhudan seized power over [[~~Baykalia~~]] in the July 1795 Coup during the Era of Uncertainty and immediately set out in the nation's establishment on the world stage as the ~~Baykalian~~ Empire, a ''de facto'' military dictatorship with a strong bureaucracy and a well trained army. He quickly formed a coalition with the Ethalrian Empire, who was ruled by Queen Matilda IV and were bitter with the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]] for seizing the Marislian region over eighty years before.

Vakhudan seized power over [[Biramura]] in the July 1795 Coup during the Era of Uncertainty and immediately set out in the nation's establishment on the world stage as the Biramuran Empire, a ''de facto'' military dictatorship with a strong bureaucracy and a well trained army. He quickly formed a coalition with the Ethalrian Empire, who was ruled by Queen Matilda IV and were bitter with the [[Morstaybishlian Empire]] for seizing the Marislian region over eighty years before.

[[Ethalria (Grand Matriarchy)|Ethalria]] had the Marislian lands and [[Kaltar]] as a whole set out to re-establish their naval supremacy on the world stage. Vakhudan wanted the Marislian lands, but with a powerful ally able to fend off Morstaybishlia, he allowed Ethalria free reign. In March of 1795, the first coalition came to fruition and the war began.

By April 1800, the South Ethalrian city states reached an agreement with Morstaybishlia. This treaty between the two nations would see Morstaybishlia recognise an independent and unified South Ethalria (later to be named Asilica) if they could use their lands to port and invade the Ethalrian occupied territories. As the Morstaybishlians were sailing past [[Valerica]], their enemy who had leagued with the Ethalrians; they were ambushed by a fleet from its capital, and the ensuing battle was known as the Battle of Baecca Strait. Morstaybishlia suffered losses, but they were strong enough to repel them back and continue with their mission. Doing so gave a massive element of surprise to Morstaybishlia, and at the same time in the Zycannes, Morstaybishlia broke through via a previously undiscovered route. Having a huge force north and south by the latter months of 1800, the Morstaybishlian and South Ethalrian forces encircled and starved out the Ethalrians.

Meanwhile, Ethalria ignored their losses and by February 1801 began a huge coalition invasion with ~~Baykalia~~ for Kaltar. Their plan was to divide Kaltar between ~~Baykalian~~ and Ethalrian territories and so they pushed towards the coast but the Morstaybishlian forces emerged victorious in all of their battles except Lamburnum and Novenum. As part of a greater plan to invade and conquer Aeternum, the Ethalrian and ~~Baykalian~~ fleets amassed and sailed under the helm of Admiral Maria Valtruda from the port of Chita on 15 November 1801 to invade Aeternum but were met by [[Redmund V|Admiral Prince Redmund]], recently assembled to meet the threat in the Morstaybishlian Sea off the coast of Cape Mortagra. Admiral Valtruda was uncertain about engaging, and the Ethalro-~~Baykalian~~ fleet failed to fully organize. In contrast, Redmund was decisive, organizing the Morstaybishlian fleet into two columns sailing straight into the enemy to pierce its wavering lines.

In a fierce battle, 44 Morstaybishlian ships of the line fought 58 Ethalrian and ~~Baykalian~~ ships of the line. Although the lead ships of the Morstaybishlian columns were heavily battered, with Redmund’s flagship MBS ''Superior'' nearly disabled, the greater experience and training of the Imperial Navy overcame the greater numbers of the Ethalrian and ~~Baykalian~~ navies. The Ethalro-~~Baykalian~~ fleet lost 42 ships; the Morstaybishlians lost only two. The Battle of Mortagra was a decisive victory for the Morstaybishlians. The victory confirmed the naval supremacy Morstaybishlia had established during the course of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, and it was achieved in part through Redmunds’ departure from the prevailing naval tactical orthodoxy of the day.

The battle saw Morstaybishlia take a more aggressive incentive as it now had naval supremacy in the Kaltari sea. It won relatively minor battles over the cities of Novin and Fhoghelm which gave them a foothold east of the Zycannes. During this time, it had naval supremacy over Tivot, which was a part of ~~Baykalia~~ and blockaded the land.

Using this new foothold, Morstaybishlia found more success in reclaiming the cities of Lamburnum and Novenum in a series of battles between 1803 and 1805, the reclamation of the heavily defended cities would serve Morstaybishlia well, acting as a secure and larger base of operations to reclaim land further south. After reclaiming Waron, both sides laid off attacks in preparation for a Morstaybishlian invasion of Kingsfort; a strategic city, which reclaiming would prevent or greatly limit Ethalria from supplying its new coastal city possessions.
