Line 21:
In 1799, Ethalria beat Morstaybishlia at the Battle of Kirdintayos and began absorbing all of its surrounding lands and cities who surrendered. The South Ethalrian city states that today make up [[Asilica]] neighbouring this now colossal empire felt that their sovereignty was threatened.
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
Meanwhile, Ethalria ignored their losses and by February 1801 began a huge coalition invasion with Baykalia for Caltharus. Their plan was to divide Caltharus 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.
