Though Tsivikhli was the first settlement to ~~permanently~~ establish in Arcturia, the settlement's location proved too hostile to any permanent settlement efforts, with a boreal climate and shallow soil insufficient for growing crops or feeding livestock. As such ~~this first~~ settlement was quickly abandoned with the settlers opting to return to Aurora. A few years in 1299, after the failed Tsivikhli settlement, [[Orik Oluvioni]], son to mapmaker [[Davit Oluvioni]], headed the Lamaz Voyage, made up of a fleet of five [[w:Caravel|p'anviri's]]. This voyage made landfall on the southern coast of the modern-day [[Kéya|Kéyais]] island of Tempête-Éternelle. The port that was formed on this island was called Lamazip'ort'isi, literally translating to "beautiful port," and it would serve as Salovia's primary Arcturian colonial settlement for the next half century before it, along with the other major settlements at the time, fell under siege by the [[Kormistazm|Kormistazic Empire]] in the War of Tsivinap'iro. This conflict forced the roughly 3,500 surviving settlers to flee northwards, towards any settlements that would accept them. As they sailed north, coastal Kormistazic settlements found in modern-day [[Quariin]] refused them, until they eventually were allowed to land in Finica, the northernmost settlement of Kormistazm. There, the Salovian settlers were coerced into signing a treaty of surrender, known as the Treaty of Finica. The treaty laid out that the settlers would be allowed to live in Finica under the condition that the Salovian settlers pay off the debts of the war in which they had fought in the form of manual labor, namely farming and mining. This arrangement effectively made the Salovian settlers indentured servants to the town of Finica until they paid off their debts.

News of the battle between the settlers and the Kormistazic Empire eventually reached Salovia a few months after the war took place. Though it was unknown to Salovia at the time of the settlers' eventual fate, it was assumed by Salovian leadership that the settlers had been massacred when the ports were taken over. Thus, the Vach'ari guildmembers in the Boliari adamantly pushed for Salovia to use this as justification for war with Kormistazm. Queen Beatrice however refused to threaten the stability of the fledgling colonies of the southern Packilvanian Ocean, and declined to wage war against Kormistazm. In spite of the Queen's word, a fleet of Vach'ari merchant ships were secretly retrofitted for war and embarked for Arcturia towards Tempête-Éternelle, where the settlers were reported to have been massacred, the goal of the embarkment being retaliation. Before the fleet could arrive and wage war, a large storm prevented them from making landfall and the ships were forced to land further north. The Vach'ari ships were dilapidated and beyond the scope of routine repairs, and as such were forced to establish themselves in the bay in which they made landfall. By 1395, the refuge for the Vach'ari guildmembers had been converted into the port city of Svelisi, near modern-day Saniagua on the Puntalian coast.
