The existence of Svelisi reached Salovia shortly after the settlement was established, and soon Salovians seeking adventure and wealth sailed in large numbers to the Puntalian coast. As the settlement grew into a more productive operation, Svelisi began exporting crops like ~~<PROFITABLE~~ ~~CROPS~~ ~~THAT~~ ~~GROW~~ IN ~~PUNTALIA>~~ in an effort to amass wealth. The demand for these three crops increased rapidly overseas in Aurora, resulting in a need for a larger workforce. At first, Salovian settlers had been employed to make up for this, but Orev Posol, a young entrepreneur looking to expand business for the monarchy, introduced a number of schemes and enterprises to coerce, and oftentimes force, workers into moving to Puntalia. This increased his operation's wealth significantly, but the workforce was still too small to make up for the demand in Aurora. As a result, armed settlers of Svelisi took it upon themselves and conducted a series of raids on the Impelanzan populations native to the region to capture and enslave them into forced labor, at the chagrin of the Kingdom of Puntalia, the primary victim of these raids. A successor kingdom to the Impelanzan Empire, the Kingdom of Puntalia considered itself a "Guardian of Her Legacy," a [[Tunseism|Tunseist]] title meant to express the nation's prestige. These raids were seen as a blow to that reputation, and as such the Puntalian King sent an ultimatum to the Salovian monarchy, demanding a cease to the intrusive acts done by the settlers. The king at the time, Lerin XIX, refused to acquiesce to this demand, and as such amassed a bulk of the royal fleet to protect the colonial settlements. The fleet of Salovians were met with the militaries of Puntalia and Arsal (who came to the aid of the militarily weaker Puntalia) in 1402, which began a series of battles and sieges that have come to be known as the [[Salovian-Puntalian War]]. As the conflict wore on, it had morphed from a war of Salovia to conquer Puntalia into a war between Arsal and Salovia, as the land of Puntalia had soon become a warzone between the two larger powers. As a result of the war, the Puntalian kingdom fell into disarray and anarchy, becoming a shell of its former self. The militaries of Salovia and Arsal subsequently formed the basis of the kingdom's successor states. The war had cost both the Salovian and Arsalic militaries significantly, but Salovian King Lerin XIX refused to try for or accept peace with the Arsalic Commonwealth. However, this was quickly reversed in 1408 when Lerin XIX was usurped by Æris I, the first elven king since the Elven Age. In an attempt to consolidate power and return resources back to Salovia to protect his claim to the throne, Æris I offered Antares XI, the leader of the Arsalic Commonwealth at the time, a proposal to partition the remnants of the Puntalian kingdom into two new possessions held by Salovia to the east and Arsal to the west. Known as the [[Treaty of Nevez]], it established a border between the two powers and also declared neither power would interfere in each other's affairs moving forward.

With much of Puntalia's territory, people, and resources secured through the Treaty of Nevez, Æris I, along with his Boliari, focused attention towards smaller possessions, ordering the Salovian navy to capture and conquer a series of islands between Puntalia and Tivot in an effort to secure a direct route into the core of Salovia. This route became the western backbone of Salovia's overseas infrastructure, connecting the nation to Borea and Yasteria through Puerto Florosa and [[Tortuga#Plantation Era|Tortuga]], two island colonies that would soon become the center of the Salovian slave network.
