===Norvian Conquests (100 CE to 500 CE)===
Beginning as early as the 2nd century, invaders known simply as the Norvians began arriving to the islands, the first accounts dating to 114 AD in the Telga Islands. The Norvians that arrived in Yasteria first originated from across the Pacific Ocean in Novaris. Their journey across the ocean became known as the Second Expedition with the First Expedition being their arrival to Novaris around 150 BCE. The arrival of the Norvians to the Aspirian Isles marked a period of conquest as Norvians pushed further south, eventually coming into contact with existing Codexian states. By the 3rd century, the Norvian invaders easily conquered the island of Eridani Theta and much of the Medium Isles. The rest of the century saw further conquest and the establishment of numerous of Norvian kingdoms that were in constant conflict with native Yasterian states. Around this time, multiple Norvian chiefs declared together the Third Expedition, amassing an immense fleet and traversed into the Packilvanian Ocean. The fate of the expedition remained unknown to the Norvians in the Aspirian Isles, although in recent times it was realized that the group eventually landed in Aurora around 300 CE. The beginning of the fifth century marked when the Norvian kingdoms were at their peak, solidifying their footing in Yasteria
Most notably during this time period was the formation of the Vaerlan Empire, also referred to as the Codex Pontus Empire or the Central Norvic Empire. Lasting from 452 to 504, this was a personal union between multiple Norvian kingdoms that surrounded the Codex Pontus. As a primarily seafaring kingdom, the Vaerlan Empire held immense naval supremecy in the region, using it's position to further dominate neighboring kingdoms. The kingdoms were first united under King Roverlus, who conquered large swathes of islands in the region from 452 to 486. Upon his death, his son, Alecpis, continued to keep the realm united while further acquiring territory in Sorentavia. His death in 504 would see the immediate collapse of the Vaerlan Empire due to infighting and foreign conquests, marking the end of Norvian dominance in Yasteria.

Upon coming into power, Renato’s son, Valence III, made it clear he would continue what his father had started. In 954, Valence announced that he was a follower of Guiliano Bardi’s teachings and writings from “The Book of Clarity.” This would set into place the later formation of [[Clarityism]] following the Council of Destino, solidifying the base of this new religion in 968. Around this time, Valence led a successful naval invasion of the island of Toscani through the Kingdom of Antevorta. During his campaign to conquer Toscani, Valence would fall in battle in 987, passing the throne to his son Valence IV.
