In reality, the last king (or rather queen) of the Indo-Novayan Kingdom, archon basilissa Borealis I,who descended from Chiron was forced to yield to him in order to spare her kingdom from being destroyed in exchange for him to make her serve as his own puppet for many years until he was at/above age 50.Contrary to popular belief, she was indeed alive and well, but in addition to being his puppet she had given him services in private, even while she ruled her kingdom. The implications were well understood, and universally considered most controversial by Novayan historians, scholars, and thaumo-chronologers. Though a Scythianized Indo-Novayan, she later became the ruler of the restored kingdom of Yavana by the Kalaidian Empress herself.

Eyeing an opportunity, the Kalaidian leadership sallied forth to seize control of 80% of the trade shares at the two locations as well as securing centers of power to bolster its presence. At the same time, Arkadia and Veredonia assisted in reconnecting with the old trade routes as well as creating new ones across Sarradon, linking both Novaya and Adabyss to the trade network; Kalaidis, on the other hand, would establish new trade routes with Apogonia in northern Ibis, Nea Novagia in western Streochoris, and the crusader states in southern Streochoris, as well as opening new trade routes by controlling the coasts of Sub-Sabzeran Ibis and sailing around the Point of Storms (or Cape of Storms).

*1264-1266 IS: The Great Novayan-Aegialean War
**The Aegialean Imperium launched the invasion of the kingdom of Elustaelia after Emperor Borealis III crashed the wedding to expose the lies the Aegialean nobles had made. The invasion was derailed by Novayan legions sent to hold the imperial armies back for a month or so to allow the Elustaelians to evacuate everything they have to Greater Novaya - books, utensils, equipment, icons, artifacts, animals, as well as others. Though they have to pull back, and the Aegialeans torched, sacked and salted the now-empty lands of Elustaelia, the evacuation was a success as the whole world now recognized the evilness that had still lurked underneath the Aegialeans' masks.
**With their cruelty and oppressiveness revealed, the Aegialeans launched the invasion of Streochoris and Kigai down west, south and east. Initially believing their nation to be invincible and able to conquer the two continents, it faced unprecedented backlash from the other nations,among which was Yavana, Ragha, Nea Novagia, Apogonia, T'ien Ch'i, Jomon, Heijou, as well as others; the diadokhos-states had responded to the Aegialean aggression with surprising speed; and the Aegialean crusader states in southern Streochoris refused to answer their fatherland's call starting with Nea Novagia activating its colonial reserve forces and citizen/civilian militias and fortified border forts.
**The Aegialean declaration of war had reached the Novayan descendant-states' ears and, still showing loyalty to the mother-empire despite being distant, answered the Novayan Empire's call for total war. An expeditionary force of Western Novayan legio comitatenses, Bloodlander, New Custodian and Elustaelian troops, and Sagittarian and Oeltenic cavalry, led by Emperor Borealis III and Princess Asta Leidarstjarna, rapidly joined the war, contributing to the allied war effort via a series of rapid movement and assaults that wore down the Aegialean forces. During one of such engagements, Emperor Borealis III accidentally fatally injured Arcturus VIII, the current Sky King of the Aegialean Imperium; despite the fatal injury, he acknowledged Borealis III as completely in the right about the Aegialean Imperium being rotten to the very core, and asked him to look after his branch family before passing away.
