General Events

After decades of raids and forays by Aescalapea's ruling family, House Gabinius, into neighboring Milosia, the Milosian King BaltosIII declared all-out war on Aescalapea, initiating what would come to be known as the Gabinian War.

A Zetian war armada launches from Zeths, sailing eastward towards Duria to stem the tide of pirates attacking Republican merchant vessels in the Betshaban Ocean. Under command of the aging Androcles of House Livius, the armada runs into several misadventures before finally arriving at Ylargebad Island the following year.

Androcles of House Livius, in command of the Zetian armada, arrives at Ylargebad Island, south of modern-day Koramia. His legion quickly defeats the unprepared barbarian pirates who called Ylargebad home and he establishes a colonial outpost on the island at the village of Lar Glarsaw, which he renames Marebellium. Androcles sends envoys to the mainland and establishes a relationship with a native tribe he calls the Tracini. He is named Comes Litoris Tracini (Count of the Tracini Shore) by a grateful Senate. This would be the first non-defensive conquest by the Zetian Republic.

Androcles of House Livius, Comes Litoris Tracini dies of natural causes in Marebellium. His body is returned to Zeth, where he receives a full state funeral. Marcus Argentis of House Zetar is named his successor as Comes Litoris Tracini but remains in Zeth.

Larstat II, a king of the northern barbarians who lived in present-day Koramia, sent a messenger to Zeth to purchase mercenaries to assist in his war against the Xaclos
