Although the Republic would never again fall under direct Caphiric suzerainty, it would soon find itself under the suzerainty of a nascent and newly-unified Caphiric vassal kingdom in western Sarpedon, the [[Pelaxia|Kingdom of Pelaxia]]. First contact with the Pelaxians began in 1499, by that time Pelaxia had already established a colonial empire in [[Vallos]]. Because of the Republic's relative stability compared to most of the polities in Vallos and overall Latinic homogeneity, the Republic was not to be made into a colony, but rather a protectorate wherein the Republic will be allowed to maintain its internal affairs without interference while in return they allow the Pelaxians to hold the exclusive right to maintain a military presence as part of its efforts to maintain its hold in the Southern Route to Alshar.
Although the Republic would never again fall under direct [[Caphiria|Caphiric]] domination, it would soon find itself under the suzerainty of a nascent and newly-unified [[Caphiria|Caphiric]] vassal kingdom in western [[Sarpedon]], the [[History_of_Pelaxia#Great_Caphiravian_Kingdom_of_Pelaxia_(1485_to_1618)|Great Caphiravian Kingdom of Pelaxia]]. First contact with these [[Pelaxia]]n emissaries began in [[1499]], by that time [[Pelaxia]] had already established a [[Pelaxian colonization of Vallos|colonial empire]] in [[Vallos]] ([[Pelaxian_colonization_of_Vallos#Vicerotalty_of_Puerto_Negro_(1487)|Vicerotalty of Puerto Negro]] and the [[Pelaxian_colonization_of_Vallos#Enclaves_of_Bahía_de_Los_Ruma_(1497)|Enclaves of Bahía de Los Ruma]]). Because of the republic's relative stability compared to most of the polities in [[Vallos]] and overall [[Latinic]] homogeneity, the Republic was not to be made into a colony, but rather a protectorate. The republic became incredibly important to the [[Pelaxia]]ns as a frontier to maintain its hold in the [[Southern Route]] to [[Audonia]], in the mid 17th century onward.


The establishment of Pelaxian suzerainty over the Republic saw the emergence of a pelaxianised Latinic culture within the span of fifty years as Emeritan elites took on Pelaxian customs, traditions, and even a [[Emeritan Pelaxian|new vernacular of the Pelaxian language]] with many Latinic loanwords. By the year 1554, the Emeritans had effectively became a Romance ethnic group, a far cry from when they had seen themselves as a Latinic ethnic group. However, not all Latinic people were as welcoming of the Pelaxians as the Emeritans were; the Ventese and the Crassians felt that the fact that the Emeritans were so eager to essentially submit to a foreign power so quickly as well as abandoning their cultural roots to take on the Pelaxian identity was an indicator to them that the Emeritans were not as keen on becoming the next Latinic hegemony and were more interested in retaining their privileges at all costs. The Republic, not wanting a potential rebellion opted to forcibly remove the leadership of the two republics and instead appointed Emeritans to handle their governance.
