A joint naval invasion by Alstinian and Daxian forces pushed Varshan's forces from the islands and brought an end to its rule there. A period of popular resistance driven by Arzalist priests followed. The Daxian military enacted brutal mass reprisals and deportations that however succeded in quieting down the situation. Civilian varshani administrators were summarily dismissed, Arzalist shrines shuttered and all public gatherings of over three people prohibited. Whatever produce was imported from the mainland was requisitioned by the army to supplement its rations, the locals were introduced to a new diet consisting of disgusting [[Daxian Aspic|aspic]] food rations courtesy of [[Agario]]. Four months after introduction, there was a riot at a food distribution center in which twenty tons of aspic rations were set on fire. Daxian rule of the unruly islanders was becoming more expensive and less advantageous than previously thought. | A joint naval invasion by Alstinian and Daxian forces pushed Varshan's forces from the islands and brought an end to its rule there.

The ethno-racial makeup of Iles Evangeline has changed considerable over the years. Originally lightly settled by peoples from [[Oyashima]] since around the year 200 CE, the islands never held more than a few thousands at their population peak.

This demographic dominance by peoples of [[Varshan]] origin continues to the modern day, altough the brief [[Daxian]] rule and now the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] administration has resulted in the return of some [[Oyashima]]ns along with new [[ | The ethno-racial makeup of Iles Evangeline has changed considerable over the years.
