As Caphiria began to closely integrate the portions of Urlazio it inherited from the Latin Kingdom, pressure was placed on the non-Adonerii Latins and Urlazics from the central third of Urlazio. These peoples began to migrate east beginning in the 5th century. Several reasons have been provided by historians for this migration, but the primary rationale relates to the expansion of settler colonies from Venceia in the central part of the island, as well as a general displacement of the local populace by mainland Caphirians. This eastern migration strengthened the cultural identity of eastern Urlazio such that contemporary Caphirian travelers found the language and culture there to be altogether alien. The development of a distinct East Urlazic dialect of Latin began in the 7th and 8th centuries as the language was written for the first time.

The Gothic Kingdom was divided in the 7th century and modern Lariana became part of Leofric's Kingdom. This Kingdom began a gradual decline and Urlazio was largely incorporated into the Caphiric [[Second Imperium]] by the 10th century. During this period, what would become Lariana was heavily subject to Muslim raids by forces loyal to the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]]. Despite the emergent cultural differences, eastern Urlazio remained a relatively pacified part of the Second Imperium. Towards the end of the Second Imperium, local revolts became more commonplace as the government in Venceia attempted to make manpower and financial taxation more efficient. With the collapse of the Second Imperium in 1172 saw eastern Urlazio divided into several city-states. These gradually evolved into mercantile republics by the 13th century, similar to and in competition with the city-states of [[Crotona]] of the period.

With the collapse of the Second Imperium in 1172 saw eastern Urlazio divided into several city-states as well as a limited presence by the [[Venceian Republic]]. These gradually evolved into mercantile republics by the 13th century, similar to and in competition with the city-states of [[Crotona]] of the period. The Urlazian city-states coexisted alongside the Venceian Republic, who often provided subsidies and titles to prominent merchant families of the island's city-states in an effort to establish nominal authority, a method which enhanced the prestige and legitimacy of the new city-states.
