As the nation was entering the second stage of the First Beaver War, the Tierradorian population steadily grew increasingly more apathetic towards the Derša-led republic. The delaying of the inevitable war with Alóqal led many Tierradorians to question the credibility of his leadership, and despite the many threats made against dissidents by the Imperial Army, the Tierradorian people began demonstrations within the streets of many Tierradorian cities, most notably Taisgol. Eventually, on September 16, 1805, Derša made the decision to sacrifice the extra resources of traveling around Porvaos in order to reach the Alóqal Region, and launched a full-scale invasion of the independent nation. The invasion did not last long, as the significantly more technologically-advanced Imperial Army quickly crushed the Alóqali defenses. On October 2, 1805, Alóqal and Opharez were admitted into the Tierradorian Republic as the ninth and tenth regions of the nation. Following the invasion of both regions, it allowed for Robert Derša to cement his status as the dictator of the Tierradorian Republic. However, his reign would not last as he would die in 1811 from an unknown illness. His successor, Mathew Qonerma, would become the next autocratic leader of Tierrador. Though his reign lasted longer than his predecessor, Qonerma's time in office was also short-lived. Growing disparity within the newly-founded regions of the Tierradorian Republic, as most of the funding from the federal government was based off of what the regions could contribute, whereas most regions were not able to produce many resources deemed valuable by Qonerma's government. Not only this, but the growing disagreements with the Kingdom of Bogocía along with the Republic of Auqali, two regions that were regarded as crucial to the survival of the Qonerma-led Tierrador, only sped up the eventual fall of the Republic. On May 9, 1823, the [[Qabóri Guard]], the ''de facto'' military force of the former Qabóri Woqalate, stormed the Palace of Prosperity in Taisgol. This began the Revolution of 1823, which lasted until August of the same year, and resulted in the death of Mathew Qonerma, the fall of the Tierradorian Republic, and the end of the first Beaver War.  
As the nation was entering the second stage of the First Takosenic War, the Tierradorian population steadily grew increasingly more apathetic towards Takosenia’s republic. The delaying of the inevitable war with Alóqal led many Tierradorians to question the credibility of his leadership, and despite the many threats made against dissidents by the Imperial Army, the Tierradorian people began demonstrations within the streets of many Tierradorian cities, most notably Taisgol. Eventually, on September 16, 1805, Takosenia made the decision to sacrifice the extra resources of traveling around Porvaos in order to reach the Alóqal Region, and launched a full-scale invasion of the independent nation. The invasion did not last long, as the significantly more technologically-advanced Imperial Army quickly crushed the Alóqali defenses. On October 2, 1805, Alóqal and Opharez were admitted into the Tierradorian Republic as the ninth and tenth regions of the nation. Following the invasion of both regions, it allowed for Tesío Takosenia to cement his status as the dictator of the Tierradorian Republic. However, his reign would not last as he would die in 1811 from an unknown illness. His successor, Aphío Kostiri, would become the next autocratic leader of Tierrador. Though his reign lasted longer than his predecessor, Kostiri’s time in office was also short-lived. Growing disparity within the newly-founded regions of the Tierradorian Republic, as most of the funding from the federal government was based off of what the regions could contribute, whereas most regions were not able to produce many resources deemed valuable by Kostiri’s government. Not only this, but the growing disagreements with the Kingdom of Bogocía along with the Republic of Auqali, two regions that were regarded as crucial to the survival of the Kostiri-led Tierrador, only sped up the eventual fall of the Republic. On May 9, 1823, the [[Qabóri Guard]], the ''de facto'' military force of the former Qabóri Woqalate, stormed the Palace of Prosperity in Taisgol. This began the Revolution of 1823, which lasted until August of the same year, and resulted in the death of Aphío Kostiri, the fall of the Tierradorian Republic, and the end of the first Beaver War.  


Following the Revolution of 1823, the Qabóri Guard declared the return of Imperial Qabór. Qavlan I, a senior member of the Qabóri Guard and the matriarch of the Havqanoq Dynasty, implemented herself as the Woqala of the newly-reformed Woqalate. Qavlan I began her reign by invading, conquering, and admitting the Kingdom of Bogocía back into the Qabóri Woqalate. She would then also implement various policies of devolution, which included the return of the historical '''Qoyalets''' (provinces) of the Qabóri Woqalate, though as a second-tier subdivision, below the regions. Following the death of Qavlan I in 1831, many revisions to the Woqalate Charter took place, which saw the introduction of many modern bureaucratic institutions, including Imperial and Tribunal Courts, the Qangreč, and the Tribunal Executive Offices. This was referred to as the [[Second Qabóri Reformation]] and shaped the Woqalate into what it is now. The Havqanoq also opened up the Woqalate to international relations and trade, along with the conquering of many island colonies. The biggest impact of this era would be the heightened positive relationship with fellow Cronan power [[Alstin]]. Much of modern-day Tierradorian culture and way of life has a large amount of Alstinian influence, especially within the eestern regions, due to their close proximity to the nation. Diplomatic relations began in 1849 when newly-coronated Woqala Saqula II visited [[Alstin (City)|Alstin City]], and met with the Alstinian Parliament to propose a free trade deal. Qabór also began relations with [[Arcerion]] and [[Kiravia]]. While the Havqanoq Dynasty were well-respected by the international community, the people of the Qabóri Woqalate did not respond positively to the various policies from the Havqanoq. In 1867, members of the Qabóri Guard mutinied against Woqala Qavlan II, exiling her to the independent dominion of Lakawachee, where she lived out the rest of her life. The Second Beaver War was fought between sympathizers of the Havqanoq Dynasty and the newly-founded Woqelee Dynasty, who claimed to fight for the people of the Woqalate. The war was one of the bloodiest conflicts in Tierradorian history, and it lasted from 1867 to 1874, and resulted in the House of Havqanoq being overthrown, and the implementation of the Tierradorian Woqalate, with its capital based in Taisgol rather than Qabór.
