An eight month campaign involving ten thousand men, fifty ships, war elephants and Caphirian mercenaries was mounted that toppled the usurper emir and then chased him around the islands until he was betrayed by his own men to the Qian. With the return of Mahmud to his throne but now without an heir available, he was convinced to name the Emperor of [[Daxia]] as his heir after solemn promises to respect the customs and religious feelings of the populace was made. Two years later upon the emir's death, the emirate passed into formal possession of the Qian although they had ruling the island in practice through their envoys in Mahmud's court. With [[Truk]] as a base the Daxians had a strong base to regulate passage to the west and also began bypassing [[Caphiria]]n middlemen and dealing directly with the nations of [[Vallos]] such as the [[Loa Empire]] and the [[Almadaria|Kingdom of Septemontes]]. | An eight month campaign involving ten thousand men, fifty ships, war elephants and Caphirian mercenaries was mounted that toppled the usurper emir and then chased him around the islands until he was betrayed by his own men to the Qian.

The island of [[Sudmoll]] was mapped by surveyors of the [[South Seas Development Company|South seas trading company]] around the year 1634, marked down as a possible point of resupply for further exploration in the Okatian but otherwise was noted as unremarkable and of small importance. In 1701 a small fleet of trading ships from the [[Bourgondii Royal Trading Company]] taking a southernmost approach across the [[Polynesian Sea]] arrived near the island after losing a pursuing [[Daxia]]n fleet. After going back to [[Sarpedon]] to resupply, they returned within four months with settlers and built the Fort St. Matius and dockyard. The settling of an island by their traditional competitors at sea so close to the Daxian center of power in [[Peratra]] was considered a dire provocation. | The island of [[Sudmoll]] was mapped by surveyors of the [[South Seas Development Company|South seas trading company]] around the year 1634, marked down as a possible point of resupply for further exploration in the Okatian but otherwise was noted as unremarkable and of small importance.
