That became focused on territory in [[Alshar]] was a direct result of the collapse of the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] in [[1517]]. This saw many events that heralded the end of the [[Alshar]]i-[[Occidental]] overarchingly balanced relationship seen during the [[Crusades]] and shifted it toward unequal combat wherein the [[Occidental world]] had more power and began to colonize [[Alshar]] and [[Audonia]]. | That became focused on territory in [[Alshar]] was a direct result of the collapse of the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] in [[1517]].

Caphiria's involvement in the Truffle Races was driven by a combination of economic, nationalistic, and political motivations. The high value of truffles made them an attractive commodity for trade, and Caphiria saw the potential for economic gain as a way to boost their economy during its [[History_of_Caphiria#Dominate_era_(1591-1677)|Dominate era]]. At the same time, the discovery and control of new sources of truffles was seen as a way to assert their national pride and prestige, and the desire to gain control over new territories and resources. | |||
In the late 1570s, Caphiria began to invest heavily in exploration and mapping of the Odoneru Ocean, Sea of Canete, and Sea of Istroya. By mapping these areas, Caphiria would be able to establish control over trade routes and ports, and it would allow them to plan expeditions and military campaigns more effectively and would give them a better understanding of the region's potential for colonization and resource extraction. As a rival of Caphiria during this time, Burgundie would have had similar motivations to gain control over valuable resources and trade routes. Burgundie would have been aware of Caphiria's exploration efforts and would have seen it as a threat to their own economic and political interests. As such, they would have mounted their own mapping and exploration efforts around the same time. As such, both Caphiria and Burgundie would have been in a constant state of competition and rivalry. | |||
