In [[102 AD]], Senator Julian Marcilius Corvus was given an order by High Priest Gnaeus Servilius Laenas to campaign against the Impaxi on the island of Ipar ([[Ile Burgundie]]) the following year and to establish a naval town on the island from which to control the channel between the island and the mainland. He was given command of Legio XIV Quintillius and enough ships to carry them. He arrived on the island in late [[103 AD]] and for the remainder of the year established his base of operations, shored up his supply lines, established a network of spies, and skirmished with locals. Between April [[104 AD]] and June of [[105 AD]] Corvus and Legio XIV Quintillius dominated the western towns and villages of Ipar and Corvus was named governor of the new province, Brugandia (place of the brugan, a type of spring heather). | In [[102 AD]], Senator Julian Marcilius Corvus was given an order by High Priest Gnaeus Servilius Laenas to campaign against the Impaxi on the island of Ipar ([[Ile Burgundie]]) the following year and to establish a naval town on the island from which to control the channel between the island and the mainland.

Not satisfied to only oversee half of an island with no permanent [[Adonerum|Adonerii Latinic]] population, Corvus needed a way to expand his fight beyond the Saint Tomas River and requested High Priest Gnaeus Servilius Laenas's chief engineer, Hyposthenese of Eagaria, to join his campaign and support the building of bridges for the legion. High Priest Laenas agreed and Hyposthenese was dispatched. Throughout the fall of [[105 AD]] and the first half of [[106]] Hyposthenses led the legion in building a massive bridge across the Saint Tomas River, spanning 483 meters with a deck span of 10 meters. In July of [[106 AD]] the legion marched across the bridge and decimated the local tribal villages. Over the next two years the Legion pacified the remainder of the tribes. During that time Hyposthenese set about building and designing two naval towns and harbors. One to control the channel between the mainland and the island ([[Port Diteaux]]) and the other oriented towards the [[Sea of Istroya]] to begin to project [[Great Levantia]]'s power over the [[Istroyan civilization]] ([[Vilauristre]]). In [[107 AD]] Hyposthenese was recalled to [[Urceopolis]] but not before leaving a network of roads, bridges, fortified towns, and ports that would lay the framework for modern [[Burgundie]]. | Not satisfied to only oversee half of an island with no permanent [[Adonerum|Adonerii Latinic]] population, Corvus needed a way to expand his fight beyond the Saint Tomas River and requested High Priest Gnaeus Servilius Laenas's chief engineer, Hyposthenese of Eagaria, to join his campaign and support the building of bridges for the legion.

By [[110 AD]] the whole of the island had been pacified and three chief towns had been established with a permanent [[Adonerum|Adonerii Latinic]] population on the island of 2,500. The towns were ''Nordarmus'' ([[Port Diteaux]]), ''Valeritis Magna'' ([[Vilauristre]]), and Colonia Bruganicum ([[Mattiusvale]]) for the veterans of Legio XIV Quintillius. During his 24 year reign as governor, Corvus, now styled Julian Marcilius Corvus '''Brugansus''' he focused on expelling the Impaxi from the province of Brugandia and getting colonists from mainland [[Levantia]] to settle on the island. By the time of his death he had built 17 towns, 300 km of road, 9 major bridges, and increased the population of [[Adonerum|Adonerii Latinics]] on the island to 17,000. He had also pushed the bounds of the province to include most of the coast of modern [[Marialanus]] and some settlements along the coasts of [[Dericania]] and [[Fiannria]]. He is considered the father of modern [[Burgundie]]. | By [[110 AD]] the whole of the island had been pacified and three chief towns had been established with a permanent [[Adonerum|Adonerii Latinic]] population on the island of 2,500.
