The Ozeros War was a seven years long conflict that opposed the Divine Kingdom and their Tuluran allies against the Iifae Imamates and Vardana over the control of Barriset and of the flux of trades circulating through the Ozeros Sea.

Prelude

In 1661, the Yajawil of Barriset was officialy proclaimed after a five years long counter-insurgency against the self-proclaimed Second Caliphate of Barriset. This conflict saw great changes in the region, with Iifae insurgents fleeing the island for Tulura, where they established Imamates on the coast, economically dependent on piracy. This worsened the instability that plagued the region, plagued with feudal conflicts.

At first too busy trying to secure their new place, the Iifae weren't able to plan their reconquest of Barriset. Once they did manage to gain short-term peace with their neighbors, the Imams sent delegations to Vardana and other kingdoms, trying to convince them of the risk the Mutuleses posed to trade and the economy of the region. the Vardanians notably were already concerned by the Mutuleses traders hoarding Ochranese goods, changing the direction of the trade flux represented by the Maritime Jade Road and preventing them from going westward. In 1667, the Artavazd Monarchs entered a secret military alliance with the Imamates against the Mutuleses, made confident by the promises of an upcoming insurection in Barriset that would open them the gates of the island and allow them to push the Mutuleses away from the Ozeros.
