The Nurab Holy Wars in Nepantia are a serie of campaigns started by Pavirata against the Teenek kingdoms and Nawal kingdoms at first, and then against the coalition led by Azcapotzalco. These campaigns had been thought by the Nurabs as "aggressive Proselytism and its participants as both holy warriors and missionaries. A more material goal was to gain an hold on lands and an access of rare ressources such as chcoolate, rubber and precious gems now that Pavirata was cut from the Thae Kaew Empire's trade network.

During the War, the Nurab would establish a few short-lived settlements and try to convert the local populations. But their violence and tendency for raids and plunders made these attempts fruitless. By the 1550, native rulers had called Azcapotzalco for help and, now that it had recovered from the Teltetzaltin Plague, it was free to do so and sent armies to fight against the Nurab invaders. As such, while the Holy Wars failed to expand the Nurabinic world, it did allow for the weakened Tepanecs to reaffirm their dominant position and kickstart the Second Wave of Expansion of the Tlatholoyan, bringing the western Nahuatl and the Teenek into its orbit.
