The Kamalbian War was a military conflict between Berique and the Empire of Exponent for control over the southern portion of Kamalbia and present day Caranad. Both nations had established a series of trading posts in the area, and were seeking to gain a trade monopoly in the area and oust the opposing nation's merchants.
Prelude
Early Beriquois involvement in Kamalbia
The Beriquois explorer and tradesman Marcel de Tasse-Gaubert is considered to be the first Beriquois to map the Kamalbian coast, landing near present-day MArqueville in 1464 and establishing a small trading post at the location. The post grew steadily in the following decade, leading to the Beriquois to decision to further entrench themselves in the country. This decision led to the fort which would grow into Marqueville to be officially established in 1473.
From that point, Beriquois merchants and colonists began to spread steadily south from Fort Marqueville, steadilly settling more land and bringing more native tribes under their banner.
