The B'alijaj Chan K'awiil Anabasis was a military and diplomatic expedition led by the K'uhul Ajaw B'alijaj Chan K'awiil in the Oversea territories of the Global Circuit, mainly Tsurushima, Kahei, Pulau Keramat, Maok'ab, Barriset, and Ankat. It follows the B'alijaj Chan K'awiil previous victories in Oxidentale during the Mutulo-Reze Wars and the Sante Reze Noble Insurrection which secured the Mutul' southern border which remain unchanged to this day. The term of Anabasis is used to translate the Mutli term of Nakaj which can be understood in a variety of ways: "He conquered", "He ascended", "He was crowned"...
It took three years for the K'uhul Ajaw and his fleet to vist the entirety of the Global Circuit (from 1703 to 1706). It left a profound mark in the psyche of Ozerosi and Ochranese countries, such as in Ankat. In the Mutul, it served to reinforce the exceptionalism of B'alijaj Chan K'awiil rule which mark the height of the Global Circuit and the Golden Age of Mutul' prestige, power, and wealth. A status many in the Mutul feel they have not yet recovered as no Divine Lord since then as attempted such a global expedition across the world.
