The Myre Crisis was a conflict that raged between 259 AC and 264 AC in the seas surrounding the Kingdom of Myre. The Kingdom of Myre is one of the many nations in the continent referred to as the Moors, south of the Regalian Archipelago. It was the last kingdom in the eastern part of the Moors that was still independent of the Regalian Empire and could maintain its independence with a strong navy. Emperor Vilgemar presented the kingdom an ultimatum to join the Regalian Empire early in his reign to retake Imperial prestige after the disastrous reign of Arch-Chancellor Morgan which made the Emperors look weak. Myre refused, however, and a very costly naval war ensued that saw several fleets engaged with the Myre navy. The war finally wrapped up when Arch-Chancellor Aliandre restructured the state budget and shifted from outright military conflict to shelling coastal cities and attacking civil targets to wear down the population's will for the war. The Kingdom surrendered shortly after, concluding the last real naval War where all battles were exclusively fought on the high seas.
