History
The Montañan Confederation in what is now Ventora sought to expand its territory in 955 by seizing lands in eastern Esharat during the Tagaraš War. Ventorans controlled the Tagaraš region of eastern Esharat over the next several centuries but their hold was always somewhat nebulous.

In 1041, Ventora's King granted the holdings in eastern Esharat a status as tributaries, similar to Watanese tributary status to Ventora at the time. The move quelled most of the popular uprisings though it did not end the Eshar desires for independence.

Ventora relinquished most of its Eshar holdings as a part of obtaining its own independence from Haksarad with the Release from the Charter in 1740. Ventora retained the Eshar "hook", a portion of fertile land that juts into Esharat from today's Ventoran of.

Second World War
During the Second World War, Velorenkya sent military forces into Esharat to "secure the election". This resulted in Haksarad countering with forces of its own. In response to what it perceived as as clear threat on its borders, Ventora joined the fray on the side of Haksarad and the Alliance forces. This became significant as a major portion of the Central Front.
