East Tagaraš War

The East Tagaraš War was a series of conflicts between the Tagars of modern-day eastern Esharat and first the Montañan Confederation and then the Kingdom of Ventora. It began in 955 with the crossing of the Lávar River into the eastern Tagar region by an army led by Pelso de Montaña y Ganteos, Duke of and  of the confederation. The war continued sporadically until 1041 when King granted the Tagar region a measure of autonomy as a tributary to Ventora.

Background
Pelso de Montaña was ambitious. Unable to expand eastward and considering the Kanakan Steppe region too far away, he looked westward to the eastern Tagaraš region. He also saw seizing these lands as a means to control activities on the Lávar River, including travel, trade, and access from the north to the Gulf of Eshar and Abayadi Sea.

Conflict
It started and then it went on and then there's more to write.

Aftermath
The Montañan Confederation duchies of and  each annexed some of the Tagar lands on the opposite bank of the Lávar. With this territory now considered incorporated into the confederation, the land was retained when the confederation joined the Kingdom of Ventora.

Other lands in the Tagaraš region remained under Ventoran hegemony, albeit with a measure of autonomy as tributes to Ventora, following a degree in 1041 by King which is regarded as the formal end of the Tagaraš War.

When Ventora ended its tributary relationship with Haksarad in 1740 through the Release from the Charter, the Tagar tributes were also released as tributes to Ventora. The Release also extinguished any Eshar claims to the territories annexed in 955. While those areas have become politically Ventoran over the ages, Eshar remains a significant language spoken in them.
