Elderhold Gulf war
After the Mirkuleon Empire formed in 1870, there was a tense debate in Elderhold society surronding the issue of free trade which many in the nobility saw as a threat to their power as the merchant class was becoming wealthier and more powerful. Merchants were faced with heavy taxes which caused various riots on part of the merchants in opposition to them and to restrictions on trade passed by the Imperial diet. The Libertarian movement which was popular in New freeland became popular among the merchants with many wishing for the Imperial goverment to have less power especially in the regards of the economy, this also gave a rise in anti aristocratic sentiment among the merchants. The union of merchantile enterprises organised a military force which would take over the ports of Elderhold and the elvenlands so that it could control trade with Donber. The army of merchants fought against the eastern Elderhold feild army for two years, evantually the eastern feild army managed to defeat the merchants, this victory ended with the execution of the rebel leaders. However Kevousalar V whom sympathised with the merchants passed new laws which gave them more rights and he lowered import tariff. Kevousalar VI served as an officer in the war during his colonelacy.

Death of Kevousalar V
Kevousalar V was often praised for being a moderniser as he reformed the franchise to include all Mirkuleon men over the age of twenty who had done military service and he abolished slavery in the Empire, although slaves were not freed their status was upgraded to that of serfdom and they were given rights under the law. He also introduced more powers to the Imperial diet and he focused upon curbing the powers of the house of cheiftains. This made him unpopular among the aristocracy but popular among the monarchies of Donber, Freeland and Silsia due to his anti slavery stance.
