The friendly House of the Grand Master of Serria has persuaded the King to aid his offensive crusade against the lands of Yinshan with an Aquilian naval fleet to transport them and Aquilian armies to aid them. Nonetheless, the Aquilians could spare only a smaller contingent of soldiers with a large fleet of transport ships dispatched from Eleusinia. The number of soldiers increased in each crusade, leading to more extensive harm done to the economy until eventually, the disastrous losses led to the cancellation of crusades in 1441. The end of the unpopular crusades also brought down the whole House of Eudoxia with them.

The Isle of Eleusinia went through major changes during the time of crusades, and got its iconic Bastion outlook, which originated from the need for defence against the neighboring heretic realms. After the decline of crusades, the island defences also deteriorated and financing flopped. The breakout of wars on the continent changed this situation and Iconian marines are positioned on the island since then. The island come through many changes and most of the countryside was replaced by residences, villas and palaces of the wealthy of neighboring Nuntic nations or Iconians. The Island became a meeting place for the royalty and acted as neutral host for negotiations.
