The Balak colonization of Sonka, also known as the Great Election in Sonka, was an effort by Balakia (or whatever state it was) to get their king elected as King of Sonka.
Background
Trade links between eastern Vaniua and Sonka had been established as early as the 17th Century, during the X dynasty in Sonka. Following the collapse of the Great Horde the newly independent Hershemic states of modern day Balakia and Gushlia continued trading with Sonka, although civil conflict in Sonka slowed the flow of goods to Vaniua. The Zonam Khanate in particular had amassed a considerable amount of wealth in obtaining Sonkhai gold through trade.
In 1852, diplomatic ties were established between the states of Balakia and the X dynasty of Sonka.
The Beast-slayers
Seeking to gain exclusive access to Sonkhai goods, in particular its large gold reserves and soursop, and thus curb the influence of the Zonam Khanate and the Khamv Empire, which were seen as potential obstacles to an upcoming campaign for Balak unification, Jimâşim Zonkamâ, Crown Prince of Zondush, was sent to negotiate a deal with the X dynasty. Although no deal had been reached he learned of a series of myths during his visit surrounding a fearsome divine beast known as the X, [sth about slaying it]. Upon returning to Zondush he set off on a royal hunting trip, then commissioned a surgeon in Yercêsven to attach the wings of an eagle to the body of a wolf, both of which had been killed during the trip. With the completion of a fake X Jimâşim was ready to return to Sonka and gain the king's favour and negotiate another deal. Accompanied by a royal entourage Jimâşim once again appeared before King X and presented his fake X before the king and members of the Noble Assemblies(?). [insert Sonkhai reaction here].

X. Jimâşim was elected as the new King of Sonka.
