The Journey from Berheimger, Deouuae to Incambjia, Reiabeuxch likely took a little less than two Months, with Stops along the way for Commerce and Supplies. The most dangerous Portion of the Voyage was navigating the Sea of Stones surrounding Deouuae during inclement Winter Storms. Even with the best Weather, the jagged Rocks that give this Sea its Name have sunk countless Ships. After Decades of using Explosives to clear a safe Passage, the Sea of Stones remains perilous. The only Reason a Merchant would risk sailing in such Conditions would be to avoid Pirates. Pirates were generally less skilled than Merchant Mariners and usually didn't risk Winter Raids. As a result, many Traders preferred Winter Storms instead of Summer Pirates. |
The Island of Reiabeuxch is the second biggest Island in the Dividing Sea. It is about 1/18th the size of the Queendom of Deouuae and is split between East and West. The Perium of Hialde controls the East and Eos Thuna controls the West. Much to the Detriment of the Inhabitants of Reiabeuxch, the Island has been the Site of Proxy Wars between the two Empires that concluded only once the Island was divided. Centuries of War have decimated the ancient Culture of Reiabeuxch; however, a few Members of the native Inhabitants keep the old Traditions alive. |
Trader Relande originates from the Mainland and traveled the Perium to discover ancient History. By remembering forgotten Stories, the Dead can be given a second Life by being remembered. After a Lifetime traveling the Perium, she sailed to Reiabeuxch to record what remains of the native Culture before the Conflict between the Perium and Eos Thuna destroys it. Trader Relande has worked closely with Priestess Aegle to achieve this Goal.
Because Naphtali explored forgotten Deouuaen Ruins and researched the forgotten History of his Queendom, Trader Relande wants to record his Experiences and compare them to her Research. |
While each Queendom, City State, and Incorporated Region within the Perium of Hialde has its own unique culture, they generally have Castes with structured Hierarchies within each Caste. Someone might torment a fellow Caste Member who is ranked lower in the Hierarchy or torture Someone in a lower Caste. Trader Vodnikias originated from the Sufok Confederation, a region of the Perium known for its violent enforcement of Social Structure. |
The Wunmi Empire originated from what is now the Sufok Confederation. Its failed Attempt to unify the Hialdese Continent under one Queen provided a Framework for the Perium to achieve this Goal three Centuries later. |
It is speculated that few People were deceived by Naphtali's Disguise. However, Trader Relande was highly valued by the Citizens of Incambija and, to honor Naphtali for avenging her Death, they were willing to turn a blind Eye. |
