Vicalvia: Politics and Privateering in the 1330s
Vicalvia is probably one of my favorite countries I've created for Kesair (though I don't like to pick favorites). This post will be primarily discussing Vicalvian politics - particularly regarding the period leading to the 1330s, the Golden Age of Piracy on Loom (having kicked off around 1332 A.E.M), by request of one of my dear friends and co-Loom-DMs Jodi, who is going to be running a campaign focused on Loom's Golden Age of Piracy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In 1314 A.E.M., Vicalvia had begun to firmly establish itself as a continental trade power, and was making forays into intercontinental naval trade routes. By 1316, Vicalvia had established its' own trade route with Dertien - the Vicalvian Sea Route - which used Kesair's stormwinds to give ships a headstart, cutting almost a days' worth of travel time. Vicalvia began to lead the Kesairian shipbuilding industry
