"A Broken Body Does Not Mean a Broken Soul" - Astrogomenite Proverb
Welcome to the Grand City of Lamazanii, the main trade port of the realm of Artosgome, specifically the eastern part where no ship can get in and out without going through the city. Who rules here? Feuding business families, who constantly bicker, murder and fight each other over the amount of trade that comes through. Most famous of all of these families, are the Syanlins. "The Syanlins will always rule the Paseral" people always say, but that is not always the case...
Recently, a new family, the Camasesi, have begun to invade the Syanlins' trade, taking over their trade ports in short yet bloody skirmishes between their own retinues. As well, fights in the streets of Lamazanii have begun to increase as the Camasesi ships begin to trade more with Syanlins clients, bribing their clients until they begin trading with only the Camasesi.
Picarry Syanlins, the former head of House Syanlins before his untimely death due to Slow Fever, had now begun to take this rivalry with the Camasesi seriously, arming his levies on his properties in other provinces of Artosgome, in preparation for a trade war. However, with this serious decline in power, the Syanlins have seen other families such as the Hakisnam, the Batunamizi, the Vocanni and the Kiriaks rise up and begin to do similar as the Camases, threatening the Syanlins' trade. With this in mind, Picarry's son, Aser, has only one thing on his mind:
Remind who rules the Paseral.
While the Syanlins try and re-establish themselves as a capable trading force with their eastern clients across the Paseral Sea, Camasesi trade ships have begun to board Syanlins trade ships, in an effort to try and physically block the Syanlins from trading. A miniature embargo, it is being called by freelancer traders and neutral families. A bloody one as well, the ships being sent back to Lamazanii with the crew dead and the ship stripped of its trade and valuables.
Whatever the plans of the Syanlins and the Camasesi are, they are only escalating the violence to extreme points.
