Bright Sands and Terrible Ambitions [Brigidnan Colonization of Khiva]

[Arkiania]

Since 1050, The various Grand Duchies of Krinis had developed into strong trade states, though Octitania began to lean towards isolationism. Arkiania began to openly trade with Brigidnan powers, the various riches brought from and to Arkiania and the little state intervention in trade allowed Arkiania port cities to transform into major trade hubs. This transformed the countries infrastructure and military power, making it into a major player in the region, and the Isles. Over the course of a few centuries it would use this power to expand its border in the isles and abroad. By the late 1200s, Arkiania had made expeditions and formed colonies to islands in its south and far east in Ishnallan Sea. With discovery of possible riches in the South, Arkiania would serve as a major supply point to the various nations looking to establish colonies on the Khivan sub-continent.
