The [[Treaty of Loughlin]] outlined peace conditions which had initially divided most of Gathlann and the whole of Sorhaithe between Caergwynn and Fiannria; however, the final treaty subsituted the western province of Sioc Siar and the remainder of Gathlann, as well as a large part of the Saelish Archipelago, in exchange for Faneria retaining the remainder of Sorhaithe. Sorhaithe at this time required significant reconstruction and economic support, with severance from the remainder of metropolitan Faneria further hindering development of a solely internal economy. Sorhaithe as a result was one of the first parts of Faneria to have its international markets and infrastructure reconnected to the neighboring countries, enmeshing Sorhaithe in the emerging international order. | The [[Treaty of Loughlin]] outlined peace conditions which had initially divided most of Gathlann and the whole of Sorhaithe between Caergwynn and Fiannria; however, the final treaty subsituted the western province of Sioc Siar and the remainder of Gathlann, as well as a large part of the Saelish Archipelago, in exchange for Faneria retaining the remainder of Sorhaithe.

The area underwent significant stagnation in both population and economic terms during the 1940s-1970s, being one of the most deeply affected by national austerity and the rampant corruption of the pre-[[Gwyn Feawyr|Feawyr]] governments. Since the turn of the century, the region has seen considerable growth, including the introduction of significant investments into developing the province into a travel hub. | ||

Saelish people exist on a broader scale than Sorhaithe alone, with many Saelish families being spread across countries. In areas previously or still ruled by Faneria, this translates into a culture of bi- or trilingualism, with a strong sense of cohesion around the arts and uniquely Saelish cultural practices and holidays. Saelish people celebrate several 'national' holidays including the day on which the Saelish Crusade was declared, as well as customary seasonal holidays on the equinoxes (though not the solstices, as in other gaelic cultures). To the modern day, Saelish (and particularly Sorhaithe-born) people form an outsized portion of the notable painters and writers of northern Levantia in particular, with many of these moving to the larger hubs of civilization to further their careers; Saelish art is generally characterized as imparting wistfulness and sorrow, though in reality Saelish painting encompasses several genres including | Saelish people exist on a broader scale than Sorhaithe alone, with many Saelish families being spread across countries.

To the modern day, Saelish (and particularly Sorhaithe-born) people form an outsized portion of the notable painters and writers of northern Levantia in particular, with many of these moving to the larger hubs of civilization to further their careers; Saelish art is generally characterized as imparting wistfulness and sorrow, though in reality Saelish painting encompasses several genres including {{wp|Symbolism (arts)|Symbolism}}, {{wp|Luminism (American art style)|Luminism}}, and {{wp|Impressionism}}, while Saelish writing has no predominant genre. Saelish culture, especially in Sorhaithe, includes architectural and social influences from medieval [[Vithinja]], as well as a strong cultural connection to salted fish dishes and a small boat culture vagely reminescent of [[Burgundie|Burgundie's]]. Sorhaithe has the largest rate of rowboat ownership in Faneria, and the local competitive rowing scene is only outdone in popularity by [[World Association Football Federation|football]] rivalries. | ||
Important people from Sorhaithe include 18th-century liberal political theorist [[Llewen Gower]], whose writings directly inspired the adoption of Saelish law into the [[Constitution of 1830 (Faneria)|1830 Constitution]], and [[Irwin Brecken]], a foundational figure in the Luminist and Impressionist art movements. | |||
