In the first millennium BC the Arabs, Persians, and [[Arunid Empire|Arunids]] were also engaged in sea and land trade in luxury goods such as spices, gold, precious stones, leather of exotic animals, ebony and pearls. The sea trade was in the [[Aab-e-Farus]] and the [[Sea of Kandahar]]. Luxury goods including spices, ebony, silk and fine textiles were traded along the overland incense route. Spices are discussed in biblical narratives, and there is literary evidence for their use in ancient [[Ancient Istroyan civilization|Istroyan]], [[Adonerum]], and [[Great Levantia|Great Levantine]] society. The trade in spices lessened after the fall of [[Great Levantia]], but demand for ginger, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg revived the trade in later centuries. | In the first millennium BC the Arabs, Persians, and [[Arunid Empire|Arunids]] were also engaged in sea and land trade in luxury goods such as spices, gold, precious stones, leather of exotic animals, ebony and pearls.

Under the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] | Under the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] the spice trade flourished and many spices were introduced to [[Sarpedon]]. Additionally, the spices of [[Sarpedon]] were exchanged across the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Caliphate]]'s holdings in [[Audonia]] and traded with the [[Daxia]]ns for silk, porcelain, and later, gunpowder. Taxation on the spice trade and Silk Road were an essential element of the economy of the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Caliphate]], especially after its expansion faltered and the [[Crusades]] began to be more costly over time. | ||

The trade was changed by the [[Crusades]] and later the [[Occidental]] Age of Discovery, during which the spice trade, particularly in {{wp|black pepper}}, became an influential activity for [[Occidental]] traders. From the 16th to the 19th centuries, the [[Maritime Dericania]] monopolized the trade between [[Levantia]] and [[Audonia]]. The [[Prevailing Winds]] Route, travelling north up the southerneastern coast of [[Levantia]] to the Orenstine Peninsula, catching the westerlies from [[Levantia]] to [[Audonia]], then catching the trade winds back to [[Levantia]], was pioneered by the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] explorer-navigator Samuel-Emmanuel Brouage de Capelan in the late 1510s, resulting in new maritime routes for trade. | The trade was changed by the [[Crusades]] and later the [[Occidental]] Age of Discovery, during which the spice trade, particularly in {{wp|black pepper}}, became an influential activity for [[Occidental]] traders.
