The Vilauristre Conference was a prominent maritime confederation within the Holy Levantine Empire from 1175 until 1595. In its heyday, the Conference played a significant role in shaping the region's political, economic, and cultural landscape, especially as a major conduit of the Crusades. The Conference united a network of coastal cities, fostering trade, promoting mutual defense, and exerting considerable influence over the Seas ofIstroya, the Canete, Urlazio, and the Founders Sea. It is often considered the formal end of the Ancient Istroyan domination of the Sea of Istroya trade network and the start of the Latino-Oduniyyad domination of the Istroya. At its zenith, the Vilauristre Conference controlled many vital trade routes between the Holy Levantine Empire and the Third Caphiric Imperium, maintained a formidable fleet, and established diplomatic relations on behalf of the Holy Levantine Empire in Audonia, Levantia, and Sarpedon. Its member cities prospered through transoceanic trade and the protection afforded by the Conference's naval might. Over time, the Conference's influence extended beyond Maritime Dericania as it participated in the Crusades, limited colonization, and engaged in maritime exploration. However, the 16th century brought a period of religious turmoil to the Holy Levantine Empire, culminating in the Great Confessional War. The Vilauristre Conference, by this point predominantly Protestant, found itself aligned with the Protestant League against the Catholic Holy League. This conflict ultimately led to the downfall of the Conference, as it was crushed by the superior forces of the Holy League, its last bastions collapsing to the Dragonnades in 1595.
