==History== | |||
===Slavery Bay=== | |||
During the Age of Exploration and the Age of Sail when much of the southern and eastern coast of the Aab-e-Farus was under the control of the [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire]]. It was during these eras that the Aab-e-Farus gained the dysphemism, "Slavery Bay". This was because as the [[Bergendii]] took over the western half of the Silk Road, [[Daxia]] began to withdraw from its pervasive participation in the Silk Road Trade network, especially after the [[The Southern Route]] was established in the mid-17th century as an alternative to [[Bergendii]] controlled Silk Road. Looking to maintain the lucrative trade networks the [[Bergendii]] turned to many alternatives themselves but found that chattel slavery was the most lucrative. Throughout the latter half of the 17th century and throughout the 18th century, in addition to raw material extraction, the [[Burgoignesc Colonial Empire|Bergendii colonies]] subsisted mainly on the revenues of the slave trade. | |||
