The Adonerii cities were primarily fueled by mercantile activity and [[Odoneru Ocean]] commerce, establishing extensive trade networks that stretched from [[Vallos]] to [[Ultmar]]. The Adonerii civilization at its peak was not especially involved in natural resource extraction, instead relying on native trade partners in places where it colonized to provide those materials to the trading network. [[Urceopolis (City)|Urceopolis]], as an example, entered prominence as a central trading point where [[Gaelic people|Gaelic]] tribes provided raw materials to the Adonerii in exchange for foreign goods and coins. The furthest flung colonies of the Adonerii, then, served as "extraction points", where the goods of locals could enter the ancient Occidental world without need for large sprawling empires or the need for large groups of slaves, which many Adonerii successor states would later employ. | The Adonerii cities were primarily fueled by mercantile activity and [[Odoneru Ocean]] commerce, establishing extensive trade networks that stretched from [[Vallos]] to [[Ultmar]].

== Vandarch trade network == | |||
The [[Vandarch Sea]] acted as a preferable alternative route to sailing along the western coast of Levantia due to the often deadly [[Kilikas Sea|Kilikas Storm Belt]]. The Sea connected to the Odoneru through Dericania and terminated in modern Urceopolis, while sheltered ports in [[Penthrav]] connected the Coscivian world to the Occident. Trade along the east-west Vandarch route began in earnest after the conqquest of the [[Fenni civilization|Fenni]] peoples by Gaelic invaders, and typically stopped at various points along the coast before filtering out of the Vandarch region or proliferated along rivers inland. Additionally, this trade route was the de facto sink for Gaelic trade with [[Gothica]], and a north-south route to [[Saelin]] and the northeastern coast of Levantia by way of the Torr and Deir Rivers and a short overland route branched out beginning after the [[Gallian Wars]]. | |||
