'''Eilada''' is an overseas possession of the [[Faneria|Republic of the Fhainn]] located in [[Vallos]]. The modern territory consists of two islands, Eile Corubia and Eile d'Horizon Ardent, and several {{wp|shoals}} and islets within their {{wp|Exclusive Economic Zone|Exclusive Economic Zones}} near the terminal end of the [[Capelranco Archipelago]]. Of the two, Corubia is the larger and the only permanently inhabited island in the territory, as d'Horizon is a low-lying {{wp|atoll}}. Eilada is predominantly centered on Port d'Corubia, the only major settlement on the main island, which hosts a large shipping port used for commercial rest and refuel as well as the Eilada Army Naval Base, which is the permanent post of the [[National Army Naval Forces (Faneria)|National Army Navy's]] Eastern Hemisphere Squadron. | '''Eilada''' is an overseas possession of the [[Faneria|Republic of the Fhainn]] located in [[Vallos]].

The colonization of Corubia allowed for the independent support of merchant convoys to and from [[Asteria]] and [[Oráistír|Orastir]] '''(check dates - if ast gone, then in planning for future retaking)''' without relying on foreign ports, increasing the control of the Throne over its colonies' economies and serving as a stop for regular antipiracy and antislavery operations. The establishment of a Fanerian colony on Corubia was reported in the press in Levantia as ending the capture of Fhainnin mariners by Varshani raiders, though in reality the closer settled populations of the Cronan colonies had made the Varshani slave trade a lesser part of the waning piracy around St. Brendan's Straight decades prior. | The colonization of Corubia allowed for the independent support of merchant convoys to and from [[Asteria]] and [[Oráistír|Orastir]] '''(check dates - if ast gone, then in planning for future retaking)''' without relying on foreign ports, increasing the control of the Throne over its colonies' economies and serving as a stop for regular antipiracy and antislavery operations.

Eilada remained a Royalist posession during the [[Fhainnin Civil War]], and while it played no role in the war itself, Corubia served as a holdout for the Rih's government after the fall of the mainland. [[Antaine I of Faneria|Antaine Lohr-Martainn]] resided on the island from 1909 to 1913, at which point his lifestyle required the sale of the territory and the remnant government moved to [[Orastir]]. Eilada was sold to [[Burgundie]] and administered by the provincial government of [[Equitorial Ostiecia]] after its purchase. The largest events of Burgoignesc rule were the [[Second Fratricide]] and [[Second Great War]], which lasted from [[1934]] to [[1943]]. While tensions with the settled Fanerian population caused concern during the war, fortifications uptaded and added in the 1910s, local jobs added by the import of {{wpl|Cassava}}, tropical hardwood, especially {{wpl|Mahogany}}, and {{wpl|sugarcane}} for industrial cultivation and harvesting kept Corubia preoccupied. Eilada served as a coaling station with a smal garrison during the war, and did not see any significant action aside from being one of several points of weapons smuggling to the [[The Cape|Capetian resistance]]. After the war, the much-reduced [[Equitorial Ostiecia]] and further development of the mainland and other islands eclipsed any need for the facilities in Eilada. As a result the 1950s and 1960s saw the islands relegated to a backwater and become a liability, rather than an asset, to the Burgoignesc crown. With rapid expansion of the wars in [[Alshar]] and [[Audonia]] that would later become [[Operation Kipling]], [[Burgundie]] welcomed an offer from [[Faneria]] to buy the island back in [[1967]], the formal handover taking place at the close of the federal fiscal year Sept 30, [[1968]]. | Eilada remained a Royalist posession during the [[Fhainnin Civil War]], and while it played no role in the war itself, Corubia served as a holdout for the Rih's government after the fall of the mainland.
