The '''Southern Route''', also commonly known as the '''South [[Alshar]]-[[Sarpedon]]''' sea route is a shipping route from the [[Corumm]]ese southeastern coast, through the [[Ocean of Cathay]] and on to the [[Kindreds Sea]] and Pelaxian and Acirian ports. The first recorded complete voyage of the route was made in [[1615]] by Gabo de Pogiano, an explorer and adventurer from the [[Carto-Pelaxian Commonwealth]] who started his trip on the port of [[Albalitor]] on the [[Kindreds Sea]] and came into contact with the [[Corumm]]ese Qian dynasty in [[Port Bondor]], [[Zhijun]]. Impetus for developing alternate trade routes gained traction and support at the Qian court mainly as a way to evade the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[La | The '''Southern Route''', also commonly known as the '''South [[Alshar]]-[[Sarpedon]]''' sea route is a shipping route from the [[Corumm]]ese southeastern coast, through the [[Ocean of Cathay]] and on to the [[Kindreds Sea]] and Pelaxian and Acirian ports.

The route would become more profitable to traverse in the early 17th century after the Qian colonization of [[Stenza]] by the [[South Seas Development Company|South Seas Trading Company]]. In the modern era the route continues to be an important lane for international marine shipping and several national navies operate throughout its whole length to provide security. | ||
