From 1498 until 1976, there was an '''independent Gemean state''' ruled by people of [[Cartadanians|Cartadanian]] ancestry located in northeastern [[Vallos]]. Initially a {{wp|plutocracy|plutocratic}} [[Vallos#Piratocracies|piratocracy]], Portas Gemeas under the leadership of Captain [[Pedro Aviz]] was reformed into a {{wp|merchant republic}} as part of a long process of [[Legitimisation of the Gemean State|legitimisation]] ranging from escort contracts with major [[Occidental]] powers to taking part in legitimate trading enterprises. The final major governmental reform happened in 1820 under the leadership of Captain [[Miguel I of Portas Gemeas|Miguel de Sousa]] when the [[Act of Gemean Regality]] was passed, turning the merchant republic into an {{wp|elective monarchy}}, the form of government that remains in place to this day in [[Portas Gemeas]]. | From 1498 until 1976, there was an '''independent Gemean state''' ruled by people of [[Cartadanians|Cartadanian]] ancestry located in northeastern [[Vallos]].

Since around [[1450]], the rise of [[Occidental]] oceanic trade presented a number of opportunities for the petty kings of [[Vallos]] of both [[Latinic people|Latinic]] and [[Taineans|Tainean]] ancestry, most especially after [[Aster's expedition]]. The rise in trade between [[Crona]] and [[Sarpedon]] was seen as a potential boon for local authorities who were low on funds after centuries of warring with their neighbours. It comes to as no surprise that the petty kings would begin to sponsor the {{wp|privateering}} of trade ships in [[St. Brendan's Strait]]. This brought on a profound impact on local politics, often with the very privateers becoming rogue by using their wealth and overthrowing local rulers. | |||
One such privateer was a [[Cartadanians|Cartadanian]] man named Captain [[Antonio Moseisley]]. At a young age, he was an average sailor who worked long hours for very meagre pay all the while having to take abuse from his captain. At the age of 21, he, alongside his friends [[Henrique Aviz]] and [[Alberto de Sousa]], staged a mutiny against the ship's captain and succeeded in commandeering the vessel. Tired of having to slave away for abysmal pay, the three set off for the pirate's life, soon getting a sponsor from one of the local Tainean rulers of northern Vallos. As privateers, these three made a lucrative living plundering trade ships and enriching their sponsor. Inevitably, they made a fortune far more vast than their sponsor could ever imagine, and that was when a deal was struck between the three. They would go rogue and become their own bosses, overthrow their sponsor, and establish a pirates' port close to the nearest coastal settlement. | |||
