===Audonian Trans-Equatorial Route===

One of the major routes was trading slaves, silks, and spices from [[Audonia]] to the latifundia in [[Maritime Dericania]] and [[Equatorial Ostiecia]]. These slaves worked in all sorts of latifundia, but the most lucrative cash crops were sugarcane, tropical hardwoods, and tobacco plantations in [[Equatorial Ostiecia]]. The sugarcane in particular was then shipped to [[Wintergen]] and [[Nauta Normand]] where it was refined into sugar, molasses, and rum. These products as well as whale oil, apple brandy, apple cider, and boreal timber were then transported to [[Levantia|Levantine]] ports. Loaded with gold, silver, and manufactured wares the route brought the merchants back to [[Audonia]] to collect more slaves, silks, and spices from the western reaches of the [[Silk Road]].
