Alcairet is a [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] [[Government_of_Burgundie#Provincial_and_Colonial_Government|province]] in confluence of the [[Barbary Straits]] and the [[Sea of Istroya]], in [[Audonia]]. It is considered part of [[La Garrote]]. Historically Alcairet was a middle power of the [[Istroyan civilization]] in antiquity. It is considered the last vestige of the [[Istroyan civilization]] until it was conquered by the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] in the 7th century AD. It remained under [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Oduniyyad]] control until the fall of that empire in [[1514]] when it was left to its own devices until the [[Truffle Races]] between the coastal states of the [[Kingdom of Dericania]] ([[Burgundie]]) and [[Caphiria]] led to its annexation by [[Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company]] in [[1577]]. It was administered as part of the [[Battganuur#Colonization|Barbary Straits Colony]] from [[1577]]-[[1836]] when the mainland was lost, then given provincial status in [[1875]] when the unified nation of [[Burgundie]] was formed.

Alcairet is an island in the western mouth of the [[Barbary Straits]]. The islands are the remains of a land bridge that used to connect the southwestern and northern continental islands of [[Alshar]]. At the end of the last ice age when sea levels rose, the lowlands flooded and formed the [[Barbary Straits]].
Alcairet is an island in the western mouth of the [[Barbary Straits]]. The islands are the remains of a land bridge that used to connect the southwestern and northern continental islands of [[Alshar]]. At the end of the last ice age when sea levels rose, the lowlands flooded and formed the [[Barbary Straits]].
Because of this phenomenon, the geography that remains to form the island chain is hilly with low lying areas being built up by silty undercurrents coming from the [[Aab-e-Farus]]. This makes the northern coasts very fertile and verdant. The northern faces of the hilly landscape is also quite fertile as the Antarctic atmosphere pulls warm air out of the Aab-e-Farus]] extending the growing season and keeping it humid year round.
Over the past few thousand years of human settlement the nutrient rich silt has been spread throughout the islands, but the heavily rains in the monsoon season rapidly errode anything that is not secured by deep roots. As such much of the islands hillsides have been terraced for cultivation and rivers and streams have been the subject of extensive terraforming and human intervention.
