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. | 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]].
