Some entrepreneurial tradesmen had ventured up the [[Archangel River]] beginning in the 1680s, reaching {{wp|Lake Matapedia|Lake Wikipédia}}. The first formally sanctioned mission of upriver exploration beyond modern-day Krivôrok was the [[Macféden Expedition]] in 1688, which would chart the lake shores and courses of several rivers in what is now the Northeast Territory and Tioga and establish commercial contact with the [[Netansett#Global_trade_and_colonization|Netanic League]]. The commercial significance of Cusinaut to the Occident had previously been limited to its utility as a waystation ''en route'' to Alshar and back, but the discovery of a reasonably advanced economy in the subcontinent's interior aroused new mercantile interest. Occidental trading parties would begin to call upon Netanic depôts with increasing frequency, providing an impetus for the ever-closer encroachment of Occidental outposts. These developments greatly concerned the isolationist leadership of the Netanic League, though strategic considerations would push them toward a conciliatory posture with the opening of [[Lichai]] to foreign merchants. | Some entrepreneurial tradesmen had ventured up the [[Archangel River]] beginning in the 1680s, reaching {{wp|Lake Matapedia|Lake Wikipédia}}.

These developments greatly concerned the isolationist leadership of the Netanic League, though strategic considerations would push them toward a conciliatory posture with the opening of [[Lichai]] to foreign merchants. This would trigger a wholesale reörganisation of Netanic social, economic, and political institutions from around 1700 through 1720 to support an export-based economy based heavily on {{wp|cash crops}} such as {{wp|tobacco}} and {{wp|indigo}}. The Saint Michael Waterway (the Lake Wikipédia and Archangel River together) would become a critical conduit for this trade, fuelling the growth of a new corridor of Occidental settlement along the waterway and driving Kiravian efforts to shore up its control of its right bank and {{wp|river delta}} militarily. | ||
