Burgoignesc Kandahar-Kandara Trading Company: Difference between revisions

Immediately following creation of the company, the founders set about making a massive navy to "''bring Bergendiian Traid to the Faar Reechs of the Erth and samewise taak frum thos Plases the Divers Sum of Ther Merkantile Stuffs bak to the Ports of Bergendum.''" With this goal in mind, they set about harvesting the best timber in northern Levantia. Foresters from the Isle of Burgundie, Ultmar, Culfra, Kistan and Kiravia worked for three years to find the best trees. It took another year for the sawyers to mill the trees into enough lumber and an additional year for the sail lofts to complete the yardage. Construction took another six years at specially made dockyards all across northern Levantia and, in 1594, a fleet of 65 bautas primas, 47 gunboats and 133 auxiliary boats (e.g. horse boats, water boats, floating workshops, etc.) were assembled at Vilauristre. The crews consisted of 24,843 personnel and drained many urban centers of the Isle of Burgundie and Ultmar of upwards of 20% of their population.
