Archeological records indicate that people from the [[Timeline_of_major_world_events#Neolithic_era|Neolithic era]] traded in {{wp|spices}}, {{wp|obsidian}}, {{wp|sea shells}}, {{wp|gemstones}} and other high-value materials as early as the 10th millennium BC. This spice trade was associated with overland routes early on, but maritime routes proved to be the factor which helped the trade grow, especially in what is today the [[Middle seas region]]. The first true maritime spice trade network in the [[Audonia]] was by the Austronesian peoples of the islands in the [[Ocean of Cathay]]. They established trade routes with modern [[Daxia]] and [[Yanuban]] as early as 1500 BC, ushering an exchange of material culture (like {{wp|catamarans}}, {{wp|outrigger boats}}, {{wp|lashed-lug boats|lashed-lug}} and {{wp|sewn-plank boats}}, and {{wp|paan}}) and {{wp|cultigens}} (like {{wp|coconuts}}, {{wp|sandalwood}}, {{wp|bananas}}, and {{wp|sugarcane}}), as well as connecting the material cultures of [[Daxia]] and peoples of [[Daria]]. [[Oyashima]]nes in particular were trading in spices (mainly {{wp|cinnamon}} and {{wp|cassia}}) with coastal settlments [[Al'qarra]] using catamaran and outrigger boats and sailing with the help of the westerlies in the [[Sea of Capelan]]. This trade network expanded to reach as far as the [[Aab-e-Farus]] and the [[Ancient Istroyan civilization]]. It continued into historic times, later becoming the Maritime Silk Road. | |||
In the first millennium BC the Arabs, Persians, and [[Arunid Empire|Arunids]] were also engaged in sea and land trade in luxury goods such as spices, gold, precious stones, leather of exotic animals, ebony and pearls. The sea trade was in the [[Aab-e-Farus]] and the [[Sea of Kandahar]]. Luxury goods including spices, ebony, silk and fine textiles were traded along the overland incense route. Spices are discussed in biblical narratives, and there is literary evidence for their use in ancient [[Ancient Istroyan civilization|Istroyan]], [[Adonerum]], and [[Great Levantia|Great Levantine]] society. The trade in spices lessened after the fall of [[Great Levantia]], but demand for ginger, black pepper, cloves, cinnamon and nutmeg revived the trade in later centuries. | |||
===Oduniyyad Caliphate's role in the spice trade=== | |||
{{Further|Oduniyyad Caliphate}} | |||
Under the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate]] the spice trade the spice trade flourished and many spices were introduced to [[Sarpedon]]. Additionally, the spices of [[Sarpedon]] were exchanged across the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Caliphate]]'s holdings in [[Audonia]] and traded with the [[Daxia]]ns for silk, porcelain, and later, gunpowder. Taxation on the spice trade and Silk Road were an essential element of the economy of the [[Oduniyyad Caliphate|Caliphate]], especially after its expansion faltered and the [[Crusades]] began to be more costly over time. | |||
===Occidental involvement in the spice trade=== | |||
The trade was changed by the [[Crusades]] and later the [[Occidental]] Age of Discovery, during which the spice trade, particularly in {{wp|black pepper}}, became an influential activity for [[Occidental]] traders. From the 16th to the 19th centuries, the [[Maritime Dericania]] monopolized the trade between [[Levantia]] and [[Audonia]]. The [[Prevailing Winds]] Route, travelling north up the southerneastern coast of [[Levantia]] to the Orenstine Peninsula, catching the westerlies from [[Levantia]] to [[Audonia]], then catching the trade winds back to [[Levantia]], was pioneered by the [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] explorer-navigator Samuel-Emmanuel Brouage de Capelan in the late 1510s, resulting in new maritime routes for trade. | The trade was changed by the [[Crusades]] and later the [[Occidental]] Age of Discovery, during which the spice trade, particularly in {{wp|black pepper}}, became an influential activity for [[Occidental]] traders.

This trade, which drove world trade from the end of the [[Timeline_of_major_world_events#Medieval_history|Middle Ages]] well into the [[Timeline_of_major_world_events#Occidental_renaissance_history|Renaissance]], ushered in an age of [[Occidental]] domination in [[Audonia]]. Channels such as the [[Middle seas region]] served as bridges for cultural and commercial exchanges between diverse cultures as nations struggled to gain control of the trade along the many spice routes. In [[1628]], the [[Daxia]]ns opened the first trans-[[Polynesian Sea|Polynesian]] [[The_Southern_Route#Establishment|route]] between itself and the [[Caphiria]]n [[Pelaxia|Province of Pelaxia]]. | This trade, which drove world trade from the end of the [[Timeline_of_major_world_events#Medieval_history|Middle Ages]] well into the [[Timeline_of_major_world_events#Occidental_renaissance_history|Renaissance]], ushered in an age of [[Occidental]] domination in [[Audonia]].
