Early modernity saw the Kingdom as a whole rise as a maritime, commercial, and colonial power. The northern isles, however, remained a backwater and saw few direct benefits from the growth of the Ardmori Empire. Many northerners, especially landless younger sons of crofters, did participate in the expansion of the empire as sailors, soldiers, and pioneers, leaving their homes in large numbers for the exotic climes of Crona. Whether they found their fortunes or met their maker in these far-off lands, few who left would return. For those who stayed behind, the northern isles would remain impoverished, agrarian, and isolated. | |||
