The Shattered Seas

The Golden Line is a direct and unbroken maritime trade corridor stretching from the Dominion’s fortified port town of Viremouth to the Solvaran desert stronghold of Asharak. It is the only officially sanctioned route between the two rival powers, carrying immense strategic and economic weight. Origin: Viremouth, Dominion coastal trade hub south of Aurelsport Destination: Asharak, Solvara’s key inland trade city Traffic: Heavy merchant traffic under escort, with frequent convoys Purpose: Exchange of Dominion craftsmanship and coin for Solvaran relics, dyes, rare minerals, and desert flora Smugglers, pirates, and desert-backed raiders frequently try to intercept vessels near Solvaran waters. From Viremouth: machined parts, firearms, inks, ceramics, wines, and coin From Asharak: uncut gems, relic fragments, alchemical sands, rare herbs, spices, and dyes Hazards: Deepwater predators in the Breathless Expanse Unpredictable sand-choked storms on the approach to Solvara’s coast
