Overview

The Lordship of the Isles have long collected tribute from states wishing to use this long, tropical, shark-infested passage between the Tilvanot Peninsula and northwestern Hepmonaland. Such tribute is negotiated through diplomats and paid in advance, and Lordship vessels patrol the straits, hunting for vessels whose home states have not paid the fee while also ensuring that those who have paid made the journey safely (i.e., are not attacked by pirates, rumored to actually be Duxchaner privateers).
