History: The island of Ferniod had always relied on the sea for its lively hood. As a result Ferniod tended to be the birthplace state of the art ship design and navigation since there official founding three hundreds year ago. While never fighting direct military engagements with any established power, the people of Ferniod spent most of early history as pirate hunters and explorers for other nations. Only recently have mainland merchants moved in and established Ferniod as a central trading hub. Uniting the independent city councils with the promise of gold and profit the merchants set off establishing their rule to almost all nearby islands through economic and military conquest. Now the islands are under the complete control of the merchant guild which has taken over all forms of economic and military control. Recently there has been rumors of a possible resistance of the ex-local authorities to oust the merchants and retake control, but as long as the merchants land based military mercs control the cities the seafaring locals of Ferniods and other island states cannot hope to overthrow them. For now the wealthy profit greatly off trade and labor of their island plantation islands, providing cheap goods for profitable trade. The legacy of the Sea still stands tall with the people of the Freniod Free states and the finest “salted” Navigators and Captains on the high oceans still are available to higher for all nations.
