Erkalgani (culture)
The Erkalgani cannot resist the call of the sea, bravely venturing forth into uncharted waters to expand their diaspora of maritime colonies along the coasts of Western Aironoi. Wherever they go, the riches of Aironoi soon follow, as countless merchant fleets trace the steps of their explorers to reveal new markets and connect with distant peoples. As a result, Erkalgani cities often evolve into a chaotic kaleidoscope of competing outposts and trade stations that vie amongst themselves for market shares and customers—often through underhanded means.
