The Two Rivers of the Fertile Crescent

The birthplace of some of history's most illustrious empires, the so-called Cradle of Civilizations, is now a subdivision of our great empire. With it, we have gained access to lucrative trade routes crisscrossing the coasts of Farsistan and the waterways beyond the Pirate Coast and the Persian Gulf. But, with great coin comes great responsibility, and our treasurers warn against overindulging ourselves in our newly-found wealth.\n\nTrade, much like a relationship with a spouse or the growing of a beautiful tree, needs to be cultivated, taken care of, in order to grow and assist us in prospering for the rest of our earthly lives.
