Jenoesa

Jenoesa was founded two hundred years ago during the Third Solar Crusade. A force from several Illegosi cities split into two fleets, and seized both sides of what would later be called the Straits of Jenoesa. This marked the first time in history that any group had controlled both sides of these straits, and immediately, with the help of three separate banking conglomerates, Jenoesa's twin cities were constructed.
This is unquestionably the most important waterway in Vosca. Since the Eastern Karthacki Sea is wracked with annual monsoons that make travel against the currents impossible, only one trade mission per year can reliably get from Karthack to the West, or vice versa. The Broken Sea however connects all of Karthack (via Kurtiye, their long-time trading partner) and the West. However, the Tattered Isles are home to numerous pirates, corsairs and reavers, making trade with the Reich troublesome through the interior sea. Far safer to hug the Eastern coast and slip down through the strait, down to Illegon where the seas are safe.
But in order to get through that strait, a ship must pass through Jenoesa. The city has grown enormously wealthy as a result, demanding small tributes from all of the ships that pass through. The Berkhukans from whom the city was stolen are understandably bitter about it, however, and wars with them or their Kedouan allies are frequent.
