The Eastern Trade League

## History

### The Diarmuid Islands

The Diarmuid Islands also frequently referred to as the six islands were islands settled and built on by two Ancient tribes. These tribes later went on to create two villages and lived on seperate islands still relatively close. These villages had traded goods such as wool, tools, food, in exchange for the widely used emeralds. The two islands of which were settled are named Bláthíne the spruce biome village and Machairí the plains biome. These villages had settle there for hundreds of years trading but peace did not last long. The Bláthíne village had sent a villager to simply trade their emeralds for some wheat, but the village golem had mistaken the Bláthíne villager for a Machairí theif and had chased and killed the innocent villager. The Bláthíne village had seen this as an act of aggression and had sent 4 hired pillagers to pillage and kill the golem and raid the leaders house, this ignited the Eastern Wars between the two tribes which had caused 30 years of on and off war and bitter tensions. There seemed like no sight to the end of the war but when a Bukahl was appointed as the leader in Bláthíne he had realized that the two nations had a bright future if they just cooperated and had ceased all military operations and attacks on Machairí and had met with their leader to ultimately sign the Comhionann treaty.

### Growth and Investment

Approximately 20 years after the Comhionann treaty was signed the newly formed nation of Cairde Mór was gaining a lot of attention from arriving settlers from foreign lands. Many people had seen the immense growth on the island with the two towns creating and generating revenue and product to sell and trade. One investor by the name of Willie from a far away village had taken a trip to visit Cairde Mór and had seen the potential in its wealth. He had invested all of his emeralds in the island and built a small house by himself. He created a wood buisness where he cut down wood, sanded it and perfected it for tables, boats, floors, houses, and tools. His business had grown and so had his popularity on the island. He became very friendly with the villagers and had even talked with the leader. Willie wanted to create a global trading center where anyone can create stores and venders for their businesses and expand the market of the world and create and stabalize an economy within the growing world. Willies plans had been shown to the leader and with much deliberation the leader had decided to make a deal with Willie. Willie was granted leadership of the islands and approved for all of his plans. The only rule he would follow is to keep the villagers and natives happy and let them stay on their native land. With that a new global market and trade center was born.
