Anecian Islands

Overview
The Anecian Islands are a group of islands located between the countries of Estila & Minetia and Cesatano & Whitewater. Many of these islands have been claimed due to many different resources such as cotton, tobacco, corn, cocoa, and paper products. Pockets of oil have also been noted in the northern most islands and are shared between the powers of Whitewater and Minetia with small conflicts over unclaimed islands happening on occasion. Though some islands here are still uncontrolled or contested, the Anecian Sky is home of some of the most stable and safe colonies in Cael.

Culture
The culture of these islands varies on their location and their general population since many of them have a high population of foreign colonists. Many islands have a very tribal nature about them and have not united into one nation, allowing for the larger powers to take hold of them through diplomacy or force. Often times they devert their religious views deal within the idea of spirits and dieties usually dealing with the sun and sky, crafting temples and shrines of stone that try and reach out to it. Locals reactions in regards to foreigners are very mixed, some accepting their protection and the benefits of a colony while others refuse to submit to the metal birds soaring through the sky.
