Estallia Island
An island in the Reaping Sea off the coast of the Ambicuaria Jungle, Estallia is a colony of the Empire of Alcaldar. After one of Castorhage’s ships accidentally found its way to the small island during a storm and the company members aboard the vessel pressured the islanders to become a holding of the city-state, the people of Estallia Island instead responded positively to overtures from Alcaldar. It has been more than 90 years since the hereditary chieftain resigned and Estallia came under the empire’s protection. Although there has been friction, the people of the island believe things certainly would have been worse if one of the trading companies of Castorhage had taken charge instead. Formerly known as Ixtal’a, the island’s name was smoothed into something more harmonious to Alcaldrich ears after its annexation.
Nutmeg has long grown on Estallia, and since joining Alcaldar this has become the island’s primary export. Connoisseurs claim Estallian nutmeg has a distinctive flavor, which has made it both popular and valuable. The island nation’s secondary means of support is, of course, fishing.
The capital of Goullave is a town of more than 3,000 people at the southern end of the island, and Estallia has a few other towns and villages as well. The Alcaldrich started a small port town of their own at the northern end of the island. Granvilla, as they named it, has about 500 residents.
