With the introduction of the first adventuring ships, horizons began to broaden again. On [[Miraman]] 22, 461 AF, the maiden voyages of the first five production-model [[Thalassian seastrider]]s set out from the port of [[Tasur'ke]]. The ''Queen Himalia'' and crew sighted land the following afternoon, coming into port and reestablishing Baarian relations with the peoples of Sapience once more. | With the introduction of the first adventuring ships, horizons began to broaden again.

Zanzibaar sits between Lemnian and Notic waters: east of [[New Hope]], south of the [[Ulangi Isles]], and southeast of Shallam. The isle is dominated by dense, low-lying jungle thickets that push right up to the main walls of the city, interspersed with the occasional spice plantation, and the shadowy growth provides a refuge for such elusive creatures as the Baarian [[tiger]]. White beaches and sand bars crop up in the narrow channels between the kingdom's islets. In the waters to the southeast, the [[Phocian Reaches]] ensure a near-constant [[triton]]ic presence. | Zanzibaar sits between Lemnian and Notic waters: east of [[New Hope]], south of the [[Ulangi|Ulangi Isles]], and southeast of Shallam.

Owing largely to its place as a nexus of commerce from nations the world over, the kingdom of Zanzibaar enjoys a comfortable level of wealth and luxury. The large mercantile population has allowed for a sizeable middle class to develop, and the spices produced in its local plantations are prized so that even the agricultural sector does not want for [[Gold sovereigns|gold]]. This exposure to all manner of cultures has nurtured a fairly cosmopolitan way of life. Central to the city is the palace of Zanzibaar, wherein foreign diplomats await audiences with the king amidst the intrigues of the royal court. | Owing largely to its place as a nexus of commerce from nations the world over, the kingdom of Zanzibaar enjoys a comfortable level of wealth and luxury.
