[@Trinais] That sounds good to me, the Skekari west coast has trade coming down from the mountains, so it would make sense for foreign merchants to have set up shop pre-unification. If the neutral faction is cool with it I guess that would mean in general they've got fairly amicable relations. I like the Carthage-esque thing you've got going. I feel like the Skekarii court, or at least the queen, would be focusing a good bit of their diplomatic efforts towards Aegire, given their previous relations. I guess how that works out will be determined eventually haha.
