Entira
Across the Sea and further!
"Set sail! Were going to new land today!"
Those were the words of captain Galius Arkedius when the ships left Entira to go to new colonies in the east. It was called by him "Going back Home" but everyone knew the new expedition won't be to their old homes, as their old homes had no coasts to this sea, the Kadi sea (Mediterian sea).
As the ships sailed southward the fleet reached one of the new growing ports. In this port called Naples already a beautifull city was built in the last 20 years. After Entira took the territory many of the people who lived here befor the Entirans, they were called Latins and other several smaller tribe, and also several communities of Greeks. From this port the navy cotninue east going to Greece and from Greece the ships continued far itno the east to settle new colonies and lands. Cyrpus was one of the major new colonies wich the fleet aimed at reaching. Cyprus already had a tiny Entiran settlement that was created when it was discovered. Now the new people and men came to claim it to be part of Entira. Other than Cyprus, from Greece, parts of the fleet moved northward into area called "Anatolia" be the greeks.
On another place Entiran ships sailed to Cyrene. A new colony on the continent that was called by the Entirans "Egyptus". It was called by this name on the name of the ancient people from Akkadian mythology, the Egyptians, that lived in this continent and were masters of chariots and great monuments. (OOC: Historicaly, the Pyramids were built a long time ago) In this continent Cyrene became a port for the Entirans to trade with Numidian and Beduin tribes on the continent and any other ships that stopped in the ports from time to time to trade. Rumors of other countries in the area became a daily news in this ports.
On another side of the Kadi sea the colony of Carthage, or in some other accents, Carthago, was a new colony the Entirans created. A tiny port mostly unused but some said it will one day become very important, when trade will start moving trought this area. North to Carthage on the island of Sicily, so said by the people who already lived there. Sicily, Carthage and Naples provinces of Entira were unimportant as of now, but the Entirans kenw that most likly people live from both sides of this straights and so contorlling them would proove usefull in the near future for trade and taxes.
And ofcourse the wierdest colony, so said by many Entirans. Genua. This tiny port-village was created by 10 (!) Entirans who looked for trade in Gaul territories. Near Entira itself Aquila was built from the amounts of people who come to live in Entira and from new Entirans being borned. And the last colony was Corsicii.
In the middle of the sea several ships that moved reported about a tiny island chain that wasn't populated. In another report from ships it was reported that several pirate tribes settled the Island and begun pirating Entirans trade lines. In answer to this Entira sent most of it's navy and much miliatery to destory this pirate island and bring new civilians into the island, taking the pirates as slaves to Entira.
