Spicy Bananas of AfampitroThe spicy bananas of Afampitro were created by the first settlers of the Summer Isles and have been iconic to Vumarano cuisine ever since. Renowned for their taste, many traders among the Summer Isles pay high sums for this spicy dish, while the denizens of Vumarano enjoy it during tribal festivals.

Gold Spears of the ChieftessVumarano’s drylands make it difficult to muster a sizable population and in turn a large military force. Ironically at the same time it provides for excellent training fields and land for army camps. Faced with more powerful neighbors threatening incursions along the border, Chieftess Lalao Manyclove shrewdly navigated the dilemma by opting for a state-backed initiative to attract mercenary companies to the country. By providing a welcoming home for these mercenaries, Vumarano has gained favorable contracts for its wars.

Trawlers of the Tsamonosy SeaThe southern regions of the Summer Isles possess only scarce arable land and so the Vizemby of Vumarano look toward the sea, clustering in villages along the coast. From the poorest of fishermen to the highest of Chieftains, all partake in a vibrant seafaring and fishing culture. These maritime traditions would eventually lead to the infamous Vumarano Trade Fleet of the late 1500s.

The Rise of the Vumarano Merchant ClassFor decades, the Chieftains of Vumarano enjoyed the prosperity of their realm supported by ambitious state-backed traders.

Navalworks of DiritondThe arrival of Cannorian privateer fleets in the middle of the 16th century saw increased raids on Vumarano merchant ships and spurred a rush to modernize the country’s naval industry. The Navalworks of Diritond, notable for its coastal floating construction platforms, turned Vumarano into a potent naval power.

Warlords of TradeSuccessive naval reforms culminated in ruthless Vumarano policy in matters of commerce. With nearly continuous trade wars and an attempt to dominate the market of the Summer Isles, the rulers of Vumarano have gained a title, insult to some and a point of pride to others, as Warlords of Trade.

Alliances of NecessityFrom a full blown trade war in 1602 with Tsanizadai to then allies fending off Rasanjy’s invasion of Tsanizadai, the rulers of Vumarano are no stranger to shifting alliances. Yet once committed, the Vzemby of Vumarano are stalwarts in battle, attempting to ensure a status quo amongst the Summer Isles for undisrupted trade.
