The Island KheionFounded by Kherkan settlers searching for pearls, Anisíkheion is the only kheion built entirely on an island. The largest island in The Cleaved Sea, the Anisíkheioni took well to the sea, gaining a reputation as excellent sailors. Although pearl hunting is still practiced by the islanders, Anisíkheion has focused much of its energy into perfecting the art of naval combat, with its navy second only to Oktikheion’s in terms of quality and skill.

Cleaved Sea GalleycraftThe Cleaved Sea has always been important to our people. Its beautiful waters were the only thing other than our cities that would remain untouched by the winds of the Kaydhano and it provides the quickest way to move between settlements. Due to its essential role we have continuously sought to improve the vessels which we use to navigate it.

Foundation of the NékheisWhen the Kheions of Alecand outgrew their wind-warded walls, they looked beyond the storm-ravaged island for expansion opportunities. They founded our ‘New Cities' – nékheis, to both enrich themselves and to keep those riches out of the hands of their rivals. We are the children of the nékheis, and we shall come to hold these riches ourselves.

The Southern Passage TollThe Southern Passage Toll is the traditional toll paid by merchants in order to enter Anisíkheion’s waters. Taking advantage of their position as the gate to The Cleaved Sea, much of the revenue of Anisíkheion would come from the toll, most of which would be spent on its fleet.

The Armada of AldanosThe rise of Amgremósi piracy would lead to a decrease in Taychendi-Kheionai trade, which directly threatened Anisíkheion’s primary source of revenue. In 1503 AA, Kylakas Aldanos responded to this by sponsoring the creation of a massive fleet to combat the Amgremósi corsairs along the entire length of the passage. An unofficial war would ensue between Anisíkheion and Amgremós that would last for 80 years, only ending in the 1580s with the end of Amgremósi piracy. Even after the main threat of piracy had passed, Anisíkheion kept and maintained its huge fleet, becoming one of the strongest in terms of naval power in The Cleaved Sea.

Andic Merchant FleetsBeyond the Chendhya our explorers found the Taychendi, a civilized yet backwards people living in bountiful lands. Ever resourceful, the merchants of our cities saw a golden opportunity. With sponsorship from the State, raised the largest mercantile fleets that Kheionai history had ever recorded and sailed them past the Andic Reach to profit from the wealthy trade.

A Fleet With a KheionThroughout the 1500-1600s, the influence of the Anisíkheioni admiralty would grow immensely. So much in fact, that the great Lokemeioni philosopher Ultaris Darides was quoted as saying, "Anisíkheion is not a kheion with a fleet, but a fleet with a kheion.". So great was the power of the admiralty, that the civilian government was little more than a puppet, kept around to placate Kherka. In the mid 1700s when a great kaydhano cut off the nékheis from Alecand, the admiralty did away with the civilian government of Anisíkheion entirely, establishing a naval stratocracy.
