The primary rival of Ornestra in the Inner Sea region, maintaining close ties with Diraan and Faltris in an effort to check the Ornestran Empire and the expansionist goals of Emperor Felosipis Volcapria II. Since the annexation of Chresis they have also begun quietly offering support to Styrlac.
Virstachreon is first and foremost focused on trade over expansion, maintaining trade relations with Neflan, Tremandi, and Tzerimytris. The tribes of the Uldamai being more reclusive there is less regular trade there. Their ships have even ventured out through the Veidland Strait to visit the coasts of Siriadon, though with less success. They even have regular trade with Ornestra, even while working to counter their expansionism, primarily in the hope that trade will prove more an incentive to peace than open warfare. Their prevalence on the Sea of Casselone, however, is actually an irritant to the Ornestran Empire, who suspects (erroneously) Virstachreon of being the source of the privateers that occasionally prey on their ships.
