~~TOC~~
The archipelago that covers the seas between [[Aimsir]] and [[Saoirse]], home to several island cities which have a loose sense of unity but are formally city states.

==== History ====
In the early years of Terran history, the islands of Aeye were uninhabited. Furthermore no new life forms have ever been born directly on any of the archipelago's islands. [[Akkaus]] began colonizing the islands shortly after they developed shipbuilding. These colonies never developed past primitive villages. These cities were conquered by [[Sehti|Sehti'taal]] in the Age of Honor, one of the few open conflicts in that age. The colonies were included in the country of [[Yuanen]] in the Council of Ceilidh

**Timeline**
  * **52.1M BCE**: [[Akkaus]] forms first colonies in Aeye
  * **20.7M BCE**: [[sehti|Sehti'taal]] colonizes in the [[Aeye]] archipelago
  * **18.5M BCE**: [[sehti|Sehti'taal]] conquers [[akkaus|Akkau]] cities in Aeye
  * **2.0M BCE**: Council of Ceilidh ushers in the Age of Balance, Aeye colonies are part of [[Yuanen]]

==== Government and laws ====
The cities of Aeye are organized as city states, having no overarching governing body. Each city has a different organizational structure, from [[Bhiain]]'s experiments with different forms of government, to [[Aois]] with its complete lack of any order. [[Ia]] has a Governor which resembles a mayor, and [[Cead]] has a ruling council that votes on issues of governance. In general the islands are very friendly, and visitors are often forgiven minor offenses due to the complex and ever changing legal landscape

\\
==== Society and culture ====
\\
**Religion**\\
Though the 'nation' of Aeye has no predominant or even prevalent religion, some individuals do practice. The closest form of organized religion can be found in the city of [[Ia]]]. The majority of the citizens follow the Path of the Sword, aspiring to achieve perfection though beauty and discipline, of the body and the mind. They rigorously train their martial skills, and tirelessly devote themselves to artistic expression. Some of the world's great art has come from natives of this city

**Values**\\
The values of this region vary as widely as is possible, though all citizens do share a respect for life and an indomitable desire for freedom. You will rarely catch them imposing any restriction or inconvenience on another, especially when travelling abroad

**Dress**\\
While political and other cultural values differ, the clothing of the region is surprisingly uniform. Clothing is worn loosely and sparsely, and what is worn is simple, and often un-dyed. Footwear, even for soldiers and workers is almost always a sandal, or even going without footwear entirely. Soldiers of [[Ia]] wear cloth wraps on their hands and feet

**Food**\\
Every city with Aeye is a port city and their trading relationship with surrounding nations is very strong. The islands produce large quantities of tropical fruits and vegetables, such as bananas, pineapple, and kiwi, which quickly find their way to tables across the northern hemisphere. As a result, Aeye enjoys delicacies from across the planet, though particularly from the northern hemisphere

**Music and Arts**\\
[[Ia]] and [[Bhiain]] are the main producers of art from the region. [[Ia]] focuses on high art and flawless execution of artistic and musical performance. [[Bhiain]] is concerned with emotional expression and transparency, as well as what they call "practical art"
