Description - Known as the “Spice Islands", these lands were the incredibly lucrative starting point of the spice trade. Spices like Nutmeg and Cloves were only found here and commanded high prices. The shape of the map mimics the “K” shape of islands like Halmahera and the nearby Celebes.
Settlements - Malay, Jesuits, Sufi
Trade Route - Maritime
Resources - Herds of Babirusa, Javan Rusa (deer), and Cassowary interspersed with berry bushes on the main island. Very dense coverage of berry bushes on the outlying islands (represents spice plants and synergizes with Malay’s Spice Island Traders tech)
