From ehat I can recall from Cities, until quite recently, the Khinasi
still traded with Djapar, that IS another continent and the homeland
of the Basarji. However, things became quite frosty between them as
the people of Djapar still worship Basaia, and have never heard of
this new god Avani, so the Khinasi have more or less been frozen out
by their homeland, which is ruled with a bit of an iron hand by all
accounts, as being religious nuts with 'dangerous' new ideas that the
people shouldn't be exposed too.
The Sahirde-el-Mehare did have colonies of either the Basarji or
Masetians on them, but I think they went backward or left/died out.
The islands are a often-used stopover point for water etc.
I think (?!).
