| General information | |
| Type: | Straight |
| Geopolitical | |
| Region: | Tilvanot Peninsula, Flanaess |
Tilva Strait is the connecting body of water between the Densac Gulf and Oljatt Sea in south eastern Flanaess.
The Lordship of the Isles long collected tribute from states wishing to use this long, tropical, shark-infested passage between the Tilvanot Peninsula and northwestern Hepmonaland. Such tribute was negotiated through diplomats and paid in advance, and Lordship vessels patrolled the straits, hunting for vessels whose home states had not paid the fee while also ensuring that those who had paid made the journey safely (i.e., were not attacked by pirates, rumored to actually be Duxchaner privateers).
When the Lordship fell to the Scarlet Brotherhood in late 583 CY, the nature of the tribute changed. A complete blockade of the straits was applied, with only ships of the Scarlet Brotherhood or Lordship of the Isles being allowed free passage. Cargo from other states could be shipped by Lordship vessels through the straits for an exceptionally high fee. It is heard that piracy here has fallen dramatically as a consequence. The Brotherhood may have charmed sea monsters into aiding the blockade, but details are not available.
