The Alpine Passes

vivaro_alpine_passes

Mont Cenis, the Col de Montgenèvre, the Col de Larche: the great transalpine routes connecting the Mediterranean world to northern Europe all pass through our territory, making even modest lords the indispensable gatekeepers of international movement. Merchants, armies, papal legates, and pilgrims all pay to cross our ground, and the traffic that passes through our hands gives us information, contacts, and leverage that purely inland powers could never accumulate. This position as the crossroads of transalpine exchange makes our diplomacy unusually well-informed and our merchants unusually well-connected.
