	The Strait of Soluga is a naval passage on the eastern coast of [[La Rossa]], measuring a length of 51.7 kilometers, connecting the southern coast of the island with the [[Gulf of Mineria]]. Cold weather had characterized the passage prior to the [[Second Calming\|Calming]], as the rocks of the island of Soluga weren't able to shield the waters from the full brunt of the Storm. However, following changes in climate brought by the sudden calm, the weather remains temperate all year. Despite the strait's absolute width measuring 1,746 meters, the shallow waters around the coasts of the islands of [[La Rossa]] and [[Soluga]] heavily constrain passage for larger ships, which had historically oftentimes crashed into the submerged rocks and protrusions, especially during low tide. As a result, smaller and medium-sized ships had been favored throughout most of history. The two coastlines that define the strait heavily differ, with grassy plains and sandy shores of the mainland greatly contrasting with the sediment and shale on the Solugan side.

	The '''Strait of Soluga''' (Ros. '''{{lang\|ros\|~~Stratto~~ di Soluga}}''') is a naval passage between the [[La Rossa\|Rossan]] [[city-province]] of [[Buglio]] and the island of Soluga, today known as [[Lighthouse Island]]. Prior to the [[2nd Calming\|Calming]], it served as a major channel for travel and trade across the island of La Rossa, being the shortest navigable passage for movement across the east coast of the island. Today, the strait has lost most of its previous notoriety, as the island of Soluga has been cleared from the [[Perpetual storm\|Storm]], allowing for passage around it, useful particularly for larger vessels. Although the strait is still used by commercial ships, regulations have allowed only ships below a certain size use it, as the coast along the strait has been turned into beach resorts.

	The [[Unification of La Rossa\|Rossan unification]] in [[1044 TT]] led to a change of the legal status of the strait, as [[Buglio]], along with the other city-states, had mutually agreed upon giving up such forms of leverage, in order to ensure free trade among the cities. While the city-states, now renamed to [[city-provinces]] to reflect their established areas of control, remained mostly sovereign authorities over their own land, the coastal waters of the island had effectively been converted to common ownership, with no city-province alone being allowed to exercise power to prohibit the passage of men and goods through their waters. Such a status largely remains in place to this day, following a centuries-long process towards the centralization of the state.

			The island of [[Soluga]] has likely been known and recognized since the 2700s TT, when signs of settlement first emerged around what is today known as [[Buglio]]. A moderately large mass of shale and rocks, strong weather brought on by the [[Perpetual storm\|Storm]] disallowed permanent settlements be constructed on the island, with most of it remaining unexplored until after the [[Second Calming]]. It would later become known that [[Deysachin]] was knowledgable of the island in the past, prior to the Calming. Its name derives from the Rossan {{lang\|ros\|solo}}, meaning alone or solitary, due to the harsh conditions that led to it staying abandoned throughout most of its history.

			Despite its small size, the island's position at the outer edges of the Storm effectively constrained passage through the waters into the small sliver of water between the island and the mainland, as the Storm itself was deemed impossible to traverse. As a result, the Strait of Soluga has served as a major trade route since the 1400s TT, as advances in shipbuilding led to the rise of long-distance trade around the island of La Rossa. [[Constanzo Miglio di Padeno\|Constanzo Miglio]], the father of [[Padeno]], would embark on journeys through the strait in the 1300s, hastening travel between the south and the north of the island. The rising importance of the strait as a means of passage gave immense negotiating power to [[Buglio]], the [[Rossan city-states\|city-state]] that hosted it. Owing to the lack of viable alternatives (the only other ways to reach the southern coast without passing through the strait were going around the western coast, or through the Storm itself), Buglio would leverage its hold over the waters to ensure favorable trade deals with its immediate neighbors, especially following the [[Silver Rush of 1296 TT]], when the city-state avoided most conflict by threatening blockades, most notably that of wheat and grain.

			The [[Unification of La Rossa\|Rossan unification]] in [[1044 TT]] led to a change of the legal status of the strait, as [[Buglio]], along with the other city-states, had mutually agreed upon giving up such forms of leverage, in order to ensure free trade among the cities. While the city-states, now renamed to [[city-provinces]] to reflect their established areas of control, remained mostly sovereign authorities over their own land, the coastal waters of the island had effectively been converted to common ownership, with no city-province alone being allowed to exercise power to prohibit the passage of men and goods through their waters. Such a status largely remains in place to this day, following a centuries-long process towards the centralization of the state.
