Hostilities with the Royal Deadfire Company are ongoing.They do not think anything of the Huana's claims to the land there, and believe it is only a matter of time before they are able to wrest it away with their charms and wiles. The VTC is at peace with the Huana, but see the Huana as little more than a means to get what they want from Deadfire.While the Vailian Trading Company is generally considered reputable among the major foreign powers it trades with, on the frontier, far from the prying eyes of overseers, those standards quickly degrade. The directors of the company are motivated by the belief that the Vailians are the best traders in the world, and must always continue to be. Beneath that, however, runs a strong undercurrent of cultural pride. Philosophy and Goals - The Vailian Trading Company exists, according to its charter, for the sole purpose of enriching its investors, and, by proxy, the Vailian Republics themselves. The VTC was first featured in Pillars of Eternity during the quest 'At All Costs' in Ondra's Gift.

The Vailian Trading Company is the largest with a ducal charter and the only trading company with a canc suolias (five suns) charter, meaning it has the full backing of all five Grand Ducs of the Vailian Republics. (Abbreviated as VTC in some text locations) Those latter two items are the primary staples of their trade economy. Gunpowder likely originated there, and they still trade in it as well as raw saltpeter.

They are like children who refuse to grow up.Resources - Rauatai is known worldwide for its cannons. But rather than establishing a stable country (like their cousins in the Republics), they remained shiftless and aimless, living on ships and in driftwood towns that are one squall away from destruction. Like the Rauataians, the Príncipi had to leave their homeland.

What looks like adaptability to the Príncipi looks like haphazardness to the Rauataians.

What they need is some good ol' Rauataian civilization to set them straight. They don't solve problems, so they're beholden to them. They were fractured by the disaster that drove the Rauataians away, and rather than establish a strong nation, most of them drift from island to island chasing seasonal resources.

Huana - They are super disorganized and (seemingly) passive - it's why they haven't flourished like the Rauataians.

Their preference for polymaths over specialists suggests impatience, which can never lead to true mastery.

Vailians/VTC - They are deceitful, flamboyant, and frivolous, emphasizing form over function.

They believe that through organization and engineering, they can bring civilization to Deadfire. They have flourished through a mixture of intrepid exploration, aggressive conquest, and relentless engineering of their hardscrabble homeland. The more hawkish personalities in their government have made steady progress towards a more aggressive "best defense is a good offense" stance in the world, and the leadership of the RDC comes from that mindset. Philosophy and Goals - Rauataians as a cultural group have a long history of trade and conquest. Their titles and behavior reflect that view of the world. In contrast to the Vailian Trading Company, the RDC is organized like a naval force. The Rauataians believe that the native Huana culture is inferior to their own and treat the Huana people accordingly. While they are interested in the harvest of precious resources from the region, the RDC have a long-term goal of conquering the archipelago and making it an extension of their empire. The Royal Deadfire Company is based in the aumaua nation of Rauatai but have expanded their empire's reach to their ancestral homeland in the Deadfire Archipelago.
