As the borders of the Bagaroki Ors'ruic grew, and the populations of the various regions surged with inflows of new goods and food, this would put new strains on the imperial administration. Hungry mouths need to be fed, and the mercantile nature of the Ors'ruic meant that this liability would be put on the merchants and foreign nations' ability to provide the demanded food. This would primarily come from the Takirotso, who with some of the most fertile land in the world created huge surpluses of foodstuffs. The Ban'so'garekan had bought these foodstuffs for over a millennia but the volume of the trade would increase even more. The Takirotso needed the lumber and mineral goods the Ban'so'garekan could offer and would find themselves with a greater amount of these as food left the ports to feed the growing cities and rural areas of the empire.
This trade would primarily be done in the major trading port of Gápyãnã, where some Ban'so'garekan merchant families and the local Takirotso had mutually constructed the large port city. This would also mean that the two peoples that lived in the city would become similar in many ways, and exchange many ideas and beliefs. Something the two peoples would find much in common was in religion, as the Ban'so'garekan pantheon held much in common with the Takirotso faith, called Rakītso. They both were dualistic in nature, and were inherently tolerant in belief. They held certain animals in high regard, and they both respected the dead highly with very ritualistic ceremonies. They both have lots of sun and moon imagery, and the priesthoods of both areas were integral in maintaining temples and spreading the word to the commoners. What this mostly meant was that the very articulate and positive Rakītso faith would become very popular with the Ban'so'garekan living in Gápyãnã, who would often synchronize some of their own beliefs with the broader structure from the Takirotso. As these people also interacted with others back home in the Bagaroki Ors'ruic, they would become sorts of intermediaries spreading the word of the faith themselves. In addition, the inherent compatibility and tolerance of the two religions would lead to missionaries and priests of the Rakītso faith spreading it throughout many areas of the Ors'ruic, becoming popular amongst many, especially amongst the commoners.
