Artychus

Artychus is a vast continent, second only to the Sunderlands in size. During the Splintering, the space offered here gave rise to many city-states that formed along racial lines. These cities each have made their laws and customs based on their alleged old ways and many of them ignore the teachings of the Aenilliad. The continent seems to be a constant tension, with boarder and proxy wars flaring up among neighbors. But for all of their differences, most of the city-states have similarities. Each one is lead by an Archon and have xenophobic attitudes. Such is there hate for each other, that they have entered in defense pacts against foreign aggression for the sole purpose to be able to fight each other without the shame of foreign intervention. As the nations of Cyrant began to expand, leagues formed within Artychus to be able to check the expansion.
