Greece is a realm of traditions and honour. The people believe strongly in respecting past generations and keeping the glory and honour of their ancestors intact by living good and virtuous lives, as well as working to expand and grow the glory of their family name. The militaries of these kingdoms are comprised of skilled sailors and brave warriors who believe in the Gods and Goddesses of war supporting them in victory. Their politics are often more subtle and cut-throat than the bold and brash, bloodier ways of ruling in other realms. Politicians and royals alike would rather outwit and politically trap their opponents than they would spill their blood but they are in no way afraid to get their hands dirty, when they feel that no other option is available. The class and wealth disparity in the Grecian lands is far less than in other realms and they believe in gender equality, if not gender synonymy. Women are banned from the military and from certain elements of politics but they are regarded as having the most important tasks of all, including raising the next generation; a field in which men have a lesser say. Located in the southern eastern corner of Europe, Greece is the centre of our world map. A realm of islands with beautiful seascapes and clear horizons, the Aegean is a picturesque realm of blues and whites. The people of Greece tend to be thoughtful, brave, honour-bound and traditional.
Consisting of many islands, all within a few hours to a few days of travel to each other, the limited land that is available in the Aegean is generally fertile and good for growing fruit and exotic vegetables. The seas around the islands are high in fish and wildlife. The Greek people are skilled boat builders and sailors. The climate of the area consists of hot, sweltering summers and a rainy season with monsoon-like torrents in the fall.
Grecians hold themselves to a certain level of excellence. Having strong faith in the ideas of tradition and honour, to not perform to the best of your ability is considered an insult to the Gods and to your ancestors' names. This often causes the peoples of the Greek kingdoms to seem arrogant and aloof but also ambitious and driven. The concept of honour is an important one to those born of the Aegean and to insult someone's honour can result in family feuds or personal apathy. The Aegeans tend to take the word of others regarding their own honour, however. So, if someone determines that you are a shame to your family and have no honour, you would then be more likely to work to reattain that honour, than you would be to challenge them in a defensive display of aggression. On the flip side of this, the Greek realm is considered a beautiful paradise; a gift from the Gods, and its peoples, therefore, believe in the importance of relaxation and the celebration and enjoyment the world the Gods have created for them. They can, therefore, be just as dedicated in their leisure time as in their careers. The people of the Greek realm are known as Aegeans, Grecians or Greeks.
Inter-Kingdom Politics
Currently, all three Greek kingdoms are in good communication with one another. A Peace Treaty established by King Zenon of Taengea ten years ago is still new in the grand scheme of history but has remained strong. Colchis remains important within the region as the origin of most of the realm's gold, silver and metal ore; Athenia holds might through sheer number of people and mass scale of land and Taengea's royal treasury is the most full. Each kingdom offers something important to the collaboration, continuing to ensure peace. Ties of friendship over simple duty to peace are slowly being built.
With most Grecian princes and princesses still unmarried, opportunities for stronger bonds between the kingdoms exist but so too do disagreements. Trade negotiations are always heated debates and there are natural distrusts between the peoples of the Aegean isles. Dialects of language imply those who are foreign and stereotypes of pompous Athenians, dull or stupid Colchians and frivolous Taengeans still hold true for many people.
The Grecian Calendar
Greece operates on the following calendar system. This system is utilised when creating new threads in the Thread Description, so that other members can follow threads chronologically.
January
Azosios
February
Karneios
March
Praratios
April
Hermaios
May
Gamos
June
Teleos
July
Posidaios
August
Artamisios
September
Agrianios
October
Panamos
November
Kuklios
December
Apellaios
Dates, for the ease of a modern audience, are kept to modern day. 30 days has September, so 30 days has Agrianios. Leap years are ignored.
If you are required to write a date down (such as for character birthdays), these are structured with the Month followed by the date. There are no suffixes such as 'st' or 'th'. So, if your character was born on the first of January, their birthday would be written as: Azosios 1.
Day-dates do not need to be used in the Thread Descriptions on the IC Boards. They are purely for aiding in calculating character age and order of story. When creating a new thread, all dates should be structured with the Month followed by a comma and then the year. Ex: Azosios, 672 BC.
