Cycladia

Cycladia is the capital city of the militaristic state of Cyclos.
== History ==
Cycladia was founded in 303CE under the reign of the Kharosian King Herakleidius as a frontier city on the border with the Plainspeople. Over the next forty years the border advanced further so Cycladia itself was no longer under threat of raids, but following the Great Gap the Plainspeople grew bolder and the farmlands and hamlets around the city were razed several times.
The raids on the city's surrounds, as well as on the neighbouring city of Thermia, led the populations of both cities to resent the central government who seemed to do nothing to prevent the attacks. Eventually, in 499CE, Cycladia and Thermia declared their independence, which was acknowledged by the Kharosian government in 504CE.
Since then Cyclos has grown in power and its capital city has grown accordingly. Stout walls surrounding the central citadel have been improved and renovated by successive Tyrants, and the city is surrounded by a network of forts and watchtowers as the Plainspeople have only grown stronger and more aggressive in the meantime.
