Macedon

Faction Overview	/Strategic Overview/	/History/
Macedon have the Power of Ambition.
Claiming descent from the mighty Heraklés, the Macedonians are the main military power on the northern Greek mainland, living a way of life allegedly unchanged in Hellas since the Trojan War. So set in their ways are these northerners that they are often viewed with suspicion if not contempt by the more cosmopolitan and urbanised polities of the south and in Achaea. Macedon may seem to look like a cultural backwater, but appearances can always be deceiving: the kings of Macedon have never let this affront to their honour out of sight nor of mind, and seek to change the equation between them and their southern neighbours one day.Macedonian lands, while poor in metals and culture, are however rich in two things - strong military traditions and wooded hills. Macedon controls some of the finest Timber in all Hellas, and for a nation locked between two seas, such a windfall of natural resources will most surely attract the attention of admirals, archons and traders alike who have designs upon the waves. Being a land of rugged hills and having survived continuous conflict between the bloodthirsty Illyrioi, the crafty Greeks to the south and the gold-blessed Thrakioi (not to mention their shadowy overlords, the Achaemenidai of Persia) Macedon too has strong military traditions, born out of the need to protect and survive.
