Sabelli

Faction Overview	Strategic Overview	History
The Sabelli have the power of Defiance.
Nestled in the mountains ranging far across the southern Apenines are the Sabelli, who have long farmed and shepherded the sun-kissed lands of northern Italia. Theirs is an ancient way of life, for the fertile volcanic soil of their ancestral lands provides all that can be humanly hoped for, and then some.
Yet it is the richness of their lands which could well be their downfall, for the Sabelli are not alone. Rumours of the fertility of Italians lands have spread far and wide. From the beginning, the Sabelli had to compete with colonists from Illyria, who have since then founded new colonies bordering the lands of the Samniti, the southeasternmost of the Sabelli tribes. Next to come were new colonists from Greece and Asia, who founded the Italiot and Tyrrheniot cities to the south and north, and now vie with each other for Italy's vast mineral resources. Time is now running out for the Sabelli, for they are now beset on all sides by foreign aggressors — the Sabelli must unite to head off this threat, or else be lost to the winds of history.
