Cyclos

Cyclos is one of the splinter states of old Kharos, centred around the city of Cycladia. It is run by a military government due to its status as the Plainspeoples' punching bag. It uses this prerogative, as the 'Grand Cyclosian March' , to 'protect' the other human states by conducting endless campaigns against the People.
Cyclosian armies are lightly-armoured and large. They are optimised to fight the swift Plainspeople, using the ideology that, if caught, a soldier will stand no chance anyway so armour is no object.
Typically a Cyclosian soldier will wear a light helmet of copper or brass - depending on rank and status these helmets may bear several feathers to imitate a horsehair plume. Some soldiers, mostly higher-ranking, also wear breastplates and greaves. Cyclosian soldiers carry ranged weapons such as slings, bows and javelins, as well as daggers and sometimes kopis swords.
The Cyclosian army rank system is thus: Strategos -> Lariarch -> Tarparios -> Polarch ->Korios ->Soldier.
