Thebaoi

Faction Overview	Strategic Overview	History
The Thebaoi have the power of Resolve.
Denizens of the famous ancient Hellene city-state of Thebes in Boeotia, the Thebaoi are proud of their heritage, and rightfully so — it was in Thebes that the great demigod Heracles war born, as were his wife Megara and his companion Iolaus. Ordinary Thebaoi may be far more mundane than these great figures of history, but their position, smack in the middle of Hellas, requires heroic courage. for decades, the war between Sparta and Athens (the latter being a rival to the Theban nation) has ravaged the land while two foreign powers — Macedon and Persia — continuously menace the very existence of the Greeks.
It will be up to the people of the Seven-Gated City to rise up and prove their heroic credentials, for great are the perils posed to Hellas by the infighting between the great cities, and the machinations of foreign barbarians. For the Thebaoi, being able to achieve for all Hellas a lasting peace from which they may profit would be a prize indeed worthy of the risks of renewed conflict and possibly extinction at their foes' hands.
