Brythia

**Brythia** was a nation settled in the Northwest part of Aeros. They house a variety of different races and cultures, with each town being uniquely different. Because of its diversity, there are several different religions, all of which are accepted. The capitol, **Caldicot**, is located in the northwest part of the nation.

## History

### Escape form Greed and Tyranny

The origins of Brythia began in a world far from Aeros. This world, long since eroded, was under the control of a tyrannical corporation, exploiting the land past its limit. The corporation, Skorr Tech, sought to capitalize on the plentiful resources of the world. After centuries, the world ran dry, ransacked of its beauty. It became a rotting shell of what it was. Though the economy flourished under Skorr Tech's rule, some were unhappy with the state of the world and how Skorr Tech left it in disarray and ruin. Those few came up with a plan. They broke into the Skorr Tech facility and stole as much as they could, minerals, wood, tools, and weapons. They all boarded one of their ships and set off in search of a new place to call home, far from the reach of Skorr Tech. This search led them to Aeros.

### Landing on Aeros

Landing on Aeros, the few survivors decided to live a free life, one different from what Skorr Tech offered. They formed Brythia with the goal of becoming wealthy. They settled on the (name of body of water) by the (name of body of land in close proximity to body of water), setting up fleets, each one unique, and towns along the coast.

## Geography

Most of the cities in Brythia lie on the coast of the *Brythian Cove.* The land is mostly made up of mountains and forests, but there are occasionally deserts and jungles. Their geographical location provides ample space for both agriculture, fishing, and access to the Aerosian Sea, which spans across the central part of the continent. Being centered on trade, the easy accessibility of the towns makes shipping faster as everything is a boat ride away.

## Government

Brythia's way of government works similarly to an oligarchic democracy. In the case that a decision to become allies or go to war is held, a democratic vote will be in order. The highest rank of government is Admirals, followed by Mayors and then normal citizens.

Admirals are the highest-ranking members of government. In terms of power, they get a single vote in the case that a vote is to be held. Admirals are usually the founders of large towns belonging to the nation as well as long-standing, trusted Mayors.

Mayors are the second highest ranked members. This role is given to founders of any town officially recognized by the Admirals. Mayors operate under the guidance of Admirals, who don't interfere in the dealings of a mayor's town (unless intervention is needed). In the case that a vote is held, Mayors receive 1/2 of a vote.

Lastly, Brythian Citizens are everyday people. They hold the same amount of power as would a diplomat. They do not have a say when a vote is held but can express their opinions through the mayor of their town/city.

## Economy

The Brythian economy is an open market. Anyone can sell almost anything. Since each town/city operates almost independently to the nation, each town can decide its own plan. Brythia was formed with the goal to become the one of the wealthiest nations in Aeros. Their central position allows for easy transportation of goods throughout the continent. As most cities are along the coast, fishing is one of its primary industries, followed by agriculture and manufacturing.

## Culture

Brythia contains countless different cultures and ways of life. This is mainly due to the nomadic nature of its origin along with the mercantile aspect of its economy.

### Cuisine

Being close to the water, most dishes contain fish or seafood. Each city has its own tastes and tend to use local ingredients along with imported goods.

### Architecture

Though each city has its own style most follow a medieval/steampunk design. Brythian architecture, however, is not bound to one style and varies depending on the city's cultural origins and nearby geography and resources.
