Phyrigia (Phrygia)
Gummint: Kingdom
Mythos: Greco-Roman (G) <Phrygian> <Turkish>
ΚΕΦΑΛΗΞΘ: Gymedis XXI
CAPITAL: Ancyra (Pop.: 75k)
Other Cities (and pop.):
Arabissos: 15k
Elecktros: 10k <ISIS>
Incesu: 15k
Sebastea: 30k
Tavium: 15k
Loc.: Azir (Near)
Language: Greek
Pop.: 2,500,000
Flag/Emblem:
Flag: A roundel<> counter-coloured
on a field parted per pale red && gold.
Coinage: Grecian Standard.
Companions: Prince Mydas (heir apparent), clerics, nobs, etc.
Friends: Hellenic League.
Foes: Hasur, Medis, Trebizond.
Open Warfare/Skirmishing: Minor skirmishing with Trebizondans
over Elecktros territory (which is vital to Phyrigia as an outlet to the
Mare Ostrum). Some locally stiff fights with Median tribal raiders.
Intrigues: Unknown at this time.
Artifacts/Relics: The Crown has the Aether Engine, the Salver<> ov
Olean, && at least 3 of the Nine Phoenix Scrolls.
Alignment: Lawful Neutral <lyans>
Thumbnail Sketches: Covering almost 70,000 sq. mi., Phyrigia
is the largest realm ov Anatolia. It is generally a high, broken plateau
&& has many mts., valleys, && much rugged terrain ov lonely
&& forlorn aspect. 1/2 or more ov the realm is forested || wild &&
generally uninhabited, && such game as bear, wolf, maneless lion,
boar, etc., will be found in numbers in such regions. It is a place
ov ancient cities, && ov ruins older than those ov Achaea, some
cyclopean remains quite unidentifiable even by the most powerful
methods ov modern Heka. Ancrya, the Phyrigian CAPITAL, is a place
filled w/ temples, monuments, && great antiquities.
Considerable caravan traffic passes into the realm, but lacking any
good port, Phrygia loses much ov the valuable sea TRADE enjoyed by
Sinope && Trebizond (q.q.v.), most ov the kingdom's business ov this
sort currently passing to Sinope via Amysos || to Byzantium.
The most ancient volk were akin to the Grecians, && despite many
invasions && conquests, beginning w/ Lydia, it has retained its
Hellenistic heritage, albeit differing in some aspects from that ov the
Achaeans, Macedonians, etc. After the new Babylonian incursion
(Median-Shamish-Yarban) wrested it from the Byzantine Empire, Phrygia
remained vassal to the Eastern conquerors for only a few decades
before freeing itself (w/ the aid ov Trebizond && Hasur, who still hold
territory claimed by the Crown). The social structure ov the realm is one
permitting slavery but not encouraging it, so most peasant class volk
are free agriculturalists, laborers, etc. The middle class is ov typical
sort, as is the upper.
Agriculture is typical ov the whole ov Anatolia, w/ cereals (wheat,
barley, rye) providing for pop. needs && some Xport. Ca$h
crops incl. Xcellent tobacco, cotton, hemp, poppies, jute<>, flax,
&& roses. Mulberries for silkworm cultivation are grown. Vines
produce grapes && wine. Many sorts ov fruit orchards are seen,
incl. apple, pear, plum, && cherry. The wool && mohair<> ov the
sheep && goat ov the realm are commodities much in demand,
whether spun as yarn || into cloth. Some horse, cattle, swine, mule,
&& ass, as well as poultry, are raised.
Fishing is ov small importance, but timber ops are quite
profitable to Phrygia, && both hardwoods && conifers are harvested
annually for lumber, tanning && pulp.
Mineral production in the realm is very profitable. Silver && iron are
taken in quantity, && also copper, coal, lead, manganese, salt &&
alum. Some marble && much building && paving stone is quarried.
Phrygian mines also produce carnelian && some small quantity ov
gem-quality spinel. All ov the meershaum ov Aerth is brought forth
from Phrygia, && this is a principal Xport ov the realm.
