Ithos

Ithos.png
Ithos is a pacifist-like oligarchy on the planet Althezar, contrasting Usma and it's militaristic government with a higher focus towards the arts.

As of the 22nd of Amarsil, 302 AI, the cities and lands of The Reservoir, Falleheim, and Darendale have seceded from Ithos to form The New Republic of Falleheim. The cause of this being the war between Rammoth Keep and The Reservoir, and the fact that the Ithonian Guard is doing nothing about it.

Notable Locations

Government
The government in Ithos is largely governed by the Lotus Accord, a group of the most powerful politicians on the continent.

Military
The Ithonian Military, also known as the Marble Legion, is treated more as a place of social status than an actual guard. Although they are made of the highest graduates and the best guardsmen on the continent, the guard is known to be fairly apathetic towards crime in most cases, although that does not account for all of the guard. Their garb tends to be bright in color with a stark white chest piece.

The Ithonian Navy, also known as the Crescent Navy, is the most powerful Navy in the world.

Economy
The economy of Ithos is based largely off the arts and music. The economy is extremely guild centric.

Social Status
Your social status in Ithos is entirely based on your wealth. Wearing flowy, colorful clothing in Ithos is a sign of wealth. Ships are also painted extravagantly to show the adventures of the crew, or simply to show the wealth of the captain.

Crime
The crime rate in Ithos is extremely high due to it's lax guardsmen, with it's criminal underbelly controlling a lot of what goes on. Pickpocket rings flood most streets, and drug cartels funnel what illegal drugs there are across borders. The Man of Many Faces is known to be the leader of most of Ithos' criminal empire.

Legends
There are plenty of myths and rumors of treasure strung across the Pandyssian Ocean, ranging from lost treasure to cities of gold.
