- | ===== Overview ===== | + | |
- | The far eastern reaches of Cahyali are a polar wasteland, to some… but to Pthora, it is home. Mostly tundra, the technical territory of Pthora spans most of the far-eastern side of the Cahyali continent, although most of their population is located only in the north. The climate of Pthora is cold year-round, with temperatures approaching temperate in the midst of summer. A mystical leyspring lies in the south, its surroundings shrouded in mystery and danger. Pthora is loosely based on the real-world country of Russia. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Since its founding, Pthora has known constant war - thousands of years ago, against the armies of Dahabu, and more recently, it has been locked in an arms race against Ley’Ork and the Oxis Alliance. In the intervening time, its struggle against the cold of the southern tundra has defined national identity. Pthora and war are entities so deeply linked that one cannot disentangle them any longer. With the largest standing army and most developed military in all of Cahyali, its martial might is a force to be reckoned with. | + | |

- | + | ||
- | Having switched hands rapidly from dictatorship to dictatorship over the years, the current regime in Pthora calls itself the **Ember Army,** led by their High General **Katerina Svetlana.** She rules from the Winter Office, in the grand city of Polis, and is considered on the same level as a god by most of the Pthoran populace. | + | |
- | + | ||
- | Svetlana employs a small cabinet of trusted subordinates, | + | |
- | + | ||
- | The Ember Army enforces a variety of laws through its stringent police force, and carries out many public executions. These are attended by massive crowds of people, usually taking the form of hanging or death by firing squad. Pthoran prisons usually take the form of work camps near the edge of Johtalit territory, and inmates are occasionally sent on expeditions into the wilderness - promised freedom if they return. | + | |
