History
A Greek-style nation closely allied with
Thessalya, holding deeply-rooted customs and traditions.
Richer in natural beauty and resources than her cousin
to the south, Thippus is also less warlike, using its small
fleet and army for defense only (a source of frustration
to the neighboring Thessalyan King.) A prosperous land,
where even the common folk enjoy a full life relatively
free from deprivation. Trade is fruitful, with the Alliance
partners, Castille & the Empire, and to some extent,
with the elves of Llohna. For this latter reason, elves
are frequently found visiting or even living in beautiful
Thippus, mixing elven customs with Thippan tradition. It
is a land of peace and plenty, though its citizens (and
rulers) tend to be naïve about the aggressive intentions
of some neighbors… |
