Written by S7fate

History:
Originally founded by Corinthos , a descendant of Zeus, it became a trade hub of the ancient world. When it was founded again in the crossroads, it became impoverished until the leadership change. Originally under control by Pericles, it was lost to Gorgos during the war of Radiance and Necromancy. Few people were aware, but while everyone was focusing on the sea, the mayor pledged his loyalty to Gorgos. This is viewed a major slight against Pericles, and though he tried to take it back, he failed to do so. The Aegean King, agreed to surrender the control of one his cities, which wanted to join his empire. Therefore, the Olive Branch treaty was signed, and the City of Andros was released to Pericles in exchange for Corinth. The Aegean King’s soon to be wife, was not pleased with the Treaty, but she gained a lot with Corinth. The Aegean King wished that this treaty would help build diplomacy and commerce between the two nations, but it is still rocky at best.
