Astrea

The southern peninsula of the region is known for a militaristic and dare I say, spartan, culture. Each citizen, man or woman, is trained from birth as a warrior. The system is still heavily patriarchal though, and women’s place in the military is strictly one of defense over their territory. Anyone who would consider invading the country should anticipate every man, woman, and child to be a fully trained soldier capable of defending their homeland tooth and nail. Ruled by a senate, all of whom are expert warriors in their own right, a warrior czar seeks to expand their territory with the help of several ancient magical artifacts. In fact, the area is one of the only large territories controlled without the help of a country-level Walking God, though a powerful city-level storm giant defends the capital. This nation's name is Astrea.
