===Character Questions=== *''Corinthia, surrounded by Nemedia, Brythunia, Zamora, Koth, and Ophir, has ever-shifting borders from warfare and tension with its neighboring kingdoms. Mercenary opportunities are abundant as its four city-states (Magyar, Stregos, Krotoa, and Gorgothica) keep the more aggressive invaders at bay. There was no mercenary need for you to make the long journey south and west through Nemedia and Ophir to the coast of Argos, Metea. Yet the trail is soaked with blood. What lured you to the shining waters of the Western Ocean, an expanse of water you'd only heard rumor of in your youth?'' At the height of her career as a soldier, Metea took part in sacking a smaller trading city which was unable to pay its protection money. Or more likely just unwilling, because when the Gorgothican troops swarmed inside the villas of the merchants and rulers she found plenty of riches. She saw a lot of things unfamiliar to her which had come from afar. Silken garments, jewelry inlaid with pearls and coral, exotic spices, coins with strange shapes and imprints. It hit home just how narrow her world had been so far. And when most of he spoils went on to the general and her clique of besties, it also hit home that she really ought to earn something more than just glory and scraps. Oh she was well praised and compensated, make no mistake, but her shares of both paled in comparison to what she deserved (in her opinion anyway). So off we go to Argos! In many ways the crossroads of the world, where she'd be able to see much more wonderful things. *''The spear you wield. What is its tale? Is it a family heirloom, fashioned by you after your first kill, or taken from the corpse of a foe? Perhaps a lover or a captain gifted it to you?'' It was a gift from her parents upon reaching adulthood, both to encourage and enable her path as a warrior. It's not an ancient heirloom, it was at the time freshly forged and commissioned for the event. But it is of good, practical quality, its design having proven itself many times over in battle. The same goes for the armor and shield, really. I imagine her somewhat as a hoplite, except updated to contemporary materials and armor-crafting techniques. It'll cover a bit more but you can still discern the stylistic elements. She won't actually wear this armor all the time though. Only when really marching into battle. Her lighter brigandine can suffice in many situations.
