− | + | ''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?'' | 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.

It was a gift from her parents upon reaching adulthood, both to encourage and enable her path as a warrior.

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. | The same goes for the armor and shield, really.
