Subject: Countries: Asyrna

Asyrna is only a small city state. The main city of Asyrna houses about 4-5000 people. The surrounding land that claims fealty to Asyrna numbers around 10,000. The people are growers of grapes, and their chief industries are wine, wool, and stones. There are considerable rocky crags in and around Asyrna and these are treasured for their building properties. Marble is also located here.

The people live in a fairly warm climate. Their ideas pertaining to government revolves around a strange cult called Ponokuae and their King, who they kill in his fortieth year, sacrificing him to the gods to preserve their state in accordance with Ponokuan traditions.

They worship horses. They drink horse milk and bathe in wine at every harvest. They are distrustful of strangers. Those who are not members of the cult or the state are considered to be infidels and their deaths are considered to be worthy sacrifices.

They are also a strongly war-like people

(I see greek, assyrian, and babylonian overtones to these people) Almost bronze age sort of mentality...
