From birth, the people of Hieron are raised to become some of the world’s greatest soldiers. Once a Hieronian celebrates their 15th name day, they are put through a series of dangerous and brutal trials and if they survive they must serve in the city’s military until the age of 22. War is everything in Hieron, and as one might expect the Hieronians have battled with all of the [[Oenician Republics|Republics]] at some point in history. Yet despite this violent reputation, many still travel to the city to spectate the Great Arena, where gladiators face off against [[Men|men]], beasts, and even [[monsters]] in legendary battles. - **Native Language:** [[Languages|Cydian]]
