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 that prepare them for years-long service in the city's military. 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]]
