Locris

A Land based City State, bordering Rezhpol and the Kanera region, drives a lot of their highly militant behaviour. They are one of the many City States who have taken it upon themselves to stand as a bulwark against prospective invasion forces.
The Leader of Locris is chosen from Military stock, and must undergo The Triadok. Those who are successful and rise victorious may take their seat as Stratigos of Locris.

Fortifications
With a shifting border with Rezhpol, a slight corridor border with Vliegenier and a city state borders with Boetia and Arkadia, Locris has a great many watch towers and fortifications built up to prevent passing into their territory. The Border between Locris and Rezhpol has shifted over the years, but their current state have been held by Rezhpol. Locris appears to be waiting to push back. A similar state of affairs occurs with Boetia.

Religion

While the Great Hellanic Pantheon is observed, a great deal of worship is given to Parnoke, God of Victory and Protection. Worship for Parnoke is brought on through their constant conflict with Rezhpol. It's often assumed that Parnoke was a god brought in through outsiders and quietly enveloped into their Lesser Pantheon.
Reverence is also given to Chygoura, in their praise and hope that her good fortune will ensure their continued victory.

Legislative Body
All laws, rules and matters of state are carried out by a Council of Military individuals in the Stratósterion. Locris' Council consists of nine Taxiarhos, led by a single Stratigos. This council deals with major matters that regard to the state, with the Stratigos always having the final say. All other matters are dealt with by the leaders of the various towns and cities under Locris' domain. They meet frequently, the exact frequency dependant on necessity for the State.
The Taxiarhos of Locris are:
  • Taxiarhos Theren Apokaukos of Locris (Wood Elf, Male)
  • Taxiarhos Patroklos Scala of Locris (Centaur, Male)
  • Taxiarhos Ariadne Lekapenos of Skyros (Minotaur, Female)
  • Taxiarhos Pallas Samaras of Skyros (Hobgoblin, Male)
  • Taxiarhos Darrak Balaska of Chalcis (Dwarf, Male)
  • Taxiarhos Isa Thanos of Chalcis (Lizardfolk, Agender)
  • Taxiarhos Philandros Rosi of Keos (Aarakocra, Male)
  • Taxiarhos Damazo Stefano of Mende (Minotaur, Male)
  • Taxiarhos Niobe Voulgaro of Mende (Leonin, Female)
Judicial Body
As a militant city state, the day to day dealings of the law are maintained by Hoplite and Lokhagos not currently on active duty. In extreme cases of warfare, Polis can be invested with judical power to maintain the application of the law.
In judical matters, all items are judged by the most senior officer available - normally a Tagmatarkhis.
