Scyras
The City state that contains the majority of Helathen’s most southern point is a Naval force constantly on the move and always keeping an eye out for attack. If it doesn’t come from the Ordening Isles, or Korbal, it might come from somewhere. This Paranoia drives Scyras, and is probably what keeps it safe. The Leader of Scyras is chosen as a figure who is a master naval combatant, and has no less than a decade of naval experience. They are often an elderly figure for this reason.

Fortifications
All of the Sea around Scyras are patrolled by a tightly organized Crew, their movement patterns often changed up and made so they cannot be noted for those wishing to invade. The sea walls around the city and along the very borders play home to siege weapons, more and more of them being adapted into gunpowder weapons.
The Land Border is maintained and guarded by off sea-duty soldiers, keeping an eye out for their neighbors.

Military
The Military forces of Scyras are made of, so they claim, willing enlisters, who join the ranks as a Naphtis. Members of families will often join up as a chance to provide better for their family, as well as defend their homeland.
Religion
While the Great Hellanic Pantheon is observed, a great amount of worship being given to Theilas, Goddess of the Sea and Earthquakes. Worship for Vateos, God of the Underworld, and Kalatos, God of Death of the Lesser Hellanic Pantheon, has been substantial over the past few centuries and given their states paranoia over attack, a healthy understanding of Death has grown through the populace.
