{{ :nations:flags:ma_phaeacia.png?nolink|}} ====== MA Phaeacia, Isle of the Dark Ships ====== ===== Lore ===== //"Phaeacia is an island nation inspired by its namesake in the Odyssey, the enchanted isle ruled by Alcinous. Imagine palaces of gleaming bronze, with golden gates guarded by dogs of gold and silver. In enchanted gardens filled with fantastic trees, fountains and marble statues, wise men entertain their queen with song and poetry. In a city of marble craftsmen and weavers of unequaled skill make trade goods and silk garments famed throughout the world. \\ \\ When I worked on Mekone and Phlegra, ideas popped up that were too interesting to be ignored. In one of my Ars Magica TTRPG campaigns the players were lost at sea during a storm and arrived at an enchanted island colony of surviving Phoenician Ba’al worshipers, blessed with longevity. The Ulysses tale combined with my TTRPG campaign and previous ideas on Berytos resulted in the new island nation. Phaeacia is one of the nations where my imagination runs wild, probably due to the fact that it is influenced by several sources, including my own TTRPG setting. Finally, the nation needed some new mechanics, sites and events to become what I wanted. The dark vessels and the island start, make the nation play differently than other nations and I hope that they are reasonably balanced in MP games."// - Illwinter Phaeacia is an island queendom of dark-skinned men of great stature, the Colossi. Their fabled Dark Ships traverse the seas without oars or captains. Once a colony of Berytos, the island flourished and became rich and influential, known for its traders, craftsmen and marvelous shipwrights. When Berytos was destroyed by the armies of Arcoscephale the island of Phaeacia was able to stave off the conquerors thanks to ample tributes and its remote location. The queendom has since grown in power and influence. Their traders and explorers have traveled to the far reaches of the world and brought one of the world's greatest marvels back to Phaeacia, a sapling of the golden tree of the blessed gardens of the Hesperides. Now most inhabitants of Phaeacia live unnaturally long and blissful lives detached from the strife of the world beyond their island. Phaeacia is also the home of giants descendant of Mekone. When the Gigantes’ futile war upon gods came to a disastrous end, the Gigantes that did not join the armies of the God-slayer fled to Black Korkyra, an inhospitable island of the Phaeacian archipelago. The king of the Gigantes married the Colossi queen of Phaeacia and their daughters have ruled the island ever since. Most nobles of the island trace a legacy to the Berytian Colossi as well as to the Gigantes of Mekone. There are also a few of the pure blooded Gigantes remaining on Black Korkyra. Upholding the old bargain they arrive each spring to pledge the queen their allegiance. They are not cursed as their Phlegran kin and retain some of their former glory. ===== General Overview ===== If you are considering picking this nation to play, what should you know? ===== National Features ===== ^ Magic Access ^ Alt.

(1 in 4) starts at the key path for {{:misc:magic:water.png?15&nolink}}Water but has no useful crosspaths. === Earth === {{path>E1}} ??Prince Consort?? (1 in 4) needs a level of empowerment to get to the first {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth booster. It's technically possible to get to {{path>A4E4}} for a ??Staff of Elemental Mastery#82?? but requires hard to get boosters. === Astral === {{path>S2}} ??Colossi Queen?? (1 in 4) can attempt the unique ??Tome of High Power?? and, with boosters, the unique ??The Trapped Dreams of Hruvur??. {{path>F3S1}} can ??Contact Hesperide?? for a {{path>S3}}. With boosters, it can attempt the unique ??The Forbidden Light??. === Death === **No National Access.** No simple summons. === Nature === **No Recruitable Access.** The hero, ??Melite - Aegaeide??, has {{path>N3}} but no useful crosspaths. {{path>F3S1}} can ??Contact Hesperide?? for a {{path>N2}}, which can, with a {{:misc:magic:nature.png?15&nolink}}Nature booster, make a ??Moonvine Bracelet??. === Glamour === {{path>G2}} ??Colossi Queen?? (1 in 4) still needs a level of empowerment to make a {{:misc:magic:glamour.png?15&nolink}}Glamour booster, but then, with boosters can attempt the unique ??The Trapped Dreams of Hruvur??. The ??Prince Consort?? seems like it might be helpful, but isn't likely to have {{:misc:magic:glamour.png?15&nolink}}Glamour and {{:misc:magic:earth.png?15&nolink}}Earth at the same time. === Blood === **No National Access.** No simple summons. ===== Strategy ===== How to win as the nation.
