 Has Erytheia benefited from the collapse of the Middle Age world? Yes, but whether or not it can sustain its good fortunes is another story. The Humans are locked from positions of influence, the Tritons have been more-or-less forgotten by the surface-dwellers (though they're eager to serve the King if it means he'll visit them), and only one family is good enough for the royal family to marry into. On the other hand, the merging of the two worlds has led to interesting new technologies, and the Red Land's Magic is quite powerful on a good day. Has Erytheia benefited from the collapse of the Middle Age world?

 +In case you're wondering if Erytheia was a label for an actual place, it wasn't //exactly//; various portions of the Indian Ocean have been referred to as the **[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erythraean_Sea|Erythrean Sea]]** (with Erythrea //also// meaning "red"), and the Red Sea inherited that label in modern times. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eritrea|Eritrea]] was named after the Erythrean Sea, too, as a colonial nation.

 Erytheia is essentially the [[atlantis-la|LA Atlantis]] for the Pelagia line: it is a land nation that would like to get back into the water. Although Erytheia has better off-cap land mages while Atlantis has proportionally better troops, the premise is largely the same. Erytheia is more akin to a water nation that starts on land, in fact, as most of its good units and mages can only be recruited underwater or on coasts. Erytheia is essentially the [[atlantis-la|LA Atlantis]] for the Pelagia line: it is a land nation that would like to get back into the water.
