=======  LA Erytheia, Kingdom of Two Worlds  ======= 

===== Lore =====
//"Erytheia is the late era development of Pelagia. It is a nation heavily inspired by Ptolemaic Egypt. Like Ptolemaic Egypt, it is a nation of foreign conquerors adopting local traditions forming an isolated kingdom desperate to keep its royal blood lines and avoid foreign influence. I wanted the Ptolemaic practices of royal sibling marriages represented in the game and this led to some new mechanics developed for Erytheia. I also wanted Erytheia to be more of a contender for the closed realm, Pelagia's name for dry land. The idea of a merman kingdom of both worlds started to take form when I worked on the Dominions 4 UW-patch. The pairing with Ptolemaic concepts fit well and Erytheia became a nation quite different in feel from previous underwater nations."// - Illwinter \\ \\
Erytheia, Greek for "the red one", takes its name from one of the three Hesperides (Greek Nymphs of the setting sun). It's the name of the Red Land, an idyllic place where the sunset strikes its river with an exquisite red color. While [[arcoscephale-ma|Arcoscephale]] held the Land at first, it later became the site of a prosperous [[pelagia-ma|Pelagian]] colony of Mermen, strange amphibious humanoids who trade their fish tails in for legs when they reach dry land. Eventually the Old Kingdom of Arcoscephale collapsed into an ([[arcoscephale-la|until-recently]]) ineffectual heap, and the Merman colony united with the Human colony through the marriage of their governors. \\

Merman Erytheia was still nominally a part of the Triton Kingdom of Pelagia, however, until a curse was laid upon the sea. The Tritons are a strong race, but they are unable to breathe air. Pelagia was in a part of the ocean that had been relatively-unaffected by catastrophes thus far, and even benefited from crises that [[atlantis-ea|staggered]] or outright [[r-lyeh-ea|crushed]] their rivals, so their lack of flexibility was a political and economic nuisance at worst. But then came a disaster beyond our understanding of [[r-lyeh-la|physics and reality]], one that Pelagia itself only witnessed through its mighty Kings and much of its population falling to an endless sleep. Those still awake broke the Kingdom as they disagreed upon how to go on, and many Tritons and Mermen decided to turn to Erytheia for stability. The former colony had thus become a "Kingdom of Two Worlds" -- that of the Surface, and that of the Sea. \\ \\
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.

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.
===== General Overview =====
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 notable for its mages, the best of which have a high degree of randomness and can form powerful and balanced [[communions]].

=== The King and Queen ===

Erytheia starts with no King or Queen. Your first ??Prince of the Setting Sun?? will be promptly coronated to a **??King of Both Worlds??** in the capital, giving him a +{{path>H1}} pathboost, 120 base Leadership (as opposed to 80), and an additional point of [[Awe]] in sunlight. The King must then be married to a ??Princess of the Setting Sun?? in the same province, who will get the exact same bonuses when she becomes the **??Queen of Land and Water??**; otherwise, your capital will periodically generate [[Unrest]]. The marriage ceremony also comes with significant gifts, such as a decent amount of Gold. You can do this in reverse order, by the way, getting the Queen first (by hiring a Princess first) and then moving a Prince to her location to get the King.

Since there can only be one King and one Queen at a time, the King and his Princes (as well as the Queen and her Princesses) hate each other; if two Princes (or two Princesses) are in the same province [[turn-order|when Random Events happen]], one may assassinate/execute the other. This can also happen between the King and a Prince, and between the Queen and a Princess.

Their paths are even more random than of the Daduchoi who train them.

There's three options, with one of them being less likely. \\ \\ For the Prince: 6% {{path>F3}} and {{path>S3}}, and 2% {{path>W3}}.   \\ \\   For the Princess: 6% {{path>F3}} and {{path>W3}}, and 2% {{path>E3}}. \\ \\ They can gain two or all three of these paths at the same time, but that is extremely unreliable. The ??Pearl Mage#3038?? can much more reliably get {{path>W3}}, albeit with fewer crosspaths.  \\ \\ Chance of {{path>E2}} for the Princess is 15%, or 8% {{path>A2}}. The Prince has 8% for both. The Daduchoi are faster to recruit in case you wish to gamble for a mage with these paths. \\ \\ The nobility serve as good leaders to your troops, but if there is one thing worse than an important mage disobeying your orders, it's having them do that while also forcing an entire army to stop. In other words: if you use them as leaders, have other leaders ready to take over the troops. Then you can move on while leaving the insane prince/princess behind.  |

==== National Spells ====

FIXME**national spell or summon** cost and usecase, judgment if it's good.


**??Pride of Lions??**: Conj 3 {{gems>10N}}, {{path>N2}}({{:nations:ma:phaeacia:great_lion.png?30&nolink}} ??Great Lion??x10+) Fast animal chaff with two high damage attacks. Erytheia rarely has nature gems or mages on land to spare for these.

**??Summon Hound of Twilight??** Conjure 5, {{path>E2D1}} {{gems>4E}}, ({{:nations:ea:mekone:hound_of_twilight.png?nolink}} ??Hound of Twilight??x1) A big [[Fear]] monster with a [[Patrol]] bonus of 20. Cheap for an Empowered {{path>E2}} in death to spam and remove your fort's unrest. Decent patroller.

**??Summon Hekateride??** Conj5 {{path>N3W1}} {{gems>30N}}. ({{:nations:ma:pelagia:Hekateride.png?nolink}} ??Hekateride??x1) the amphibious sister of the ??Hesperide??. They can be summoned by one with a ??Thistle Mace?? and a single [[Empowerment]] in water, or by a ??Naiad?? summoned by a nature random ??Pearl Mage#3038??. Allows Erytheia climb higher in nature with {{path>N3}} or {{path>N4}} and an UW nature mage and ??Foul Vapors?? caster.

**??Contact Hesperide??** Conjure 6, {{path>F3S1}} {{gems>35F}}, (summon {{:nations:ma:phaeacia:Hesperide.png?nolink}} ??Hesperide??x1) A useful mage who not only removes a lot of Diseases and Unrest but also breaks you into Nature for rituals and communions. Gets level 3 in astral and fire in case gambling for randoms with princes and princesses didn't work out. Can forge ??Moonvine Bracelet??s.
 
**??Call Ladon??** Conjure 6, {{path>F3N2}} {{gems>15F}}, ({{:nations:ma:phaeacia:ladon.png?nolink}} ??Ladon - Drakon Hesperios??x1) Summon a big unique monster with a Hesperide. He may be decent(by the standards of a big monster commander with only head and misc slots), the real purpose is to keep him alive so your can get an event in the spring that has a good chance to gives you a ??Golden Apple??, a Decent morale booster and a way for important mages to remove 10 years when they get hold to increase their game relevance. 


**??Summon Daktyl??** Conj6 {{path>E3A1}} {{gems>30E}}. ({{:nations:ma:pelagia:Daktyl.png?nolink}} ??Daktyl??x1) A [[master smith]] dwarf. Doesn't always offer you anything new in terms of magic, but the Air random can forge up to {{path>A3}} and the Death random breaks you into the path, letting you summon the ??Hound of Twilight?? and even forge ??Skull Staff??s. The Earth randoms are also higher in the path than what you usually get without a lucky Princess. As for the remaining 2/5 Daktyls, gaining another level of Fire or Water does not make them special compared to your recruitable mages, aside from forging higher earth.

**??Craft Keledone??** Construction 7, {{path>E2S2}} {{gems>5E}}, (summon 1 {{:nations:ea:arcoscephale:keledone.png?nolink}} ??Keledone??) Situational, Summon a Hard to kill [[immobile]] communion slave in case a fort gets besieged.

**??Forge Brass Bull??** Construction 7, {{path>F3E3}} {{gems>30F}}, (summon a {{:nations:ea:mekone:khalkotauros.png?nolink}} ??Khalkotauros??) A big Hard to kill Trample monster that breaths fire. Often a Skip as that Research and gems could be used for thugging.

**??Sow Dragon Teeth??** Enchantment 6, {{path>E2}} {{gems>1E}}, ({{:nations:ea:mekone:spartae.png?nolink}} ??Spartae?? x10) [[Combat Summons]] for only 1 Earth [[Gem]], giving 10 hoplite [[magic being]]s with decent stats and magic gear.
