	This state is a true city state, the biggest and richest in the region. It is full of intellectuals, heathen priests, & merchants, with no morality and more temples than anywhere else. Their patron God is of Wisdom & War. Destinians, Lunatics, Arabie traders, and other scum are welcomed. A man is valued by his skill in rhetoric and his wealth. Women are not valued. As you'd suspect it's a democracy ~~â€“~~ which means that the 1000 local older male land owners run everything to suit themselves. They even have their own oracle, for when the Oracle at Dolphins has bad news.		This state is a true city state, the biggest and richest in the region.

An collection of coastal city states to the east of the [[Islands of Adventure]], South of the [[Lunar Empire]] and North of [[Arabie]].

==Politics==
The various city states are near-continuously at war with each other. Not only are the people very competitive and aggressive, but each city states has one or more patron gods, and their rulers tend to be demi-gods or at least not quite mortal. They are semi-regularly attacked by the Lunar Empire, but their awesome warriors, demi-god leaders, and active Gods tend to repel most invaders, as do their social customs.

===Map===
<table border=1><tr><td>[[Image:HellenicStates.gif|500px]]</td></tr></table>

===Crisis===
This is the northern-most state, and its position on the mainland just south of the Lunar Empire may well be the cause of its name - any message from this state tends to be titled 'Crisis'. Inland from here is the mystical oracle at Dolphins, and a daily cloud service runs between Crisis and Dolphins.
;Towns
:1. Cyrrha
:2. '''Crisis'''
:90. Dolphins

===The Sealed Coast===
This collection of small towns in the foothills was once a string of rich sea ports, until an angry Ocean God sealed them away from the sea by raising the land.
;Towns
:3. Anemorea
:4. Daulis
:5. All-Viewing
:6. Crowtown
:7. Thisbe
:8. Divinely sounding
:9. Eutresis
:10. Flats.

===Clubman===
This rich trading state holds the key peninsula on the island that leads to the mainland, as well as controlling the straits and several key harbours. The King & Queen here are nice, but watch out for '''Bodyguard ''', an ancient sorcerous warrior elf who has decided to bodyguard them for fun.
;Towns
:21. Skid
:22. '''Tower Hill'''
:23. Cucumber
:24. Hyperesia
:25. Willow
:26. Goat-place

===Bouprasium & Elis===
Small rural city states, whose King & Queen traditionally marry each other, hence the two capitals.
; Towns
:30. Olenus
:31. Myrsinus
:32. '''Beehivesâ€™ Murmur'''
:33. Thryn
:34. '''Pisa'''

===The Gate===
The traditional first landfall when arriving at the Ellenic states, these daring traders have been known to deal with the Lunar empire to sell their freshly caught slaves. There is a Siren (powerful fae mermaid) off the coast.
;Towns
:40. Dorium
:41. Cyparisseeis
:42. '''The Gate'''
:43. Bounder
:44. Pherae
:45. Hire
:46. Enope
:47. Cardamyle

===The Silent Kingdom===
These people are violent, misogynistic, xenophobic slave-takers, and thatâ€™s by local standards. Their warriors are feared, but their population is small; perhaps relating to their notion of child care including abandoning babies on the hill-side, and those that survive the wolves have to crawl back to the city.
; Towns
:51. Doomed Place
:52. Las
:53. Beacons
:54. Helos
:55. Pharis
:56. Amyclae
:57. '''Rope Makers City'''

===The Bright Land===
This city state is more cheery than most, with bright dyes and large feasts. It helps if you save them all from pirates too. However, theyâ€™ll still slaughter you in your sleep, same as any other Ellenics.
; Towns
:60. Lerna
:61. '''Bright City'''

:71. Mystery

:73. '''Thought'''

===Cowland===
This poor, rustic inland city state survives due to the value of its herds, and its indomitable King Oed, demi-God and occasional employer of Adventurers.
; Towns
:80. '''Thebes'''
:81. Red cliffs
:82. Strength in battle
