====Berytos, Phaeacia====
The people of Berytos are the descendants of a civilization created by the Telchines, titanic storm demons defeated by a previous Pantokrator. The Telchines taught shipbuilding, sailing and metalcrafting to the human ancestors of Berytos. When the Telchines were defeated, the humans fled to the sea, led by the Storm Callers, disciples of the Telchines. With the knowledge of ironcrafting and the magical might of the Storm Callers, new colonies were founded on distant shores. Like a phoenix, the dying empire was reborn. But the Telchine gods were dead and the humans sought divine leadership. They found the Melqarts of Hinnom. One of the colonies was situated near Ashdod and the bloody cult of the Melqarts soon spread through the Phoenix Empire. In the capital colony of Berytos, a great temple to the Melqarts was built. But soon another power found its way into the cult. Refugee Colossi, great men of the Machakan royal family, arrived in Berytos and established themselves as rulers of the bloody cult. Their sorceresses claimed divinity and called themselves Brides-in-Waiting. Now Berytos is a seafaring people led by sorcerer queens from the great temple in Berytos, and ruled by King Ba'al Hammon of the Melqarts and Queen Makelo, one of the three remaining Telchines.

In Middle Age, Berytos is pawned by Arcoscephale and Phaeacia is founded by surviving Machakan Lion Men and refugees from both Berytos and Mekone. An Island kingdom, it's a crazy gameplay with Phaeacia as your God's dominion freespawns magical black ships that transport all units across seas as long as the majority of a region believes in you, letting you conquer EVERY shore in a year if you build underwater temples at shores as well. Pirate Carthaginians married to giant Africans who eat immortality apples and use magical linen armor strong as chainmail. It's as fun as it sounds.
