Athenia is one of the three indigenous villages of the Trojan Valley, which was subject to an armed struggle between the City-State of Kitania and the Lacledic Republic before the Free State of Kitania's invasion of the valley. The two powers often fought for control over Athenia as part of their campaign to secure control over the entire valley, however now the City-State of Kitania seeks to defend the village, along with the rest of the valley, from an invasion by the Free State of Kitania.

Background

Athenia is a mining village located at the northeast of the Trojan Valley. Its inhabitants survive through mining rocks and minerals off the nearby rocky cliffs and reside in small dwellings within the village. They are led by Mayor Exus, who can be found in the Village Hall. To the southwest is the farming village of Trojan Village and to the far southwest is the hunting village of Cyprus.

As with the other indigenous villages of Trojan Valley, life for the residents of Athenia was quiet before the emergence of the City-State of Kitania and Lacledic Republic, both of whom set claim to the valley and built their forts on opposing sides of the valley. As the two states battled for the valley's control, each attempted to capture Athenia, alongside the other villages, which were occupied by the troops of whichever side was controlling the valley at the moment.

As the village closest to the Kitanian settlement at Northwatch, Athenia was usually the first village captured by advancing Kitanian troops at the beginning of a battle, while Lacledic troops sought the village to aid in their offensive on Northwatch.

Since the invasion of the Free State of Kitania into the Trojan Valley and the retreat of the Lacledic Republic, Athenia is now a point of contention between Kitanian and Free Kitanian troops, as Free Kitanian troops seek to take control of the villages before advancing northward into the Kitanian settlement of Northwatch.
