Phoenicia is an ancient city located in the Western parts of Rumeliana. This city did not fall for more than 3000 years however in the end Balt-Rhein's attack successful conquered the city. Its last Caesar before taken over was Apollodorus.
The city was once the capital of a gigantic empire that dominated a large part of the Roumelian continent. Phoenicians are still very proud and attached to their imperial past, and the way their empire was organised, radically different from that of the Balt-Rhein empire, made relations between Phoenicia and Balt-Rhein tense.
Defensive System[]
The city was surrounded by giant walls built from a material known as 'Phoenix Earth', a material that once solidified became extremely strong and virtually indestructible. The city was completely surrounded by these immense ramparts, which were totally impregnable and had a vast shrine used to close off the only major entrance used to bring ships into the port.
One side of the city to the north-west was protected by the 'crystal cliffs', large rock formations of which the walls surrounding the city were an artificial extension. In addition, part of these cliffs was bordered, to the north-west overlooking an estuary, by several powerful whirlpools making navigation impossible in this area, and the cliffs were deemed too steep to be crossed.
