Aretophiles

Summary
Aretophiles is a relatively small country located on a mountainous peninsula in the Middle Sea. The people of Aretophiles are known as Tophites, and have a reputation for being foolhardy yet ferociously loyal. The central and southern regions are known to be semi-arid, with more Mediterranean climates towards the north. Because of this, agriculture could at times be difficult, but stays well supplied due to maintaining close political and economic ties with its two neighbors: Maq'lavoon to the southwest, and Errazol to the south and southeast. Aretophiles partially divides the Middle Sea from the Sea of Monsters, to the west and east respectively. To the north across a fairly narrow strait lies Levicardos, who opposes Aretophiles in the ongoing Century War.
