A naval power with tiered citizenship — Hanno's homeland, where your place in society is determined by your caste and the sea is both border and identity.
Ashur is a thalassocracy — a government defined by naval power. It has a tiered citizenship system where social status determines rights and opportunities. Hanno grew up as a miner's son in the lower tiers, which informed his later relationship with Judgment: the appeal of a divine authority that doesn't care about social caste. Ashur allied with the Grand Alliance against the Dead King, providing naval capabilities that land powers like Procer and Callow couldn't match.
A maritime nation — harbors, warships, the architecture of a civilization built around the sea. Ashur's cities face outward toward the water, which tells you where their ambitions lie.
Also known as: Ashur, Thalassocracy of Ashur
