Iconia

Iconia was a city state that rose to prominence after leading city states in rebelling against Scientios in 1002 SD. Afterwards it was considered the most powerful of The Big Three, and was the second most populous city in The North after Corinth. After the rise of Periclon the Bloody in 1249, Iconia began to amass territories by promising protection to smaller city states, and later going so far as to bully city states into accepting protection. When they outright attacked Argos, the North was thrown into a frenzy that was known as the Iconian War, which lasted thirty years (1254 - 1287), ending when the small city state of Athenios sacked Iconia in the winter of 1287.
