![[calradia banner 2 1.png|]] [[Myzea]] gives its name to the [[Myzeiad]], the rich hill country of the east-central empire. This region is the old stomping grounds of the senator [[Litos]], who brought the [[Palaic]] tribes here into the [[Calradian-Empire]] relatively peacefully by offering them protection against raiders from the steppes. When he fell afoul of his rivals in the [[Senate]], however, he tried to organize them into a rival 'barbarian' republic modelled on the ancient Calradian version. The Empire snuffed it out, but the people here, now thoroughly Calradicized, still harbor an attachment to the old republican system and its partisans. Gaos Gaos sits in a broad valley in the Myzead, the hill country in the east of the empire. Nomadic herders once occupied this land, and the village's name is taken from their word for cattle.
