Kyrillos (ˈky.ril.los)

Kyrillos is a medium sized island in the Southeastern Region, a part of the Kaphtor Islands. The island is dominated by a dormant volcano, which has created a landscape of black sand beaches, rugged cliffs, and rocky outcroppings. The island is best known for its plentiful silver deposits, which have made the Lakonía Phylí who rule the island one of the wealthiest of all the Kaphtori phylai.

The Lakonía were not always the rulers of Kyrillos, but conquered the island about four hundred and fifty years ago. The island had traditionally been ruled by Télma Phylí, who lived there for generations uncounted before discovering the silver deposits in the mountains around Pelinaios. They had only begun to mine the silver when the Lakonía Phylí invaded, drawn by the rumors of riches. The Télma Phylí were enslaved by the conquerers, and while there have been multiple revolts in the centuries since, they have yet to oust the Lakoníans. The most recent rebellion was a generation past, and ended with a great slaughter of the Télmans that has become infamous throughout the region.

The largest settlement on the island is called Asími. It was a village before the silver was discovered, and has since grown into the island's major port. It is at the mouth of the Asiménio Potámi, a river that passes through the most productive mining area on its way to the sea, and much of the silver mined travels downstream to the city.
