more SADEMONI
As development of culture and trade pushed forward in Sademon several major influences begun to take a hold on the city.
The first major influence came from the west. Tyravusi traders quickly arrived in Sicily, buying diffrent foods and luxury goods and selling their own, Sademoni became a trade hub quickly mostly thanks to the Tyravusi hunger for foods that aren't related to the sea. Meat bought from the eastern cultures was sold to the western one. With the traders, as usual, came culture. The extremely closed minded religion of the Tyravusi was seen with two colors among the Sademoni. While the myths and gods were quickly adopted, the closed minded ideals were usually left behind. The Father of the sea quickly became the first major statewide god in Sademon and was the first to be declared as a god of all families. The devout Tyravusi did not see the semi-acceptance of their culture in a nice eye, but for now they had to deal with it. Sademon as a city-state was growing further (obviously in Sademon eyes) than Tyravus if only thanks to the cultural acceptance and much more central location.
Around the time when mother earth was showing major acceptance in Sademon a second culture striked hard. The traders of Hanakai brought many new resources and a vast new warehouse of cultural goods. Their god of life "Elexia" was united with the mother of hearth from the Tyravusi. A goddess of fertility, farming and life was accepted as the second major deity in Sademon, and she was also actually the first to receive a major temple in the center of the growing trade city. Many came to see the palace, among them many from Hanakai. Immigrants from the far away city state harbor, usually merchants that lived in both cities at times, brought with them a certain taste for the ideal of classes. While Sademon already went through a major civil unrest when the city dwellers and merchants defeated the farming communities a new one was always looming over the horizon with the merchant class quickly outgrowing the rest in pure economic power while the other hard working (luxury makers usually, who sold their wares to the merchants who sold them out in the world) citizens grew vastly in numbers and military power. While the citizens manned themselves with weapons the merchants were always on the look for outsiders to hire for protection.
All while this went by more and more influences arrived from nearby and far away. Merchant ships hired by the merchants from Tyravus, Hanakai and in vastly growing numbers from among the Raka found trade everyone. The cultures of the east had less of a striking hit into Sademon, perhaps from sheer distance but new schools of philosophy were constantly opening with every passing year. Raka influence brought Sdhedleva the daughter goddess of beauty, art, music and luxuries. It also brought in the quickly growing schools of music - both by mouth and by tools of the art.
The growing population of Raka marines in Sademon brought the city to its final destination. The population was booming beyond belief. The city had no more room for new people, yet more arrived. The number of merchants became a bit too high and competition slowly ate through their cash. The citizens begun to feel the lack of food, and rising food prices strengthened the lonely farmers, but also created a distaste for them.
Nearly 2000 years after the Sademoni tribe first begun to farm and nearly 500 years since the merchant-citizen won the class war and made the city of Sademon begin to grow from the village it used to be, slowly, but surely, the city has reached the tipping point. Whatever the Sademoni do from now will influence history forever and will spell victory or doom for the city state.
