Oinos

Oinos is a vital fortified outpost on the edge of the Peloponnesian border. It serves as a crucial resupply point for hoplites and merchants crossing the vast sun-scorched plains. The architecture is primarily white-washed stone with terracotta roofs. Dust is a constant companion here, kicked up by the steady stream of carts. Despite its remote nature, it hums with the energy of a crossroads where news and goods are exchanged before the long trek ahead.
