Hyperion

"Lux et Libertas" - Motto of House Hyperion, meaning "Light and Liberty" in Latin.

Hyperion is a city located on an island off the southern coast of the Grand Republic of Oceanum, a region of The Forge.

History
Hyperion was originally founded by settlers from Republica Maximus. When the Grand Republic of Oceanum emerged from the ashes of The Union of Freeport, Hyperion joined the rising power. The city now contains elements of both the classical culture and architecture of its original founders, as well as the medieval culture and architecture of its current nation.

During the Realm of Fire Rebellion, Hyperion braced for an invasion that never came. Instead, the majority of the fighting happened around the Grand Republic of Oceanum's capital of Valrusia, where some Hyperionic forces helped to mount an unsuccessful defense of the city.

Military
"Rage ad Portas" - rallying cry of the Hyperionic Legions, meaning "Rage at the Gates" in Latin.

Hyperion does not have a standing professional army, instead relying on the militaries of the Grand Republic of Oceanum and The Forge for protection. If called upon by either entity, however, the citizens of Hyperion can be assembled into a militia force.

Fort Eos
Fort Eos, named for the goddess of the dawn, guards the entrance to Hyperion.
