Miletos

Capital Miletos Castle Continent Jugdral

“	His army passed through the Miletos District, a independent region which had built up a sizable fortune through trade. However, all that remained was a region dying out under the empire and Loptrians' rule.	”	— Opening narration of Chapter 10

Miletos (Japanese: ミレトス Miletos) is an independent nation of Jugdral located in the continent's south, bordered to the east by Thracia, the Munster District and the Aed Desert, and separated from Grannvale to the north by the Miletos Channel. Along with Verdane, it is one of two nations of Jugdral to not be founded by any of the Twelve Crusaders.

History

During the era of the Loptrian Empire, in the year Grann 452, an event known as the "Sorrow of Miletos" occurred in which children were sacrificed in droves to the Empire's dark lord, Loptous; this event may have been the origin of the wider child hunt practice of the Loptrian religion.

Little is otherwise known of the history of Miletos prior to Grannvale's occupation of it following the Battle of Belhalla, other than that the nation was once wealthy, prosperous and a prominent center of Jugdrali commerce. Following Arvis's ascension to the Grannvale throne and reorganization of the nation into the Grannvale Empire, Miletos was annexed by the Grannvale army and placed under the rule of Duchess Hilda of Friege, who was appointed "Queen of Miletos". Under her reign, Miletos was one of the regions of Jugdral worst afflicted by the child hunts, with the occupation army also being forced to participate despite their wishes. Their fortunes changed with the arrival of Seliph and his liberation army in Grann 777, who drove the Grannvale and Loptrian occupations out of Miletos en route to his homeland, Chalphy.
