We, the Cretans of Gortyn, have played a substantial role in the advancement of civilization on our blessed island. We created the famous Gortyn Law Code, which ensures the rights of our citizens, their limitations, and their responsibilities towards their families. This ensures that our citizens are disciplined and fair, and as a result, great citizens make great cities! We were the ones who gave birth to the idea of Cretan unification in order to deal with external threats, as demonstrated by our alliance with Hierapydna. King Areios of Sparta stands at our side, and Magas of Kyrene is our trusted friend. As a result, we are respected by many Greeks outside of Crete, including the Achaians and the Pergamene. However, our main focus remains Crete itself.
We envision a Gortynian Crete, where all will flourish as proper citizens, under our command. Our superior Gortyn Laws should be spread to every corner of Crete, just as Talos once roamed the entire island. Once we unify Crete and remove all foreign invaders, we can once again focus on expanding across the Aegean Sea! We can regain control of the trade routes, as we once did, and master a force of thousands of Cretans to spread our proper laws throughout Hellas. This will uproot the evil that divides us and makes us fight each other. Only then can people live in peace... a Gortynian peace!
