Coroth
# Overview
Coroth was a Morellic city state and civilisation founded in the Neolithic Era. The land of Coroth was situated in the continental forests of southern Tseireph, to the east of Sarvara. Coroth would go on to be succeeded by the Empire of the Petrified Child.
# History
Coroth was founded in the late Neolithic period (between 5,700 - 3,200 BS1) by the eponymous early Morellic tribe known at the time as the ‘Kyuludh,’ or ‘blue-eyed,’ named for the mutation in blue eye colour seen in the tribe’s membership.
After the Fall of Sarvara, Coroth would go on to become the greatest power then-seen in all of Tseireph. With the advent of the iron age, a Corothic general known as The Elephant (or Elephant I) would found the Empire of the Petrified Child, annexing the remnants of the Sarvaran empire.
# Exports
Coroth’s main export was Corothic blue, a pigment used in artwork and dyeing, which was extracted from the native Water Dragons of the river Coroth, a tributary of the river Sarav. Coroth also pioneered the agriculture and trade of fruits and berries, contrasting Sarvara’s industry of Lunuth Wheat, and Aqhor’s of Sweetrice.
