DevDiary 1: The Caucasus


Welcome to our first DevDiary! As said, we were working on the region just south of the Caucasus mountains last week. While this region was of relatively small significance during the wars of the Diadochi, it would later become more important as the power of the Kingdom of Armenia grew.

Let's take a look at some of the new characters:


Neoptolemos
Neoptolemos is a member of the epirote Aeacid dynasty. He is the Alexandrian satrap of Armenia. Historically, he would join Antipatros and Krateros in their war against Perdikkas. He joined forces with Krateros and attack Eumenes. In the resulting battle, both Krateros and Neoptolemos died.

Mihran
Mihran(also known as Mithrenes) is an Armenian vassal of Neoptolemos. He was the Alexandrian satrap of Armenia until it was awarded to Neoptolemos at the Partition of Babylon. He is a descendant of the proud family of the Yervanduni(Orontids). Perhaps he can reclaim his Satrapy and one day, become an independent king!

Aku
Aku is the Georgian king of Kolkheti(Colchis). Little is known of him and the only information we've got comes from a coin.

Azo
Azo is the Georgian king of Iberia. Medieval texts report that Alexander sent him with an army to conquer Iberia, but this cannot be verified. It is known, however that he was driven from Iberia and killed by Parnavazi.

Parnavazi
Parnavazi(also known as Pharnavaz) is a vassal of Azo in 323 BC. He is 3 years old at that time. Azo destroyed his family and clearly Parnavazi wants revenge. Historically, he would kill Azo and take Iberia for himself in 302 BC. He would conquer large parts of Kolkheti(Colchis) too.

Aturpat
Aturpat(also known as Atropates) is the Alexandrian satrap of Northern Media(Media was divided as it was too big to be held by one man). He had been in command of all of Media before Alexander died, but at the Partition of Babylon, the larger southern part of Media was given to Peithon. Later in his life, Aturpat would refuse to pay allegiance to Seleukos and made his Satrapy an independent kingdom that lasted for more than 5 centuries.
