Tylis
Tylis was part of the great Celtic horde that stormed into Greece at the beginning of the 3rd century BC. Despite some early successes, Antigonus Gonatas and the Aetolian League finally defeated and pushed them back. The remaining horde migrated to neighbouring Thrace, founding a base at Tylis. Although it has survived by raiding, now Tylis stands poised to achieve much more. All around it are highly-aggressive Thracian tribes who must be shown that their new Celtic neighbours are here to stay!
