Phokis is the newest district in Hellas. It is the mountainous heart of mainland Hellas, centered around Mount Parnassus, and is home to Delphi and the most important oracle in the ancient world.

Delphi

Delphi was the site of the famous oracle of Apollo. Greeks and many people from neighboring cultures would travel the length of the Mediterranean to visit the Pythia in her city on the rocky slopes of Mount Parnassus. Delphi is divided into two districts.

Delphi Village

Delphi Village is home to the many people who serve in the temple and work in all the many industries supporting it and the hundreds, if not thousands, of travelers who come every year to visit the oracle.

Cybelle Timoleon has built the Delphic Amphictyony I, but has yet to develop it.

Reylari Socrates has opened the Castalian Fountain, where you can cleanse yourself before entering the temple. You can learn about this important spring and also about the mysterious Blue Hole of Castalia, Ohio.

The Temple of Apollo

The Temple of Apollo is home to the Pythia, the famous oracle. Here you can take a quiz about the oracle or the extreme Apollo quiz. You can also consult the Pythia. Whether her mysterious words answer your question is up to you to decide. As yet, no one has built in this sacred place.
