One of the lesser Hyborian kingdoms, Corinthia is actually more of a confederacy, comprised of loosely allied city-states. It lay south of Brythunia and Nemedia, west of Zamora, east of Ophir, and north of Koth.
It is mostly mountainous. The western reaches contain rank after rank of forested ridges, extending to the jagged wall of the Karpash Mountains. The Road of Kings, a major trade route, passes through central Corinthia.
Corinthia had a separate identity as early as the florescence of Acheron. It was subject to the latter, then "gained its independence" with the fall of the ancient empire to the Hyborians.
Some time during the 3000 years that followed, it came under the growing hegemony of the Hyborians. The economy of Corinthia is both pastoral and agricultural, with specialized small industries in the city-states.
