	While [[Ephebe]] is clearly based on [[wikipedia:Ancient_Greece\|Ancient Greece]] with every knob turned up to eleven, Tsort is not so clear-cut. There is a clear component of ancient [[wikipedia:Troy\|Troy]], which was situated on the west coast of modern-day Turkey. However, all other references point to the ancient Persian Empire (which, in its heyday, included the site of Troy). The Persians built step pyramids (ziggurats) and refined their own hieroglyphic language into the [[wikipedia:cuneiform\|cuneiform]] script, the immediate predecessor of all modern Western scripts (both Greek and Hebrew alphabets borrowed heavily from cuneiform, and our modern Latin script is a Roman adaptation of Greek lettering). It's scarcely necessary to add that Greece and Persia were traditional enemies and fought many wars, as befits geographical neighbours the world over.

One of two political heavyweights adjoining [[Djelibeybi]] and the historical enemy of [[Ephebe]], the other, Tsort is a walled kingdom on the continent of [[Klatch (continent)|Klatch]], by the [[Circle Sea]]. Presumably, it is located in the Tsort valley, near the Tsort river. Tsort (not to be confused with Tsorta, a now-destroyed village that once stood around 1.8 kilometers from Tsort) seems to be a heavily militarized society; its influential Commander of the Fleet is the [[Imperiator|Imperiator]]. In the war against [[Omnia]], Tsort was able to contribute the most ships to the invasion fleet.

Unlike Ephebe, Tsort can't look back on a noteworthy [[philosophers|philosophy]] tradition, but is notable for having, at one time, imitated [[Djelibeybi]] in pyramid-building, as exemplified by the famous [[Great Pyramid of Tsort]] (made one with {{wp|Ozymandias|the lone and level sands}} long, long ago). The pyramid is said to have contained the ancestral wisdom of Tsort. Inscribed on the interior of its walls was an ancient prophecy detailing how the world was going to be destroyed if the eight spells of the [[Octavo]] weren't said on [[Hogswatch]] of one year in the [[Century of the Fruitbat]]. Tsort's written language is comprised of hieroglyphs.

There is also, of course, the famous [[Elenor of Tsort]], a beautiful woman stolen from [[Ephebe]] by King Mausoleum, causing the Tsortean Wars, in which a Tsortean Horse was used, and which prominently featured a Tsortean hero whose heels were his only vulnerability.

Tsort in its capacity as a military entity is featured prominently in {{E}}, {{P}} and {{SG}}.
