	Prior to the Spartan conquest, Messenia was a prosperous land with lush vegetation. During the [[Peloponnesian War]] the Spartans mobilized all of the region's resources towards its war effort, and its environment was devastated by the unfettered exploitation of its resources.

	In 425 BCE, the [[Battle of Pylos]] was fought in the southwestern corner of the region during the Peloponnesian War. The ''[[Mercenary\|misthios]]'' [[Kassandra]] and her brother [[Alexios\|Deimos]] took part in the battle, fighting on opposite sides: Kassandra for Sparta and Deimos for Athens.

	The Spartans would continue making numerous attempts to regain the region, especially around 422 BCE, where they were backed by the [[Order of Dominion]], a branch of the [[Order of the Ancients]] from [[Iran\|Persia]]. However, the Order was secretly consolidating strength in preparation for a future conquest of the region, and subsequently the Greek world.<ref name="Bloodline">''Assassin's Creed: Odyssey'' – ''[[Legacy of the First Blade: Bloodline]]''</ref>		The Spartans would continue making numerous attempts to regain the region, especially around 422 BCE, where they were backed by the [[Order of Dominion]], a branch of the [[Order of the Ancients]] from [[Iran\|Persia]].
