The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- They constituted one of the three main Paleo-Balkan populations, along with the Thracians and Greeks.
- The territory the Illyrians inhabited came to be known as Illyria to later Greek and Roman authors, who identified a territory that corresponds to most of Albania, Montenegro, Kosovo, much of Croatia and Bosnia and Herzegovina, western and central Serbia and some parts of Slovenia between the Adriatic Sea in the west, the Drava river in the north, the Morava river in the east and the Ceraunian…
- The first account of Illyrian people dates back to the 6th century BC, in the works of the ancient Greek writer Hecataeus of Miletus.
Why it is Rare
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Illyrians article was read about 250,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 89 and blocks with 91: each hit it takes is cut by 36 %.
