Capital: Trikelios (population 25,000). Area: 10,974. Population: 70,000. Language: Alphatian, Thyatian, Nithian. Coinage: Alphatian Standard. Taxes: Trikelios imposes an income tax of 20% on everyone of servant status or higher and an import tax of 1% (this tax only concerns goods coming from outside the Confederacy and does not concern goods from Karameikos due to a trade agreement between that nation and the Confederacy). None of it goes to the Imperial Treasury, to help the country recover from the war. In addition, the country receives extra money from the Council. Government type: Semiautonomous monarchy owing loyalty to the New Alphatian Confederated Empire since Yarthmont 10, AC 1013. Industries, Description, Notable Sites, History, Flora and Fauna: See the PWAs. Important Figures: Stillian (Queen of Ekto), Ginrol (General). Updates for the years 1013 and 1014 AC: When Thothia fought back the Thyatians after they had conquered most of the Isle of Dawn, Pharaoh Ramenhotep XXIV tried to take back all the territories that once were loyal to Alphatia. Trikelios was the first city he took back from the Thytians when he decided Thothia should become the aggressor. Trikelios has since been Thothian-controlled, and this fact was recognized by Thyatis with the Isle of Dawn Treaty. Trikelios regained its independence when Thothia agreed to become member of the New Alphatian Confederated Empire. Thothia granted independence to the three small kingdoms of the Isle of Dawn, but only after having put a new King or Queen on the thrones, a new General at the head of the armed forces, and after having forced them to become full members of the Confederacy. When Stillian, who was Queen of Ierendi at the time, learned that her kingdom had been freed from Thyatian rule, she immediately resigned the office and left for Trikelios, in the hope of helping her people to recover as best as she could. Trikelios has been less devastated than neighboring Ekto, but has much to rebuild nonetheless, and money granted by the Council is welcome. See Also: DotE, M5, PWAs (esp.
