Tridecapolis

The metropolis of Tridecapolis lies east of our friends' hometown, Lokos, beyond the Rocky Ridge. One usually goes only via the Pointy Route, the main passage from west to east Geapa, to Tridecapolis. In Tridecapolis, and throughout the magical land Geapa, is all about gold stone, and the gold stone coins made from it.

Tridecapolis is the capital, of the republic of Matvey Vaso, which is secretly governed by the Syndicate. Within Tridecapolis are several districts over which Syndicate families have ruled for years. This is generally known to the people, citizens and non-citizens of Tridecapolis, but that a real Syndicate also exists? "Well now, those are just fairy tales," many a Tridecapolan thinks. They don't want to go that far. Or do they?

Tridecapolis, the high-tech, highly developed industrial metropolis, has as its core building the Decadomum. An exceptional building -- where everything is decided. The people know that, too, but they generally assume a working democracy.

Emperor Moracles XIII blesses Democracy, its Government, Senate and Chamber, under the President and Vice President.

Tension is already building as Matvey Vaso, the Republic, lives in fragile peace with its neighbors in Thyra. When within Tridecapolis through the Shadow of the Medial one and another rapidly raises tempers ... General Dronov Auctoritas, his Colonel Bobel Auctoritas Tenebris and their two majors, Earl Wezem Tenebris and Flix Stack Tenebris are caught off guard by an unpleasant surprise during their conversation.
