Tricolony (Vespasian: Tricolonia), sometimes referred to as Three Colonies, was a group of three colonies established by the Povelian settlers on the northern coast of Asteria Inferior. Initially independent from each other, the colonies of Sassari, Asstia and Nassea were later organized into the Viceroyalty of New Povelia in /1961?/. The tricolonial period is considered a foundation of modern Gapolania and Adamantina, characterized by rapid economic and spatial development, introduction of Sotirianity, slave trade and campaigns against the indigenous Chanuche and Dabu people.
Background
The discovery of the Asterias by Povelian explorers marked a new era in the history of the continents. The Council of Thirteen sent numerous established navigators to map the coast of northern Asteria Inferior in the second decade of the 15th century, particularly Domenico Sarutina, who later established a port in the Bay of Astia, one of the first settlements in the modern history of the region.
The discovery of the New World brought new opportunities to Euclean colonizers. Securing power in the region was not only a symbol of prestige for Povelia but it also strengthened the nation's dominance within the Etrurian states, which often struggled from political instabilities at that time. Owning a colony meant that Povelia was prepared to lead the neighboring principalities and republics. Additionally, the state actively sought new sources of income, which could be provided by the vast unclaimed lands of Asteria Inferior. Admiral Giacomo Borghese sailed into the Eastern Arucian Sea in 1538 to find suitable coastline for trade and colonization, opening the door for the first colony on the eastern side of the continent in 1543, Sassari. Subtropical climate of the region, warmer than the one in Etruria could sustain many crops, including spices and sugar, which were extremely profitable in early modern Euclea.
Colonies
- I'll make a map for that
Sassari
- Povelian arrival in 1538
- Region around the southern river
- Rapid plantation development
- Used natives as indentured servents/slaves, also imported slaves
- Officially formed colony in 1543
Astia
- Povelian arrival in 1526
- Region around the river
- Rapid development, plantations and timber
- Main receiver of slaves
- Officially formed in 1540
Nassea
- Povelian arrival in late 1526
- The least developed one
- Construction of Nassea in the delta of Paraìa river
- Officially formed in 1541
Aftermath
- The creation of the Viceroyalty
- Legacy - how is it perceived now, especially by the indigenous communities
- Legacy - how does the focus on Sassari and Astia is carried on into modern economic disparities between Gapolanese west and east
- Influence on culture
