Kition (pronounced kih-TEE-on) is a city in the Tamkaranu colony of Ashnan. Founded by settlers from Hellea long before anyone from the eastern coast of the Chaska Sea arrived to the region, it was incorporated into the colony around Y9600*.
Kition has not been spared from the unrest of the Lamplighter Rebellion. Though the rebels themselves have very little presence in the city, as the attentions of the triad of trade coalitions and the shufet who rule Ashnan have been directed inland others have sought to take advantage of the situation and grab control of Kition. Multiple prospective arequals have seized power in the city for short durations within the last few years, each quickly repelled by the arrival of warships in the employ of the trade coalitions.
