Editing Trisstral Alliance

The '''Trisstral Alliance''' is a political, economic and military alliance in the south of [[Izril]].

== Background ==
The Alliance is formed from a group of [[Drakes|Drake]] cities,<ref name="4.47">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/06/19/4-47/ Chapter 4.47]</ref> none of which is a [[Walled Cities|Walled City]].

The city/town/region of '''Verdam''' was the first member known; they were named in the story for sending a low-level detachment to the allied forces.<ref name="2.29">[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/05/26/2-24/ Chapter 2.29]</ref> Later, the cities of Dellek and Selmis are mentioned as being part of the Alliance.<ref name="8.05 I">[https://wanderinginn.com/2021/02/07/8-05-i/ Chapter 8.05 I]</ref>

=== History: War with Salazsar ===
In the year of [[Erin]]'s arrival in Liscor, the Trisstral Alliance had a severe ''trade dispute'' with the Walled City of [[Salazsar]] because the alliance was undermining the trade monopoly on gemstones which Salazsar was trying to enforce.<ref name="5.16 S">[https://wanderinginn.com/2018/09/01/5-16-s/ Chapter 5.16 S]</ref> [[Pallass]], by tradition opposed to Salazsar's politics, was backing the Trisstral Alliance in this war, but did not partake with their military.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2020/01/29/7-03/ Chapter 7.03]</ref>

[[Zel Shivertail]], regarded as a son of Pallass but available for hire among Drake cities, served as the [General] of the Trisstral Alliance.<ref name="4.47" /> He led a battle against the forces of Wall Lord [[Ilvriss Gemscale]] of Salazsar, which was fought in the hilly swamplands between Pallass and the [[Bloodfields]].<ref name="2.29" /> With Zel winning that battle decisively (thanks to a distraction provided by [[Ryoka]]), the war ended in favor of the Trisstral Alliance.<ref name="5.16 S" />

At first, this end of the war was disputed by Ilvriss' allies, but the looming threat of the [[Reiss|Goblin Lord]] and the opening of [[Liscor's Dungeon]] stopped the conflict from running further.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2017/07/29/2-41/ Chapter 2.48]</ref>

Zel was residing in [[Liscor]] after the war ended and then traveled into the Human Lands; while doing so he was still considered a ''member'' of the Alliance on his own.<ref name="4.47" />
