Free City of Noukouthak

The Free City of Noukouthak (Fuscinivir Sironian: Keʠῐxarȷ Nωkωʠak), commonly known as the Imperial Territory of Noukouthak, was one of the three Imperial Territories of the Empire of Astyllea. The last remnant of the nation of Fuscinivir, it was a bastion of the local Sironian culture and faith of Sakrelism. It was the smallest imperial territory within Astyllea, being completely surrounded by the County of Ayesinco (in the Archonate of Theionikos) with the exception of its coastline. The province contained two cities: Noukouthak and Narekther. Sakrelism was the official religion and the language spoken was Classical (Sironian) Sagaviri.

It was created during the complex formation of Astyllea after the Fuscinivir War (Brother's War) as a trading chip in negotiations between Aldovir and Yimmu-Audal. The Audalads claimed that "only Joe's town wants to join Aldovir" (completely ignoring the major southern cities of Iverthirak and Nou'kalasirol, and the fact that Thasir had fallen to Fuscinivir during a siege. However, the Aldoviri forsook their Sagaviri brothers for their Yimmie "brothers" and decided to return all liberated Fusciniviri territories to the Audalad Empire.
