To manage the wealth generated by the resurgence of the northern trade routes, the Marquisate has established the Curia of the Three Keys. The state treasury and the legal archives are locked in the citadel of Bodonitsa, requiring three separate keys held by the Marquis, the Latin Bishop, and a representative of the local Greek burgesses. This primitive but effective system of 'Checks and Balances' prevents the embezzlement that often plagues small feudal states, ensuring that the heavy tolls collected at Thermopylae are actually spent on the fortress walls.
