Tychon also began scavenging in territories owned by Athames, leading to tensions between the two. In the meantime, Tychon stopped paying Irsu for his services, which lead the smuggler to send a letter to him, demanding that Tychon stay true to his agreement.[1]
Later that year, Tychon was based in the Temple of Hatshepsut, patrolling between the temple and the military camp nearby.
