Bath

Like Dorset, this territory is ruled by Edmund Beaufort, the powerful (and incredibly corrupt) Duke of Somerset.
Bath features the great Aqua Sulis, the waters of healing, a place sacred to the Cymri, Arcadians, and later sanctified by the Church of Madriel the Redeemer, the First Angel of Mercy.

The old baths have been built over by a massive Cleric Temple, and the clerics control access to the baths. It is said that to this day, those who are gravely ill, injured, cursed, blind or lame, and receive the cleric’s permission to bathe in the waters, will either be purified (if so chosen by the Unconquered Sun) or they will be released into a quick death. Bath is the headquarters of the Clerical Order in Albion, and its High Commander Thomas Beckynton can be found here, when not at Calais fighting the Frogs; and there is always a relatively large concentration of clerics to be found throughout Somerset.
