Somae is the capital of the Eastmarches and seat of House Thewisy. It has grown over time from one of the original cities on the continent to a sprawling intellectual and cultural capital. The city can largely be split up between Azuretop, the hill on which the Palace, Library, and Academy are sat; Rudroof, the old town outside the walls that was incorporated into the city around halfway through its history; and those areas further west and south which were walled in during the Golden Age of Somae.
