Setreed is a city-state in ancient Orudara and acts as the cultural capital of the continent. Other Orudaran peoples live in scattered city-states, but Setreed draws them together through learning, record, and power.
The city rises behind multiple layers of walls, each built in response to an earlier scourge. These defenses make Setreed the most fortified and well-armed city in Orudara. The walls reflect memory as much as fear, and they shape how the city understands survival.
This city-state houses the University, where scholars preserve history, philosophy, and science. It is also the seat of the Information Guild, whose reach extends across the continent. Although the city lies far inland near Crystal Lake, the city still maintains a Pirate Guild presence. Knowledge, force, trade, and secrecy converge here, marking Setreed as both the intellectual heart and the strategic core of Orudara.
