Culture, History and Legend
Geography and Infrastructure in Kasa
The city of Kasa – one of two capitals – lies in the south part of Braided Shore. It is divided into several districts, many of them connected by bridges. Much of the city is built on very old foundations, which have survived through a long, sometimes quite violent, history.
Underneath the city runs an old sewer system and rumour has it that something called the Sewer Queen stalks its darkest corners. But then again, maybe it’s just rats. (But then again, maybe the Queen controls the rats).
To the south of Kasa lies the billowing saffron fields which supply all of Braided Shore. The royal cobalt saffron crocus has become a symbol of sorts for Kasa, ever since the fall of the Frost Hag. It is said that, when the ground once more lay without the frigid touch of the Hag, the first saffron flowers appeared to grace the survivors of that terrible time. Many are convinced it was a gift from the Sefra, for the noble deeds of the Asken.
