Thaum

The Free city of Thaum is the centerpiece of the setting. It has many names, among which is the City of Miracles, referring both to its name (Thauma = miracle in the ancient tongue) and the long history of high-quality alchemists that the city's academy produces.

Thaum is located within the large Empire, and ruled by the ducal house of Vos Thauma, one of three branches of the now extinct Vos dynasty.

The City
While a large part of the city is directly ruled by the Vos Thauma house, there are 6 districts of the city that are ruled by barons under the ducal throne.

The Lands
The lands just outside of the city, mostly dominated by the Thaumic plain, is split between two counts whose families have long been rivals.

Isles of Scion
Unlike the other parts of Thaum, the isles of Scion are not ruled by nobility but by a guild - the Alchemists' guild to be exact. Here you will find the Thaumic Academy of the Material Arts (colloquially known as "Tam"), also run by the guild.
