The city of Lysmån consists of two fused towns split by the Bybetheiro. It functions as the capital of the nation and the province of Lysmån, exerting its control over the smaller cities and villages over the land. The 4 sub-capitals of the provinces send their delegates to the capital as representatives of the ruling class in that city. Historically the Mån side of the river has produced advanced and unique techniques of ceramics. Therefore Lysmån is known as “The City of blue and white”, the two main colours of these ceramics. The city consists of the two banks of the Bybetheiro and three islands within the river delta. On the largest of the three: Carontello, the Teseppa ci Hadan, also known as the "Vault of fortune" is built. The palace covers the entire island on its own. The lesser two islands: Merenval and Sanderstönd are used for the shipping industries, accepting all in- and export of the city. Besides the isles, the city consists of the four districts. Månnus: The trade district in the north eastern quarter. Lillevant: the south eastern quarter, the guild district. Serelle the south western is largest district as it is the wealthy residential area of the city housing most nobles. Lastly the north western quarter of Krodam consists of mainly slums.
