Part of Meletis, though large enough to be governed by themselves, Setessa produces a majority of food for people across the lands governed by Meletis.

Setessa:

Setessa is the favoured polis of Karametra, and its buildings blend so perfectly into the forest that it’s difficult to tell the difference between inside and outside. The populace lives in harmony with the thick forests, terraced farms, and trained animals of Setessa, and they celebrate the cycle of seasons with grand holidays.

Setessa is also unique among the poleis of Theros in that few of its adult residents are men. Women comprise the bulk of the population, holding almost all of the leadership roles and carrying out most work. Men are few and far between, mostly performing roles at the polis’s edge. Children run freely around the polis. They’re so important, in fact, that Setessa’s people take in abandoned children from all over Theros.

Trade and Currency:

Setessa trades regularly with Akros and Meletis, as well as the Centaurs of the Lagonna Band . However, its Abora Market, just inside the city gate, is open to outsiders only on certain days, and Setessan merchants prefer to barter goods rather than accept currency. Despite these restrictions, Setessan food, woodwork and trained falcons are highly valued in the other poleis.
