			==Sevule==

			Sevule is a mountainous island. The Capital of Y'Kiomi is nestled between two mountains, and its streets rise sharply away from the forked bay that comprises its harbor. The steep terrain makes it look as if the whitewashed buildings of the densely populated city are stacked atop one another to ships entering the harbor. At night, thousands of torches illuminate the busy port city, making it visible from several miles out to sea.
