&zeter

An abandoned city of the Minarborian Empire, &zeter was reoccupied by Imperial Forces in the aftermath of Operation Bait Harvest and is now home to an appreciable garrison of auxiliaries, their families, and camp-followers.

&zeter is in the front-line of Tee-al containment and is being heavily fortified in consequence. It is there first location in the entire Imperial Republic where Shrapnel Lilies, a particularly hazardous specimen of genetically modified flora, have been planted in a controlled environment as part of the defensive works.

A number of abandoned properties on the eastern outskirts of the ruined city have undergone restoration work and been converted into facilities for imperial agencies such as the Chamber of the Crypteia, S.W.O.R.D., the Decimæ, the Vigiles Arcani and the Steward's Honour Guard. Many of these are treated by the ladies and gentlemen of the officer corps as little more than glorified country retreats, but their rural isolation and distance from Shirekeep also renders them appealing for other more specific purposes.
