Chusam
Chusam is the only major town in Manashina, and its de facto capital. It is located at the base of the cliff leading up to the holy ground where they believe the world was created, and had historically been the site of negotiations and peace talks for centuries.
When Manashins first settled on the islands in Lake Jondush to flee the forest, Chusam was most groups' first stop before finding a permanent spot in the islands to settle.
Chusam today is dominated by a large wooden building in the centre of town where the Confederation meets. Outside of it is the Chusam Market, where traders and artisans from across Manashina come to sell wares. Around the market is a ring of businesses - taverns, bakeries, tailors, etc - and around that, rings of turf houses.
