	Nyhem is the capital city of Formaroth, making it the seat of power across the entire continent. Nyhem is the oldest known city in Formaroth as well as the largest. Nyhem is located within the 'Sypius Plains' which is currently under control by the Du Paraquette family who inherited it long before the death of late King John Remonnet. 

	The city has various districts within the city’s wall, as well as a substantial population that lives outside of the walls. Most of the Nyhem’s buildings are made out of a mixture of wood, wattle and daub with grey stone tiles for the roofs. The city is governed by the High Council which is made up of five of the king’s closest advisors. The High Council is also responsible for the ruling of Formaroth. The rulers of Formaroth live within Miserth Keep. The city has various places of interest located inside including the ‘Grand Arena’, and the Bazaar, a vast market-place where any citizen can find almost any item they are in search of. 

	Nyhem hosts various different types of tournaments within the Grand Arena ranging from Archery, Jousting, and bloody fights to the death, where combatants fight against the Nyhem’s Champion, and even against wild beasts that were captured across Formaroth, and brought to the arena. Nyhem is also home to the famed, Alchemist’s Guild, and to the Grand Temple.

        Since Formaroth is under an imperial rule, all other "kingdoms" and the Houses that rule them, obey the laws that are set in Nyhem. If Formaroth proposes a law to outlaw slavery, for example, the other kingdoms would have to follow the same law. Of course, attempts to refute the laws Nyhem has passed occurs, but any sign or show of rebellion is quickly remedied. 

      Nyhem also houses the Royal Army, and the Royal Naval Fleet. Conscripts are taken in during  their teenage years so as to allow sufficient training and education for their troops. Most conscripts serve seven years with the Army or Navy before being released from military duty. After seven years, the conscripts may rejoin as soldiers or sailors if they desire. Life in the army and the navy are lucrative places for a poor man to be, as both areas of the military offer high paying positions for which a man can provide a modest lifestyle for his family.
