Siochain (pronounced SHEE-hawn) is a city located on the western coast of the island of Sisceal. The weather and climate could be compared to Ireland or Scotland, given that it has good rainfall, but rocky soil that makes agriculture difficult. The city is also built half-into the mountains there, so the steep incline make more than kitchen gardens almost impossible.
Siochain lives under the flag of Urraim, the sword and rose. However, the Scathachs do not often come to Siochain, instead preferring to spend their time overseeing Urraim, the capitol city of Sisceal. Instead, the city's management is left to Kensa ta Gwydion, the countess who handles Siochain's affiars.
One of the interesting features about the city is that it is half in the real world and half in the Fae realm known as Elsewhere. While you can safely venture some distance from Siochain without becoming lost, it is easy to step into Elsewhere by mistake. Living on the outskirts of Elsewhere provides some very unusual weather and events to those that live within the city. It has been known to rain peanuts or snow feathers on occasion. Rarely are these strange events harmful, but... they are certainly unusual, that is for certain.
Elsewhere's proximity is more than a mere curiosity, however, it has proved to both be a boon and a curse for the city. Fell beasts have been known to attack the city and do injury and very real damage. Though the occasional rainfall of chocolate milk or candies is not entirely unwelcome.
