Capital City

Capital City is the capital city of Visaunra.

Climate
Capital City is said to have mild winters. While it does not snow much, it does get cold enough to damage pipes (Chapter 68). It is inland.

City Proper
The heart of Capital City is home to many cafes and apartments, such as Shauna's apartment.

Marketplace
The marketplace in Capital City is a large area of winding cobblestone streets, with rows and rows of different shops packed in. The shops are all decorated with symbols advertising their wares and specialties-- for example, some shops have the marking of the Academia in their windows, while others have the individual seals of various schools of magic. There are no individual carts, and the area is always crowded by late morning.

A few of the shops seen include incense shops, a dark-colored building specializing in wands and staffs, an artificer's shop akin to a hoarder's den, various enchanters' shops, a shop specializing in precious gems, a bone dealer whose shop is closed in the daytime, and different component stores. The marketplace is also home to the component store Kara enters in Chapter 50, and the bookshop entered in that same chapter.

Suburbs
Outside the city proper is various suburbs, such as the one where Kara lives.

The Cages
The Cages, also known as "the Cages district" or "the Market", is where demibeasts are sold. Some demibeasts roam freely as prostitutes, trying to seduce customers and bring in money for their owners. At night, there are auctions for more valuable specimens, which draw in big crowds.

The Cages is a large area, surrounded by shops and stalls with vendors selling equipment for pets and familiars: clothing, collars, fetish equipment, training manuals, and more. In the center of the market is a courtyard, with rows and rows of iron cages stacked atop each other, forming high-walled paths. Many cages have multiple demibeasts inside, though rarer specimens may have their own cages, and pretty ones get accessories. The farther in one goes, the worse the conditions get, as they keep the less desirable demibeasts further into the labyrinth of cages.

The Clothing District
The clothing district is a place mentioned in Chapter 2 as being near the Cages district. It is possible to go from one to the other directly.
