City of Seheron

The city of Seheron is the largest settlement by size and population on the Isle of Seheron, and the main stronghold of the Qunari in the region.

Among the Qunari, the beresaad task their youngest soldiers with protecting the port of Seheron. It is considered to be a relatively easy task, mostly requiring a tolerance for boredom and the ability to pay close attention even after hours of inactivity. There are occasional threats to the city's security–assassins, spies, infiltrators–and the young beresaad stationed there, most of them under eighteen years old, are the city's first line of defense. However, while the city proper is considered a safe post, service elsewhere on the island is considered hazardous. Scores of Qunari soldiers fall to local insurgents, Tevinters, and Tal-Vashoth. Even those who survive are left scarred, as prolonged stress breaks the wills and minds of veteran officers and new soldiers alike. The Qunari call the condition asala-taar, or "soul sickness". The tamassrans struggle to compensate for the losses, forcing the antaam to promote new officers as quickly as they are lost.

Locations
Many of the names of these locations are in Qunlat, but the rough Common Tongue translation will be provided in parentheses.

 * The Akhaaz: The main fortress that lies at the heart of the city of Seheron, which houses the Arishok, the leader of the Qunari military.

Aqun-Essam (Qun District)
One third of the city of Seheron is called the Aqun-Essam, which translates literally to "where balance is found).
