Bayam

**Bayam** is the capital of the Rorsted Archipelago, also called the "City of Generosity". Located on the Blue Mountain Island, it occupies more than half of the archipelago which was mostly covered in forest. It has gold, silver, copper, coal, iron, and other minerals, as well as a plentiful variety of fruits due to the particularly fertile land. For these reasons, the first batch of colonists named the seaside city they built the “City of Generosity.” They believed it was a land of treasure promised by the gods, where it flowed with milk and honey.

During Jahn Kottman's tenure, the true ruling group of the Beyonder world in the Rorsted Archipelago was the Church of the Lord of Storms.
