The capitol city of '''Sothis''' is located at the mouth of the [[River Sphinx]], and is the largest, and most prosperous city in the kingdom of [[Osirion]]. The city is built around the molted husk of [[Ulunat]], a colossal beetle that was one of the spawn of [[Rovagug]]. It was also the seat of ancient Osirion before the millennia of [[Kelesh|Keleshite]] rule.<ref name="CS-119">{{Cite book/Campaign Setting|119}}</ref>

==Geography==
Sothis is built a dozen miles from the River Sphinx in the eastern deserts of Osirion, and was largely dependent on oases for water until the construction of the [[Crimson Canal]], which allows the shipping directly into central Sothis and the devotion of the River Sphinx to agriculture. <ref name="OLoP 18">{{Cite book/Osirion, Land of Pharaohs|18}}</ref> Sothis began as a series of tribal settlements around the husk of [[Ulunat]], which became the [[Black Dome]], due to the natural springs and the shell's shelter from the ''khamsin'' winds.<ref>{{Cite book/Osirion, Land of Pharaohs|17}}</ref> Since multiple locks branch away from the main canal and traffic is observed and regulated from the canal's only island, the [[Eye of Sothis]], there is less congestion than is common in other major ports.<ref name = "OLoP 18" /> Sothis's skyline is dominated by the massive [[Black Dome]], which houses the [[Palace of the Forthbringer]] and the [[Council of Sun and Sky]]. <ref>{{Cite book/Osirion, Land of Pharaohs|17}}</ref> [[Malhitu Bazaar]] takes up much of the southeastern sector. <ref>{{Cite book/Osirion, Land of Pharaohs|17}}</ref> The [[Necropolis of the Faithful]] is situated on the western bank of the Crimson Canal, expanding out from the original grounds of [[Pharasma]]'s temple.<ref>{{Cite book/Osirion, Land of Pharaohs|19}}</ref> There is a [[Sothis Lodge|Pathfinder lodge]] in the city.<ref>{{Cite book/Seekers of Secrets|33}}</ref>

==Religion==
The most prominent temples of Sothis are the [[High Temple of Pharasma]] at the [[Necropolis of the Faithful]], the grand temple of [[Nethys]] and [[Azghaad's Spire]] opposite Pharasma's temple, and the [[Temple of the Eternal Sun]]. The center of the cult of [[Norgorber]] in Osirion is a hidden, grand temple on the southern end of the [[Eye of Sothis]], and the faith maintains a small temple at the southern end of the [[Malhitu Bazaar]].<ref name = "OLoP 18" />
