Asetta (pronounced ah-SEH-tah) is the capital of the Hellean nation of the Halakran League. Located in a sparsely populated, forested region of the League near the Greenwall, Asetta was chosen for its role due to its small size and lack of existing affiliation with any city-state. Even now life within Asetta remains intrinsically tied to the administrative and political concerns of the League for most of its inhabitants.

Asetta is well-fortified, and the tall stone walls around the city, shaped like that of an oversized star fort, are regularly patrolled. A large forested reserve that is allowed to grow wild surrounds the city. Asetta can be accessed from a single road that runs east to Henioche - other routes to the city require charting a path through the forests and plains of central Hellea. Inside the city the roads are planned in a grid pattern within the enclosing walls. The agora, temples, gardens, and a large bathhouse are located in the center, with barracks, houses, and other structures adjacent. The residents of Asetta enjoy running water, fed by underground cisterns that are themselves fed by an aqueduct from the western mountains.
