Sleta is a smaller port city built on the southern coast of Aimsir, where the coast is met by the southern tip of the Sliabh mountains. The city's nation population is mostly Carragh, with a small minority of travellers that call the city home. Sleta is unique among the major cities of Sliabh in that it is built primarily above ground. The notable exception is the large subterranean amplitheater which is used for meetings, especially with Carragh diplomats more comfortable below ground

The city is shaped like a horse-shoe, carved out by a canal that forms a ring around a large artificial island built into the center of the bay. Impressive stone bridges connect the outer ring to the central island. The island houses a grand bazaar of the goods not destined for the interior of Sliabh, which makes Sleta a central location for trade for the southern coastal regions of Aimsir. At the center of the outer ring stands a large, cylindrical stone pillar that stands 220 feet tall. The pillar's exterior is carved with depictions of Carragh historical events, and is built above the city's amplitheater

The Carragh of Sleta are independently minded, by Carragh standards, but see themselves as inexorably bound to Sliabh. The citizens have taken it on themselves to bring outside influences into the Carragh empire. Despite this disruptive behavoir and their remote location, Sleta is well regarded by the rest of Sliabh
