Aborium

Aborium is a large bayside city located on the West coast. It is the main Herder centre and is the way to access Herder Isle. In Farseekers it is described as a "bad and dangerous" place. There are reports of herders and soldierguards capturing those on the street at night in the city and taking them to underground prision cells. It is made up of small square skyscrapers and has a visible smoke that hangs above it.

Aborium is where Elspeth and Brydda first met.

The Farseeker
In The Farseeker, the expedition is nursed back to health by a rebel couple who request that they travel to Aborium to check on their son, Brydda.

In Aborium, Elspeth is taken captive and then rescued by Brydda's friends who take her to see him. The Herders take Kella, Jik and Pavo captive and hold them in a cloister. They discover that Jik is an escaped herder novice and plan to take him to Herder Isle. Elspeth is able to rescue Kella and Pavo, and with Brydda help, later rescue Jik from the wharf.
