It serves as a major shipping hub, having the largest port in the northwestern Shire. Despite being under the jurisdiction of the Empire and overseen by a Chancellor, the city is notorious for its well-established system of intimidating aristocratic families who are frequently accused of bullying, harassing, or threatening the Chancellor in order to maintain thinly-veiled control over the city's government. Its aristocracy, which is used in a much more literal sense than the informal [[Fulfwotz Aristocracy]], is made up of numerous wealthy and influential families within the city.

Ironically, Dante's actions to stop a future rebellion from occurring ended up inciting one itself. In solidarity with the Cult of Illumination, citizens began attacking guards and looting public buildings. In response, Dante ordered the city to be set on fire as he and the Aducci family watched from a galley. Almost the entirety of Caffa was razed, destroying famous landmarks such as the old Council of Kings Hall and the Merchants' Guild. Also razed was the ''Palazzo Reale'', a large palace built by Dante on Consiglio Hill; the ''Castello Alto'' now stands in its place.</ins></div></td></tr>

The early days of his reign are often romanticized; one of his first actions was to deliver a speech in Caffa's market, glamorized in Strokeshaft's play ''Dante'' with the famous line "...giveth me thy ships, and I shalt giveth thee thy city." Dante was given control of the merchants' ships, and somehow managed to regain a sizable amount of Caffa's previous wealth. It is technically still unknown how he managed to accomplish this, though it is possible he lent the ships to pirates and privateers, and demanded the majority of their plunder in return. </ins></div></td></tr>
