Kvothe arrives in Severen penniless and in rags. We discuss how Rothfuss has introduced two cities now where the city’s class dynamics are mirrored by the literal geography. This leads us into a discussion of the political economy of cities more broadly, and the features of fantasy cities, including which ones are best. We also discuss Kvothe’s hunger sense, and the properties of the delicious ragamuffin.
