Caldeum was originally ruled by the [[Trade Consortium Council]], but [[Emperor Hakan]] united the city under his banner, before he became ill.
Caldeum hosts both the [[Vizjerei]] [[mage clan]] as well as the [[Yshari]] council of [[sorcerer]]s. Under the [[Yshari Sanctum]], some sort of infamous chambers called the [[Bitter Depths]] can be found.
:It is all too much for one to bear, really."
Many hundred years ago, Caldeum has a military outpost in the [[Borderlands]] named [[Lut Bahadur]], which was put in place. It was located there to keep the [[Lacuni]] (cat people) in their cliff dwellings safely away from Caldeum.
==Caldeum in Diablo IIIGallery==It remains to be seen how Blizzard is going to capture the "trade capital of the entire world" in-game, as it would be substantially larger than any of the act towns seen in the previous games. It's the second city to be revealed to be part of the game, the first being [[New Tristram]].
