Reborn upon an abominable alliance of ruthlessly enduring vendetta, military might, and the terrible machinations of Imperator Glaaki and his Chaos Court, Ashtan has embraced its title of the Seat of Chaos. Their profane aims are wrought with havoc and destruction, utter ruin brought to bear against the orderly social and theological structures that would dare oppose the Bastion and her hermetic benefactors. | Reborn upon an abominable alliance of ruthlessly enduring vendetta, military might, and the terrible machinations of Imperator Glaaki and his Chaos Court, Ashtan has embraced its title of the Seat of Chaos.

The city-state is actively guarded by the likes of Sorrowborne Sentinels, sentries of the Vanguard, thralls of the wheel, demented skyscourges, and Ashtan corsairs. | ||
Following the discovery and use of city guardians for the purposes of [[conquest]], 922 years after the fall of the Seleucarian Empire, Ashtan became the first nation to claim victory through this new avenue of warfare and don the mantle of the Eldritch Empire of Ruin, a title they retained for the following decade. | Following the discovery and use of city guardians for the purposes of [[conquest]], 922 years after the fall of the Seleucarian Empire, Ashtan became the first nation to claim victory through this new avenue of warfare and don the mantle of the Eldritch Empire of Ruin, a title they retained for the following decade. | ||

One of [[Rurin|Rurin's]] many outlets, it offers a wide array of utilities that would appeal to any adventurer, from inks and commodities to basic food and clothing. In the northwestern corner of town can be found '''Dockhand Square''', a popular crossroads of sorts. Aside from being the most frequent haunt of the [[Ratman]], this seaside district is dotted with many odd adventurer-owned shops catering to all manners of taste. Venturing east and south from here, one might find a cluster of adventurer-owned shops along a particular curve of '''Croce Lane''', as well as the [[forge|smithy]] of [[Listar]], the Royal Blacksmith. On the far east side of the city, steeped in the upper-class elegance that is the Accron Overlook, is '''[[Amadia|Amadia's]] Jewellery Shoppe of Ashtan'''. | ||
