Located on the northwestern coast of [[Sapience]], the revamped [[city-state]] of '''Ashtan, Seat of Chaos''', was founded in the days of legend, long before the rise of the [[Seleucarian Empire]]. It has been a prominent seaport on the [[Sapphire Sea]] almost since the day [[Glanos]] established it, shortly after he and [[Sahart]] left [[Ceylon]]. Though the overseas trade dried up during the [[Anarchy Rebellions]] and the naval force fell into deprecation, in modern times Ashtan has still remained a powerful force politically, economically, and martially. Once a freedom-loving state, its primary principles now serve the ends of the [[Chaos Lords]], in mind, body, and spirit.

[[:Category:Houses|House]]-wise, Ashtan plays host to a bevy of adventurers, including the [[Esoteric Consortium]], the [[Savants of the Wheel]], and the [[Nemesian Vanguard]]. The city-state is actively guarded by the likes of War Witches, sentries of the Vanguard, Shadow Amazons, thralls of the wheel, demented skyscourges, and Ashtan corsairs.

Just a stride away from the city gates, '''Central Market''' and the surrounding shops are most popular among and readily accessible to tourists and citizens alike. 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. Just outside the '''Merchant's Quarter''', on the east end of '''Market Street''', is the shop '''[[S'dorrah]]''', world-renowned for its trade in precious gems and other exotic goods. Famous also for its extravagant clothing culled from the finest haute couture, this outlet is equally infamous for its exorbitantly matching prices. 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'''.
