On the eastern side of the city, across the Accra River, lies the historic '''Cyclade,''' the hill upon which the monastery of the Ashuran monks is seated. The hill originally held the "Minorus Basilica," built by the Church during Shallam's occupation of Ashtan. Easy access to this Basilica was what the Church had in mind when they built the '''Sanctuary Bridge''' across the river. In 172 AF, the Kharon monks took the fortress as their own and, when they moved to Hashan, they took the fortress with them. The Ashuran Monastery took its place. | On the eastern side of the city, across the Accra River, lies the historic '''Cyclade,''' the hill upon which the monastery of the Ashuran monks is seated.

The '''Arboretum of Enlightenment''', '''de Vermiis Art Gallery''', and | The '''Arboretum of Enlightenment''', '''de Vermiis Art Gallery''', and '''Loving Hearts Orphanage''' were all built by the legendary [[Occultist]] [[Servelan de Vermiis]]. The Arboretum contains many strange and exotic plant species. The de Vermiis Art Gallery, while receiving critical praise, has been said by some to depict the Church in an unfair light. The Loving Hearts Orphanage is where children are led to be slaughtered so that their pineal glands might be harvested. | ||
The '''Iron Citadel''' is the former fortress and guildhall of the now-defunct Infernals guild. It was burned down by the angry citizens of Ashtan after the guild rebelled against the city. The guild tutor's magically-preserved head may still be seen piked before its ruins, a testament to potential turncoats. | The '''Iron Citadel''' is the former fortress and guildhall of the now-defunct Infernals guild.
