'''Aster Keep''' is all that remains of the [[Seleucar|Seleucarian]] province of [[Aster Malik]]. When the [[continent]] of [[Meropis]] was sundered from [[Sapience]], the duchy of Aster Malik also destroyed, leaving only the keep on a spit of land which is now called the [[Asterian Peninsula]]. The way to the keep was barred to outsiders until the year 772 AF when the wayward spirit of [[Adchachel]] possessed the body of [[O'ising]], the shaman of [[Aran'riod]].

O'ising, possessed by Adchachel, wandered to his home of Ashtan where he was informed that he was long dead and his [[Occultist]] guild was no more, which confused the spirit. Adchachel learned that a mortal, [[Tesha]] al Ashtad, held the legendary [[Staff of Nicator]] and assumed her a thief. Enraged, Adchachel persued Tesha all the way to Aster Keep on Meropis where he cornered her in his old laboratory, where he unexpectedly was met with a force of adventurers who burned him alive, reenacting his original death years ago.

Aster Keep is the ancestral seat of the former Seleucarian province of Aster Malik.

History

Aster Malik was historically the possession of Pannelia Malik, one of the wives of Nicator, passed down through the generations.

For long years the ducal throne of Aster Malik had been filled by stalwart, true defenders of keep, town, and duchy. Supported by the inimitable arm of authority that was the Knightly Order of Aster Malik, peace had reigned within the Aster walls for near nine centuries since the fall of Seleucar; longer, truly, than the age of that venerable empire itself. This all changed when the death of Duke Pontelius Aurachias Mauvellio Aster led to a crisis of inheritance among the inhabitants. Whilst its castle cleric sought answers from the Divine, its guard captain sent letters to the knights of the realm. A solution came in the reestablishment of the Guild of Knights to serve as new protectorate of the Aster Town.
