The Qerstead
Leader Tohmtesh, the Tash'la governor
Founder Ahmtesh, the Builder
Discoverer unknown


The village of Qerstead is a tash'la settlement, its silver domes glittering in sunlight and shadow alike. Home to a variety of traders, warriors, and travellers from the tash'la people, it is but an outpost upon their vast world on the plane of Bjarndyr. Yet it is from here that the Ten Tribes choose to venture forth upon the branches of the World Tree, skilled warriors and deadly hunters in the service of whatever cause they might claim.

Geography

The village of Qerstead is nestled in the hills bordering the great plains of the Kelstaad.

Structures

The village is a place of domes, thatched and silver, sitting upon squat bases. Structures include:

History

The Qerstead was first settled by Ahmtesh, the Builder, as a meeting point and an expeditionary base towards outward exploration of the branches of the Yggdrasil and it was from here that the tash'la first discovered the entrance to oher planes. Modern tash'la who discovered the nature of nearby dormium reserves began extensive mining of the mineral after contact and trade began with the Elemental Plane of Earth. Believing it a miraculous product from the earth elementals they applied its mutagenic powers to their lives, consuming it in great quantities. Within a few generations young tash'la changed, becoming stronger, and now sporting crystalline hair and geode limb joints. The elder tash'la who objected to the addiction mocked and shunned the transformation of their offspring for years before the mutants wrested control of the Qerstead in an event known as the Freeing. Survivors of the old caste were few, and became exiled from their ancestral homeland on other worlds and planes.
