Ashkyos was a city on the Ashen River in north central Khul and a haven for many peoples and races.[1]

Description[]

The city was currently ruled by the dictator Marshal Lakatos.[2]

Ashkyos was one of the cities located on the Great Northern Trade Route. [3]

Ashkyos was a violent and almost lawless city, similar to Kharé or Port Blacksand.[4]

Geography[]

It was divided into a number of districts:

  • the shops;
  • the warehouses;
  • entertainers square;
  • the markets;
  • the docks; and
  • the Old Quarter.[5]

The Old Quarter[]

The infamous Old Quarter was distinguished by its rowdy drinking dens, gambling houses and even more dubious establishments lining filthy thoroughfares. It was frequented by drunks and wide-eyed smokers of suspicious-looking water-pipes.[6]

The Markets District[]

In the Markets District the merchants buy and sell all kinds of wares; everything from food and fabrics to basilisk-skin cloaks, kegs of guursh, and magical pots and pans that clean themselves.

The merchants are varied in the origins. humans, dwarfs, elves, the odd furtive gnome, man-orc and even a lizard man peddling patent medicines and necklaces of shark's teeth for charms, could be found there.[7]

Crime[]

The city is a hive of crime with many a footpad roaming its streets. The infamous Ashkyos Guard was of little comfort, being a particularly corrupt and unforgiving institution. Some of its captains happened to be man-orcs.

Sport[]

In Ashkyos, sport is an important part of life with the Gladiatorial Park dominating Entertainer's Square, a throwback to Kabeshian influence perhaps.[8]

Population[]
