Ashend is one of the major cities of the Ravus Empire.
- Geography: A polluted city in the southern marshes of Ravus’ northern highlands, with rusted towers and toxic sludge. The Entropic Well, an Eclipsa-blessed Aetheric font, radiates chaotic decay, choking rivers, accessible via marsh boats.
- Culture: Orcs, goblins, and tieflings honor Eclipsa, the Void Maiden and Lyssera during the Sixth Umbral and Third Astral Moons. Ashend trades necrotic relics, valuing power.
Key Features
- Entropic Well
