Asthema

Seat
of the last great empire seated in Shalemdel. 
After a small revolution within the city, they have now established a
democratic monarchy.  Under this new
rule, the city has been fully restored and has expanded rapidly outward.  To aid this expansion, they have become horse
mongers, and have even begun trade with the West.  It is currently contending Karak for control
of Farmist
Now
much of the city has been remade with more temporary accommodations, after the
main structure was destroyed in the final sacking of the city.  It is now a free city leading to a takeover
by trade moguls while also attracting dangerous and adventuring types alike.
