their descendants. Nephilim, Eldar, fey, and even mortal folk live in this strange city.

## History:

Much of the history is unknown, with the plane simply existing since the beginning of recorded history, being mentioned by even the ancient Aldeans, in a few of their reports that have been gathered by the Council.

What we know of the plane's early history is violent waring between the factions and the dead going restless

It is known that an entity known as Nherit united the factions of the plane into a powerful pact whos laws dictated the purpse of each guild turing them into a cohesive system to keep the city running abd around this time the Angel Azreil finaly arrived and sent some of his Reapers to deal with the unattended souls but their still is much of a delay for souls to pass on and a courter for the waiting ghosts was built to house them while they waited

The Council itself found it due to the effort of Danson Mekil Aldean Planeswalker, and Council founder who rediscovered this plane for the council. Despite this, the masters of this plane dislike the council's presence, making their presence in the city limited.

During the Silence of Nara, a Homunculus known as Avana Holdwin designed to travel the cosmos visited the City of Rings and stayed their for some time.

Havasta Corporation built an observatory in the city with the strange master's permission and the group would remain there until the Havasta Incident when it along with the rest of Havasta Corp was disbanded after the destruction of their main facility.

Unnamed the Hybrid would settle there to escape from the Horned Ones, eventually inhabiting the ruins of the old Havasta observatory.

In the Year 2005 of the Era of Sorrows, the Elder Dragon Dirth Nerku attempted to claim power over the plane first through intrigue then through the use of an undead army of his own making, many powers of the city were killed, including the city's master Nherit who was killed early in the fighting. Many Planeswalkers fought in the battle and many were killed as the dragon took the fallen's power for his own.

He was eventually defeated when his own second in command Lillian Kozak betrayed him taking control of his undead army and sending them against his followers soon he was captured by his rivals among the Horned ones who striped him of his powers giving him to the dragon Izzak who took both his seat on that council and as leader of the city plane of Ashala.

## Inhabitants:

The City-Plane is a home to many people who have fled the mortal dimension, and those who descend from such people. Nephilim escaping from those who would hunt them for their celestial blood, Planeswalkers who found this place and decided to make roots here, Asoriel fleeing the devastation of their eternal realm, and many mages hiding from Council and Imperium alike, most notable are the Ashalan Caretakers, strange beings who do the Maintenance of the City.

The city is also home to many ghosts, souls waiting to pass into the afterlife they dwell in what is known as the Ghost Quarter.

The master of the city for thousands of years was known as Nherit until her death early in the War of Sparks and Dragons and she was replaced by the rouge blue dragon Izzak.

The City is run by a group of formerly competing factions that were united by Nherit for the greater good of the dimension. They are as follwes.

The Assembly of Nherit : The ruling body of Ashala

The Enforcers: Ashala's police force.

The Believers of Justace: A religious order dedicated to the defense of the plane.
