Nordat Caravan, the 'Wandering City' Nordat is the closest thing to a Capital that Ascen has, a truly massive caravan that travels across the Northern Wastes, accompanying the current leader of the nation. Known as the Wandering City for it's tendency to come and go in the night, Nordat appears as a great sprawl of tents and temporary structures, a mass of bright red and orange fabric covering the normally barren landscape. It is here that the council of merchants holds its meetings, gathering within a massive fortress-like tent near the center of the sprawl. A number of mercenary guilds travel with the caravan, but it's known for being the place where the most skilled tradesmen in the nation gather. |

Tarken Caravan, the 'Phantom Bazaar' One of Ascen's many nomadic groups, the Phantom Bazaar is notorious for being hard to track down; taking strange and twisting paths across Ascen that are only known by those who frequent the settlement. Compared to the glory of Nordat, Tarken Caravan is a much more... seedy locale. Many of the tents and stalls are merely scrapped together from whatever's on hand and there is very little organization to it's set up. While having a very large population of mercenaries and outlaws from other nations, the caravan is mostly known for it's large black market. There's no better place to find something you're looking for, so long as you keep your wits about you; this is a dangerous place to be. |

Frozen Wastes Because there are almost no permanent settlements in Ascen, most of the nation is made up of a vast tundra. While there is an abundance of flat open spaces, not all of the tundra looks the same. Natural wells of magic across the land often release in vents, forming enormous twisted masses of ice and snow that sometimes stretch hundreds of feet into the air. These strange structures are a beautiful sight to behold, latent magical energy causing the crystals to glow with an unearthly light. While Caravans do frequently use these as landmarks and resting places, areas with large amounts of vents tend to attract powerful monsters. |
