Despite the danger, Ashterpur is a common stop for trade ships, travelling between Calgern Port and Noverok. It is used as stop to rest and pick up fresh supplies, though visitors rarely stay long, with many sailors preferring to not leave the ship, or even skip docking at Ashterpur due to it's stranger atmosphere.
