Ash Watch
Ash Watch is the home for the tallest tower the known world, but it wasn't always this way. Once, it was just a keep built on a hill. From the top of it you could see all of the sea of ash. The keep was built to keep watch from monsters so the Ice wood village workers could work in peace. Every time a monster was spotted, the huge Horn on top of the keep was banged, and it blow is as if Kudram himself put his own lips on it.
But some monsters got smart and started building defences that kept the keep eye away from them. Goblinoids and Orcs who built walls or just a made shift hill so the keepers in Ash Watch couldn't see them. First, the monster slayer clans were called upon, which in turn made Ash Watch grow bigger, and second, A taller keep was built. It was the tallest keep in all of Highrune. So tall, it was called "The Ash Watch Tower"
But a dwarven craftsman, Kirkir, wanted to make something grander: A tower, that could see all of the seas, where you would never be surprised by your foes. This tower was built for Allas End, bigger then any light tower it had before. This made the architecture at Ash keep, curious, could you make an even taller Tower? Pleading for the money from the king, "for defences" they said, "so we could see our enemy coming from all four winds". And the king agreed. This tower would be called "The Neverending" as he stood so tall over the others, when you looked up it would seem like you could never see its top.
But bigger towers were still built, The Architectures were Hired by the city of Mamonia, to build an even taller tower. and This, the Mammon Tower, was the tallest, till Enmerrkarr came. He wanted a bigger tower, a full city in a tower for all the Arcane Magic users. And so, a Tower, Fouty six floors (fitting for Goliaths) tall, was built. It was called "The Goliath" as the other towers looked like Dwarfs next to him.
Demographics
Today the city is mostly occupied by Royal Guards, Paladins, Mages, and some monster slayers.
