Ashe
Ashe is a small town on the edge of the Ashen Forest. It is used primarily by hunters and fur traders who often delve into the dangerous forest to hunt exotic game. It is also situated on the River of Daggers which give them access to markets from Helletown, Allachi and Westinox. Though not a very popular town for travelers it's location often gives those moving up and down the river a place to rest or weather a storm.
Government
The current governor of the region is an older dwarven man named Copias Irongut. He is a former warrior and standard bearer for a powerful dwarven house in the Urgolos Hold by the name of House Ironweld. He is over 250 years old at this point and retired from fighting when he helped the town of Ashe fight off a band of Ogres 35 years ago. He was feted with the title of town sheriff and eventually moved to governor when the town once again fought a take over by House Quail in 2969.
