Ander
North of Rathgar and high on bluffs that overlook the Darsiac Ocean, Ander is a small farming community that stands on its own in northern Azermathia. With little to offer the rest of the world beyond fields of rice and pastures of sheep, the village is little more than a few craftsmen and an inn that have sprung up around the farms in the area. Started nearly a century ago by those with a frontier spirit that were fed up with the growing density of Rathgar, people in Ander are hardy and generally good hearted, understanding that it is only through supporting the community that the new village will survive. Many consider themselves Rathgarans but those that don't have no strong feelings on the subject other than the wry observation that those in Rathgar seldom think of the far flung village.
Over the years a few wells have been sunk into the village green and even a small chapel to Chetria has been added to the cooper, tanner, and blacksmith shops that surround it. Through the aid of a pair of travelling Khadric stonemasons the villagers have even had stairs carved into the cliffs, leading fifty feet down to a small beach where a single dock in a cove has been erected. Deep enough for a small fishing vessel, a few villagers have begun to take advantage of the sea to augment their subsistence farms.
