Ashmoor

Template:Infobox Regions Ashmoor is a region with a rich and diverse culture. Forming the northeastern most part of the large expanse of plains that begins on the west coast of Darka, Ashmoor stands out among the extreme geography that borders it. Indeed no other region can claim to share borders with the thick forests of central Norland as well as the desolate tundras of the north and the largest chain of mountains on the island of Atamara.

Ashmoor takes it's name from the forests of ash trees that once covered the territory until the forefathers of the region's current inhabitants cleared the forest for farmland. It's role as a way point in the trade of gold from the rich mines of its neighbors has made it an important trading center on the way to Brackhead. This trade has also brought many different groups of people to the region as merchants settle down to start families in Ashmoor. This has given Ashmoor's people a unique culture that blends the hearty nature of the Vikings with the more intellectual attitudes of the people of Eston as well as many other lands. This mix of cultures can be seen in the regions two recruiting centers which churn out both traditional viking spearmen as well as cavalry furnished with steeds brought from the west centuries ago.
