Ashire, the bustling capital of Fisela, lies where the Sela River widens into the sea, its wharves and markets humming with the sounds of trade. With a population of around twelve thousand, the city thrives as the kingdom’s chief port and gateway to the wider world. Known throughout Iskitaan as the “Livestock City,” Ashire’s docks are lined with pens and warehouses, the air thick with the bleating of sheep, the lowing of cattle, and the salt tang of the ocean. Barges and ferries bring animals downriver from the pastoral heartland of Fisela, while ships from foreign realms dock to load hides, wool, and salted meats bound for distant markets.
The city itself is a mix of practical industry and quiet prosperity. The riverbanks are lined with stockyards, tanneries, and wool-houses, while the upper streets hold tidy stone homes, guildhalls, and the headquarters of wealthy trading families who have built their fortunes on livestock commerce. Towering above the port stands the Council Hall, seat of Fisela’s Hereditary Council, where Prime Minister Isambard Striker directs both the city and the wider kingdom. Striker’s pragmatic governance and strong hand in trade negotiations have kept Ashire prosperous, ensuring Fisela’s exports flow steadily even amid the upheavals of the Regency Wars. For all its earthy scents and practical reputation, Ashire is a city of influence—one whose prosperity rests on flocks and herds, yet whose political weight reaches far beyond the Sela’s waters.
