Editing Setting:Tabula Gloria/Iotold/The Port Town of Winterlight (section)

====The Ashkeep====
Astyn's fortune was indeed vast, especially as he began work on his famous residence, the Ashkeep which was located west of the port proper. It ended up becoming an endeavor which cost many of the townsfolk's lives. Whether it was the noxious fumes rising from the otherwise dormant caldera it was built upon, or the harsh winters in which Astyn demanded his workers to push through, the town's population dropped faster than the temperature there. Fortunately, Astyn didn't run out of workers before the Ashkeep was finished near the end of his life. Yes, Astyn managed to live there for little more than two years before he passed away. Today, it is still the residence of Winterlight's ruler, an example of Imperial elegance combined with frontier ingenuity and strength.
