Culture and Locations
Asshor is a kingdom in northeastern Remdor. It is ruled by a mystic king and its main religion is Mysticism, which dictates that the heavens contain all the answers to life's problems. Asshor also has a presence of followers of the Red Temple (Abadorian Creed), which believes in a dichotomy of powers -- of good versus evil forces -- and this belief mostly originates from the fact that Red Temple was the heart of early Vastion culture after the Darkness. They are typically seen as self-righteous, believing that they know the answers to complex problems, or can find them simply by observing the heavens. The capital is Leruzin.
Asshor is mostly taiga but has some temperate forest along its southern and eastern shores. The Taiva flows through Vorgebar and Wheniat. Its shores meet the Ambelia Ocean.
