Capital Description: Ashencleft is an ancient city, its walls and great structures carved into the face of Mount Ash. The unique make and location allows for only one entrance into the city, a wide pass with a moderate incline. The single pass lends the city great advantages during wartime, and great grievances from visiting diplomats. Despite the isolated nature of the city, its inhabitants are largely satisfied, and enjoy the privileges of a highly sophisticated sewer system.

Social Dynamics: Eschscholzia prides itself on its military achievements. Due to the warlike nature of its people, a very unstable relationship exists between Eschscholzia and the church. In the past, the kings of Eschscholzia have proven unruly, intoxicated by the fumes of their own military might. Eschscholzian warriors are renowned for their skill and prowess in battle, and a sellsword of Eschscholzian descent can run for a hefty amount of coin.
