Highcrest

The Anthrakis Forge

Located in the center of Ashera, the Anthrakis Forge is run by a Phoenix named Zeraketh Hollins, a blacksmith who is often recognized as the most skilled weaponsmith in the modern age. He is notoriously isolationist and antisocial, caring only for his craft, but his works are some of the only modern creations that can rival Progenitor Artifacts.
Unless you are requesting custom orders, most will instead conduct business through an Atelidae named Donnel, Hollins's apprentice, and defacto accountant. When customers are in need of anything other than Hollins's "Masterworks", they'll instead turn to Donnel.

The Oasis Spa

A luxurious bathhouse located in the northern portion of Highcrest. Prices tend to be a bit pricey for most, however, you will not find higher-quality spas or baths anywhere else in the city.

Stalwart Academy

A fairly prestigious magical academy located just south of Castle Valheart. The academy is funded through tuition fees, as well as donations from the major economic forces in Ashera.

The Ashera Theater

The Ashera Theater is one of the most prestigious venues in all of Ferox. Artists and troupes from across the continent dream of performing at this theater. Performances are cycled/scheduled based entirely on the whims of Akane Hanako.

FLORA

Like most major cities, Ashera houses a guildhall for FLORA. It is located just north of the south gate, and though larger than most other guild halls, this one operates nearly identically to others. The Kata who runs this particular branch favors fine, loose-fitting silk robes, but presents themself with a slightly more masculine aesthetic than a good portion of their siblings. Most would probably put them around 56 years old.

The Ulgram Bank

Located in the center of Highcrest, the Ulgram bank is the most reliable depository for money and valuables, with locations found throughout the continent. Individuals with an account can deposit any amount of money or items for a small fee that is determined based on the value of the item. Once done so, they can retrieve their deposits from any other established bank on the continent.
