The Kingdom of Asheren

The Kingdom of Asheren is the Eastern most Triton kingdom in the Grey Sea. Like most Triton Kingdoms, Asheren is located in a deep ravine on the floor of the sea in a place where the barrier between the Prime Material Plane and the Elemental Plane of Water has become weak. This weakness allows for the flow of Elemental Energy to enter the world and this energy is harnessed and protected by the Triton nobles who founded Asheren.

Structure

The Triton's of Asheren are ruled over by the royal family, Ugarrath, who founded the city in 430 AC. Their rule is absolute, and presented by the Church of Lythus to be divinely ordained. 
The current King, Jarlas Ugarrath, is a wildly popular ruler due to his military victories against the evil Sahaugin that live west of the city. These Sahaugin are the city's greatest enemy, but the organization of the Triton's keep their city well protected from the evil fishmen.

Culture

The core belief of the Tritons of Asheren is that the good of all is the highest goal for any individual. A very close knit community, the Tritons believe strongly in the rule of law and the order provided by their King. 
This orderly system extends from the King through each family and is present in every facet of the culture of Asheren. Each family is led by the eldest male, who has the primary responsibility of making sure his family contributes to the success of the city. This involves him making decisions such as arranged marriages, apprenticeship and assuring that an acceptable portion of his family serves in the city's military regardless of their other work.   
The primary faith of the city is the worship of Lythus, lord of the sea. The priests of Lythus protect the nexus of the city, the point where the elemental infusion of the city is at its strongest.
