Asgarth
A working harbour, market city and departure point for dangerous sea roads.
History and position
Asgarth grew where inland roads meet a usable southern harbour. Its walls protect trade rather than isolating the city, and its inns and docks bring soldiers, refugees and merchants together. This settlement is shown in its controlling map position, and the Atlas keeps later interpretation separate from what the map or manuscripts already establish.
Land, work and movement
A working harbour, market city and departure point for dangerous sea roads. Its roads, waterways, seasonal conditions and neighbouring terrain would shape how people travel, work and defend themselves. The details shown here are a working foundation for later stories, not a claim that every custom has already been fixed in canon.
Essan and political pressure
Any Essan discovery here would immediately raise questions of custody, access and outside influence. Local authorities would need to distinguish genuine scholarship from relic hunting, while Myaks could exploit disputed borders, private ambition or incomplete records. Manuscript-established city with working civic history.
