Ashfield

At the centre of this town is a small garden of with several ash trees, the only ones of their kind for 10s of miles, the people of the town seem to have gravitated to them as something unique and special to be preserved.

The town also plays host to the Twin University of Arcane Studies. Famous for its abilities to teach magic to anyone that shows even the slightest potential in the arcane arts most of the town's own young people attend for free and it has become something of a taboo to not have arcane abilities. Many families will make excuses for those children and send them away to learn elsewhere or other skills.

The town is run a council of wizards, headed by the most powerful wizards of the university, Lord and Lady Oakheart. Having a small family of their own, 2 sons, the elder of the 2 Nevin Oakheart who not much is known about kept away from much of the town for most of his life. The younger, Tyen Oakheart who is something of a prodigy at the university he is the talk of the town and many believe he will be a wizard that will surpass his parents.

The Lord and Lady have final say over the rulings that are passed in the town and deal with the most serious misuses of magic. Often they will send their students out into the world to deal with the many misuses that occur in the world, they do this as a means to fund the town and keep it running as it has little to export beyond this.
