Town of Astera

Last updated: November 10, 2025

The Town of Astera can sometimes feel cold and indifferent to new folk. The town is in a valley near snow-capped mountains filled with jagged trails buffetted by ancient winds. An old forest is just outside of town. Orcish warbands have been sweeping across the countryside.

  • Amber Bearkin is member of the Bearkin Clan that roam and hunt outside the mountain, instead of living inside the dwarven stronghold within.
  • Rollo Moonrock has become one with the green, and thrives in the forest.
  • The Trip Away Inn and Outdoor Market is a few days out of town.

    Astera's Town Square

  • Used to train and muster the town's militia.
  • Street urchins and thugs roam the streets all over Astera.
  • Tharivol, an old half-blind elven ranger keeps an eye on things, as does his protege Himo.

    Avery's Novel Little Bookshop

  • A quaint, lantern-lit shop tucked between leaning chimneys
  • Crooked shelves are filled with tomes - scrolls bound in dragonhide, journals inked with starlight, words that hummed with forgotten power.
  • Avery recently acquired a new assistant, Weaver Bigfoot.
  • Has a book stall at the Outdoor Market next to the Trip Away Inn.

    Banner's Brokerage

  • Banner's Brokerage is run by Banner, a dwarven merchant, who has a bad reputation.
  • He recently scammed Dreet the Kobold Bard and Dwarf Friend out of her beer equipment by taking her money but refusing to deliver the goods.
  • He also had three goons to help him collect "protection" fees from nearby shops.
  • He was recently arrested by the towns guard after his thugs confessed and implicated him after a recent encounter with a group of adventurers.
  • Banner curses those bunch of random dudes as he stews in his jail cell, especially the one called "The Grimm".

    Overcobble Pub

  • This is a run down building in need of significant repairs before it can host patrons.
  • It is run by Dreet the Kobold Bard and Dwarf Friend and her tribe of kobolds.
  • They recently had the adventurers clear out a rat and spider problem from the cellar.
  • Those same adventurers got their beer equipment back from Banner, the criminal dwarven merchant.
  • Now that they have their own place the Undercobble tribe can now proudly be called the Overcobble tribe.
  • Dreet has promised those bunch of random dudes free drinks for life at the Overcobble Pub - once they are open.
  • Dreet has a special fondness for Amber Bearkin, as she protected her in her time of need and helped fulfill her tribes dream.

    Mayor of Astera

  • The Mayor of Astera can muster the town's militia when needed.
  • He recently drafted a bunch of random dudes and sent them out on patrol where they dealt with a group of outcast and cowardly orc raiders outside of town.

    Tinkers' Guild

  • The Tinkers' Guild has many members.
  • Zorlan d'Cannith is one of the Guildmasters
  • Drakara Lonewalker is an apprentice
