This is part of an ongoing series that takes a look at the website
homes of some of the groups and nations that make up the Realms.
While a relatively young nation, Ashenmark has really made a name for themselves, both as excellent fighters and as reliable to have with you on an adventure. Likewise, their website is new, but it is still full of good information on their nation. If you have ever wondered what Ashenmark is or who their people are, this is an excellent introduction.
From their Arcanum heading under Lore...
"
As of 1010 when Ashenmark was founded little is known about the
Emberwood. This large section of forest is where Ashenmark gets its
name, for the acres of burning trees. Flames can be found scattered
across the some of charred trees where leaves once grew, and other trees
glow with appear to be embers in the nooks of the blackened bark."
Their People heading has some excellent character histories...
