Asturcia

Asturcia is a town in the east of Eskarya, and ancestral seat of the former Beggar King of Asturcia.

Description
Asturcia was founded in 3EF by the Empire of Eskarya, following their expanse into the eastern territories and annexation of lands from the remaining people of Khokkolun.

A large town and most prominent within the region, the ruins of the old town were successfully restored and the treasures, texts and lost lore of the Beggar King's territories were placed into the hands of the Conclave of Arcanum and the Empire.

Government
Formed as a feudal state under the territories of the Empire, the seat of Asturcia and the fealty of its vassals would later be granted to Otto d'Lyrandar for his service to the Empire of Eskarya, developing weapons, warforged, elemental galleons and eventually the first airship of its kind in Elysia.

Culture
Perhaps one of the more forgiving settlements in Eskarya, Asturcia has held certain traditions of the Beggar-King. Half-Orcs and Dragonborn of the Empire were quick to move to Asturcia and Erutus in the years proceeding the War of the Temporal Avulsion.

Fangs of the Beggar King
Within the town of Asturcia, a faction has grown in size over the past fifty years, called the Fangs of the Beggar King. Its leader dubbed the Beggar King, they seeks to restore freedoms to the land that has been descended from Kingdom to Dukedom. They had initially formed a political party in Eskarya, seeking the right to hold a referendum to become the Soverign State of Asturcia. But without noble backing, the cause would not proceed and its outspoken and public leaders were quickly dealt with by the Empire.

The Fangs of the Beggar King are now an established crime syndacite, though more commonly referred to as Treason Terrorists, who seeking to destroy the peace within the Empire.
