Old Ascalon

General Description
Region: Ascalon

The area south/west of Ascalon City, once a beautiful land of green hills and lush foliage has been completely ravaged in the Searing by the Charr. This area encompasses most of what was Lakeside County and Green Hills County in pre-Searing. It is now a rough and dry land with almost no plants, only dead rocks and a few thorn scrubs. Fresh water streams have turned into thick lakes of tar. All settlements lie in ruins.
