Ascalon City (Post-Searing)

Description
''The largest city and cultural center of the now-ruined empire. Ascalon City is one of the only two remaining in the entire kingdom. Though the buildings have fallen and the cathedrals are a shambles, the people here live on in the shadow of what once was.''

Trivia

 * Ascalon City was called "Khylo" in early beta tests of the game.
 * Ascalon City is named after a real Middle Eastern city of the same name, which was razed to the ground then rebuilt on multiple occasions during the Crusades. Finally, during the Third Crusade, ancient Ascalon was abandoned and destroyed by its own people to prevent it from falling into the hands of Richard the Lion-hearted. (A subtle reference might be made in the 'Lionguard', etc.) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashkelon
