Asgartha was connected by railway to Verbera, on the border of the Provinces of Caer Kettria and Caer Arcolano.

234 AC - Completion

After years of hard work, the two construction sites finally converged in Avesta, completing the main trunk line.

Significance

The Transasgarthan Railway represented a major engineering achievement and transformed travel and commerce across the peninsula. The project unified distant regions and facilitated the movement of goods, people, and resources between the major population centers of Asgartha.

The railway connects to The Athanor, the Axiom’s architectural jewel, which has direct access to the Altiport with a marshaling yard and a dozen railway tracks. Trains transport machines to aerostats that disseminate technology throughout the peninsula.
