Avesta
Overview
Avesta is a city in Caer Arcolano with a population of approximately 78,000 inhabitants. Much like Uja, it serves as an agricultural hub.
Agriculture
Instead of specializing in wheat or barley cultivation like other agricultural centers, Avesta’s wealth comes from its vegetable crops and rice cultivation.
Threat from the Fagn
Avesta is threatened by The Fagn, which grows larger each year. Many farmers now prefer to send their produce directly to Verbera rather than braving these strange marshes.
Transportation
Avesta is known as the location where the junction of the Transasgarthan railway occurred, making it an important node in Asgartha’s transport network.
Muna Gateway
For the Muna, Avesta serves as a gateway to Kirighai during their pilgrimages within the Katkera and the Silg.
