Overview:
The community of Ashfordton is located at the base of a mountain, on a secluded
ocean inlet, surrounded by rugged, forested land covered with spruce and fir
trees. The only access to the city is by ferry or plane; no roads connect it to other
communities in the region. Winters are wet, mild, and long, with limited sunlight
due to its location so far north. The city serves as the capital for the state of New
Grammarly. The city is renowned for its scenic beauty; tall mountains capped by
glaciers can be seen from the downtown. Tourism is a significant source of
revenue. Fishing is still important to the community, although it is an occupation
for only a very small fraction of the citys residents.
