In 5312 DE disease broke out in the Nehw'eril District an industrial section in the D'ni cavern. The district was in close proximity to the D'ni city so the sickness spread quickly. In the aftermath there was a push to establish a new industrial district further away from the city that could protect from further illnesses being brought in from the Ages.
In 5475 DE construction on the Uran District began during the reign of King Me'emen. The district opened in 5500 DE and the first imports from the Ages started to arrive.
In 5540 DE King Me'emen's son, Ashem, became ill. Ashem was a member of the Guild of Healers and was often among the first to investigate new Ages to make sure of their safety. After a period of 6 months Ashem died from his illness. King Me'emen considered the actions of his son to be heroic and in memorial to him renamed the district to Ashem'en.
During the reign of King Lanaren a new district adjacent to Ashem'en was developed. The Lanaren District served has a housing area for workers of the Ashem'en district.
Prior to The Fall Guildmaster Kadish operated a silo within the Ashem'en District. The silo was connected to the grainary Age of Er'cana and was used to test the pellets that were manufactured there. The pellets were created to help heal the ailing algae within the D'ni lake and to further Kadish's aspirations to become The Grower spoken of within verses Words.
Appearance
Whilst the Ashem'en District is large as it stands visitors can only access a small section known as the Silo or Er'cana Silo.
The silo is a small area enclosed by a large wall. A metal balcony sits over the top of a pool of D'ni lake water. Upon this balcony sits a machine that measures the potency of pellets brought through from Er'cana. After measuring the pellets it then ejects them into the water below so the effects upon the algae can be observed.
A metal ladder leads up to the second level of the silo where another metal balcony resides. From this area visitors can get a partial view of the D'ni cavern and Ae'gura in the distance through a gap in the wall. Opposite to this gap there is a heavy metal door that almost resembles and airlock which leads to other areas of the Ashem'en District. This door is sealed and currently does not allow access to the rest of the district to the explorer community.
