| - Ashal'Thalas is a small enclave located along the western coast of Ghostlands and is the hereditary seat of House of Sunsong. Established shortly after the arrival of the first Quel'dorei in Quel'Thalas and accessible only via tunnels and select sea routes, Ashal'Thalas is home to Lord Entilzha Sunsong, his family and household. <default></default> Ashal'Thalas Sovereign Barony of Ashal'Thalas Caption Statistics Date Established Government Faction InhabitantsAllegiance
Locations within:
* Ba'ladeni
* Dal'Felo Spire
* Sanctum of Elune
* Seaside Tower
* Sunstrider Mines Spared the worst of the scourge invasion, the magical sanctums and structures of the historically magically adept Sunsong family stand tall, with the ancient Sanctum of Elune at the heart of the territory and Lord Sunsong's personal home. During the early history of Quel'Thalas, some of those those reluctant to abandon the worship of Elune found a haven in Ashal'Thalas, and though Elune worship is uncommon in the present and balanced with Sin'dorei beliefs, a practice adherents refer to as falori, balance, it remains a highly conservative and traditional region even by Quel'Thalas standards. The seaside town of Ba'ladeni is home to most of the enclave's Sin'dorei and Quel'dorei residents, and major industries include fishing, grain production has increased since its falling off elsewhere in the Ghostlands, golems, mining and various magical goods. As House Sunsong began a wider effort to restore the Ghostlands, Ashal'Thalas has served as a vital staging area and base, linked via tunnels to the Dawnstar Spire where House Sunsong is often active on a myriad of pursuits. Only Sin'dorei and Quel'dorei are permitted in Ashal'Thalas, with outsiders prohibited; foreign merchant vessels dock on a small island off the coast and their crews are not permitted to enter the elven enclave. Given its isolation from the rest of Quel'Thalas, some of the older structures within Ashal'Thalas retain what would today be called a Kaldorei feel, most notably a watchtower along the coastline known simply as the "Seaside Tower", its original name lost to the ages.
