Aristes was a small Imperial town near the southwest coast of lower Imperial Ossiria. It once served as the primary entry and exity point into southern Imperial Ossiria from the Free Wastes. However, in Year 128 of Man, it was destroyed by Ralis Xilos Eran, a mad Inquisitor, with the help of an Imperial Century whom he had deceived. Survivors of its destruction moved to the nearby town of Dania, which now occupies its position as a frontier Imperial town.
