Ascore
Town in The Silver Marches
Ascore is an abandoned dwarven port at the edge of the desert of Anauroch, built on a sea that dried up long ago.
Great dwarven arches rise over a dry harbour, and stone quays face an endless sea of sand where water once lapped.

Overview
Ascore lies on the eastern edge of the Silver Marches, with the Arn Forest close by and the sands of Anauroch just to the south-east. It was once a port of the dwarven kingdom of Delzoun on an inland sea, but the sea vanished and the city was left high and dry.
Its ruins, with their huge stone arches and empty quays, attract explorers looking for dwarven treasure and the lost secrets of Delzoun.

- A dwarf scholar is convinced that the vault of Ascore's harbourmaster was never found.
