Forst Reach is the home of the Ashkevron family, lords of the holding. There is a village and a manor house. The Ashkevron Manor originally began as a fortified keep, but was renovated by Herald-Mage Vanyel's grandfather, Lord Joserlin Ashkevron.
Lord Withen Ashkevron, Joserlin's son and Vanyel's father, gave in to the pressure of his ever-growing clan, and began adding on to the manor during the reign of King Randale. He added two wings, one to the center building, and had a third underway during Vanyel's last visit home.
Centuries later, during the reign of King Roald, descendant Kemoc Ashkevron had difficulties with his obstreperous horses at Forst Reach, and got help from Tarma to train them to the plow.[1]
