✤ Spirit of Bayan ✤
deriving from the Filipino word, Bayanihan; "the Bayanihan spirit is one of communal unity, helping others without expecting rewards, to achieve a certain goal."
Welcome to Bayan
A humble town, which isn't exactly small or large, Bayan is located on the south coast of the region. Bayan used to be a bustling town for family-run businesses. But now, besides watching the ships come and go with goods, the town is relatively uneventful. Due to the lack of development in the town, Bayan has seen many of its oldest lineages slowly disappear as the younger generations uproot and depart for greater opportunities in the surrounding cities. Also, with not many visitors from beyond its gates, the port that Bayan is attached to is the only thing keeping the place on the map. It's only a matter of time before the independence of Bayan's citizens is threatened to be seized by the officials of a powerful city looking to take over the land, on which Bayan sits, for their own profits. It's now all up to the remaining citizens to keep their town alive.

Bayan
╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤ ✤ ╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤
╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤ ✤ ╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤╤
__✤ Overview
Over the last couple of decades, the port town has seen it's livelihood decline massively, as development in it's neighbouring cities surpassed its own. Because of this the younger generations of it's oldest lineages have left Bayan to seek opportunities that their hometown can no longer offer. Without any visitors from outside its gates, local buisnesses are dying, the port being the only thing keeping Bayan on the map. Struggling with the declining economy, the Mayor of Bayan left town to "negotiate" with Bayan's neighbours. However, it's been weeks now, and with no word from the Mayor, rumours are beginning to spread suggesting that he may be trying to sell the land and everything on it instead, threatening the independence of the locals.
__✤ Areas
✤ The Town Hall - Monthly meetings used to be held here where the town's residents would be free to express their opinions and suggestions to improve the local businesses. But since the Mayor left, there has not been a meeting of such. An errands board can also be found here: have a job to do, but no time to do it? Need a bit of extra gold in your pocket? Here would be the place to look.
✤ The Cathedral - Asherah (pronounced: 'ah'-'sheer'-'ah'), also known as "she who walks on the sea", is the Goddess that is worshipped here. The cathedral also doubles as a hospital, with many of the convents being masters in healing magic. It is always open to the public for those to pray, confess, or receive blessings, and they are free to do this whether or not they believe in a divine being, without judgment.
✤ Bayan Academia - Whether you're wanting to master a weapon or magic, the Academia is open to all. Located within the large castle-like building in the northeast of Bayan, the training dojo can be found in the center-most room, whilst the surrounding four towers contain other resources, including a library, alchemy lab, astrology lab, and an infirmary (just in case).
✤ The Drunken Sailor Inn - Back in the more lively days, the inn would be packed, popular with the sailors transporting goods, often opting to stay the night drinking away before leaving hung over early the following morning. These days, the place doesn't seem to get much busier than the handful of regular locals that come in for a drink or two. The pier just outside is infamously named 'The Plank', due to the many reports of sailors, whilst under the heavy influence of alcohol, falling/jumping off the edge.

__✤ Introduction
"I adore the ocean. The sea breeze is quite invigorating."
— Asherah.
Ashe is the current vessel of the Goddess, Asherah.
Whilst Asherah is, technically, thousands of years old, her vessel appears to only be somewhere in its early twenties. Ashe is a new arrival in Bayan, currently residing at The Drunken Sailor Inn, under the guise of wanting a simple getaway from her role as a high-ranking warrior from the city. Her favourite place to visit in Bayan is the docks at night, and wading in the moonlit ocean.
__✤ Appearance
WIP
( both physical appearance and personality can go here )
__✤ Combat Information
"Everyone fails at who they are supposed to be.
The measure of a person... is how well they succeed at being who they are."
— Asherah.
Being within a vessel will not dilute Asherah's omnipotence - that is something she must consciously decide to do. As a primordial entity, Asherah possesses immeasurable supernatural strength and power, including the ability to warp reality to her whims.
Lunar Manipulation is just one of her main abilities, meaning that Asherah can create, shape, and manipulate all aspects of the moon, and use its lunar energy. Furthermore, Asherah can turn lunar energy into tools, objects, weapons, and other items, as well as, create constructs of varying permanence.
Water Manipulation is the ability that Ashe is most often witnessed using. Asherah has the capability to control the rivers, lakes, and even oceans on earth, as well as use that power to cause megatsunamis that swallow up countries. She claims she could recreate all Ten Great Plagues of Egypt if she wanted, and even send a new Global Flood, only without an ark this time.
Both Ashe and Asherah are proficient in using polearm-type weapons, with Ashe's signature weapon being a duel-ended silver spear, inlaid with dark sapphires.
