==Overview==
It located southeast of [[Romaria]] and sits in the shadow of an immense mountain chain, which in correspondence to the real world would place it around Iraq.
Asham is one of only a few towns to be quite busy at night. In addition to having a dancing club and a fortune teller open at night, it also has a weapons and armor shop only open at night.


A lone [[Imp]] appears in the upstairs section of the building locked with a [[Magic Key]] door at night, it's [[Morph]] spell and cat disguise having worn off.

===Magic Key required===
The older brother of the Isis minister lives in a townhouse locked behind a door that requires the [[Magic Key]] to enter. He waxes philosophically about water being the lifeblood and mankind, but also gives first-time players the direct hint that to enter the eastern lands they will need the [[Royal Missive]] from the [[Portogus Rex]] of [[Portoga]]. A lone [[Imp]] appears in the upstairs section of the building locked with at night, it's [[Morph]] spell and cat disguise having worn off. It will start a battle when confronted, but why it is there is never explained.

Asham is a town in Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation.

It located southeast of Romaria and sits in the shadow of an immense mountain chain, which in correspondence to the real world would place it around Iraq.

Asham is a rest point before venturing through the harsh desert to reach Isis and the Pyramid. It is close to the left entrance of Nordy's Grotto, through which the player must pass to reach Baharata.

Appearances[edit | edit source]

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation[edit | edit source]

Asham is one of only a few towns to behave an active night life. In addition to having a dancing club and a fortune teller open at night, it also has a weapons and armor shop only open at night.

The older brother of the Isis minister lives in a townhouse locked behind a door that requires the Magic Key to enter. He waxes philosophically about water being the lifeblood and mankind, but also gives first-time players the direct hint that to enter the eastern lands they will need the Royal Missive from the Portogus Rex of Portoga. A lone Imp appears in the upstairs section of the building locked with at night, it's Morph spell and cat disguise having worn off. It will start a battle when confronted, but why it is there is never explained.
