Asham is a town in Dragon Quest III. 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

Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation

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 king 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.
