Astofen was surrounded by a thick wooden palisade with towers at each corner and hoardings that protected a walkway and gave a good firing position for spear throwing. [1a]
Government
When Sigmar was a youth, the chieftain, Eadhelm [1c] was a distant cousin of the king Björn. [1b]
History
The town was attacked by Orcs & Goblins leading to the Battle of Astofen Bridge.
