Capital[ | ]

Vaskrheim[ | ]
To the south of Askr is an ancient abandoned temple known as Vaskrheim, where the divine weapon Breidablik was once sealed away. It is also the location where Brave Heroes appear, called to Askr by a legendary rite held in the Summoner's world.
Eternal Sanctum[ | ]
In the western part of Askr is an ancient ruin known as the Eternal Sanctum, where the Rite of Awakening for Askr takes place. At the bottom, a stone slab in ancient Askran was found in the shrine, allowing the Order of Heroes to create a Sacred Seal Forge.
Unnamed shrine[ | ]
Further west of the Eternal Sanctum is another shrine, where the Rite of Awakening for Embla takes place. The layout of this place is described by Anna to be similar to the Eternal Sanctum. At the bottom, writing from the Emblian Empire was found in a stone slab, allowing the Order of Heroes to create a Weapon Refinery.
Tower of Heaven[ | ]
In the northern part of Askr is the Tower of Heaven, which was invaded by Princess Veronica in Xenologue 2: The Brink of Chaos to shroud the world in the Tempest.
