Rastein is an archeological town in the foothills of the shale-laden Slatetop Mountains. Due to its relative proximity to the Stein, the town has the largest Malkari population in the Tritos Dominion. Most of the residents of Rastein spend their days hunting for relics thought lost to time. Between the Emerald Wood and the mountains, the land is gorgeous but fraught with risk. The town is built inside the site of a large excavation consisting of three rings with streets between each ring. The buildings are mostly adobe-styled structures, tents, and teepees. The Crown of Ania, which helped fund the expedition, has a few more modern structures that stand as a stark difference to the town's other homes.
