	The most infamous incident in Ashton's history was the case of Sacha Karlov, the Butcher of Bradsbury St. In the 1950s, the city was terrorized by a lone serial killer. With a total of twelve bodies, police had scoured Ashton in search of the culprit. Eventually after a witness was able to identify him. They chased Karlov into the catacombs. Three men, two police officers and a volunteer deputy, were slain but Karlov was eventually killed when he fell into a dilapidated part of the catacomb's infrastructure. Rumors continue to claim that the Butcher haunts the catacombs to this day.

	In recent history, Ashton has become home to its own [[Protectorate]] team. The [[PHQ\|HQ]] was established in 1987 by the hero [[Cogknight]]. A statue commemorating the day stands proudly in front of the building. A claymore with a cog sword guard embedded straight down into an anvil, the entire thing itself shines brightly of gold, copper, and brass, and doubles as a sundial.

	Historically, Ashton's economy has centered around reclamation of natural resources. Founded in the height of the Gold Rush, the rich hills surrounding the city made a lot of rich people richer, and when the metal ran out, logging took its place. Today this remains somewhat, although changing economic times have left lumber in decline in Ashton as well as across the Pacific Northwest.

Today this remains somewhat, although changing economic times have left lumber in decline in Ashton as well as across the Pacific Northwest.

	The economy is in the process of transitioning from lumber and other natural resource extraction to a more diverse service economy as well as manufacturing trades. The large population of [[Parahumans]] has brought a surge of tourism to the city despite the havoc these capes cause in their day-to-day.

	Many years ago, powers were new, strange, unknown. Nobody knew the rules of how they work or came to be. Maybe they were magic, maybe aliens, some used them for good, some evil. When a dark shadow began to terrorize Ashton in the form of a monstrous [[case-53]], a group of kids came together and made a pledge to defend it. They became the Ender of Endbringers and together they built Fort Bastion in the trees.		Many years ago, powers were new, strange, unknown. Nobody knew the rules of how they work or came to be.

	The league's membership waxes and wanes, kids grow up and have to leave (no adults allowed of course), they have to nominate new kids to join (1992 saw the first [[Laura Cooper\|girl]] join!). But Fort Bastion has always been their home. Strangely enough though... while they can remember being part of the EoE, none of the adults remember where exactly the prominent tree house was...

	Notably, in 1996 during a fight, enforcer Robert Moss triggered after getting a skate to his face, marking one of the first well-documented incidents of a trigger event of a public figure. Moss (later known by the moniker ''[[Freezerburn]]'') would go on to lead a long and illustrious career in the Ashton Protectorate before dying in 2013 during the year's Endbringer attack.
