Carved into the west side of Mt. Carello, Arasam is a testament to the might of its founder. The city proves to be a productive mining town, extracting gold and valuable ores from the dormant volcano. It also serves as a popular rest stop for those attempting to reach the peak of Mt. Carello. There’s also a gym, contest hall, and pokeathlon dome.
History
==
Appearance
Almost all of the buildings are built of black slate harvested from the mountain. Though the city is built into the mountain, Arasam has enough fertile soil for lawns and a few trees. That being said, the majority of the decor is stone. The entire eastern part of the city consists of the mountain, blocking further development. City leaders are considering carving buildings out of the wall or even resuming the digging project that led to Arasam's founding. The latter plan is one of the controversial issues in the city; opponents fear that if they dig too deep and greedily, they'll unleash a balrog the project could affect the stability of Mt. Carello.
Because of its location, there is no sunrise in Arasam. Thus, daylight comes a little later than in the rest of Furoh. Some businesses open and close later to adjust to the daylight schedule. It can be a nuisance to visitors not used to the odd time zone.
