Vesrah[2] is the home of the Water Ashari, located at the portal between the Elemental Plane of Water and Exandria in the Material Plane.
Description[]
Location[]
Vesrah is located among the Anamn Islands in the Ozmit Sea.[3] It is difficult to reach, as it is surrounded by many sharp reefs.[4] It is also not very well known to people outside of the Ashari, although Captain Adella at least had heard of it and knew more or less where to find it.[5]
Architecture[]

The town is built on top of the water between three islands. It is partially submerged, and its inhabitants spend much of their lives standing in shallow water.[6] Vesrah relies on lodestones to stay afloat, which are produced by Krakens and collected from the Aerie of Torrent,[7] a portal to Water Plane located near their settlement.
The buildings in Vesrah are made of white and green marble, and the style is described as Grecian. It is lit by lanterns set on tall poles.[8]

As of 811 PD, Vesrah was a home for various races. Most of them appeared to be human or elves, but there were "a handful" of dwarves, "a couple" halflings and half-orcs.[9]
Very few people visit Vesrah, apart from shipwrecked pirates and sailors. Many of the inhabitants of the town are reformed pirates who were rescued from a storm by Waveriders and chose to stay.[10]
Culture[]
Worship of the Moonweaver is common in Vesrah due to her control of the tides.[11]
Notable people[]
- Uvenda, the Heart of the Tides, the elderly gnome headmaster of the Water Ashari.
- Yulan, triton member of the Water Ashari.
History[]
Vox Machina traveled to Vesrah to complete Keyleth's Aramente. Keyleth was tasked to retrieve lodestones from the plane of water without killing the kraken who produced them.
Triva[]
- The rift to the Elemental Plane of Water is considered a fane, a place of power.[12]
- When first mentioned by Keyleth in Aramente to Pyrah she called the city "Aquas".[13]
- Marisha mentioned that Keyleth had returned to Vesrah to plant a seedling of the Sun Tree.[14] However, it is very likely that she meant Zephrah, where she did, indeed plant a seedling that became the Raven Tree.
