Editing Asham

'''Asham''' (known as ''Assaram'' and ''Ashalam'' in prior localizations), is a town in the [[Overworld (Dragon Quest III)|overworld]] of ''[[Dragon Quest III]]''.  It located east of [[Romaria]].  It is typically a stopping point for accessing [[Isis]] and the [[Pyramid]] as well as the cave leading to [[Baharata]], and travelers can experience firsthand how the town got it's name after dealing with the avaricious merchants. It is also close to the left entrance of [[Nordy's Grotto]].

==Night Life==
Asham is one of only a few towns which is quite busy at night.  In addition to having a dancing club and a fortune teller open at night, it also has a weapons and armor shop only open at night.

==Monster==
A lone [[Imp]] appears upstairs past the [[Magic Key]] door.  In the [[Nintendo Entertainment System|NES]] Version, it can be battled anytime once you go downstairs, while in the remake, it won't reappear.

==Nearby monsters==
*[[Cumaulus]]
* Bullmustiff
* Jackanape
* Drac the Vlad
*[[Vampire cat]]

==Remake==
At night, instead of the usual town track playing, the music from the [[Pyramid]] is used.
