That would also explain the why there seems to be only one continent.

Gravity is so low that they can jump such distances in full armor with no problem!

If Elrath had any mercy he would destroy such an ostentatious aesthetic crime.

so uh help me out to wrap my brain around some very beginner-level logic here,
how exactly does a hero and their army get to and from the town portal as shown?

Looks like the current speculation is that they jump over the walls thanks to low gravity. Or perhaps they just need to pray to one of their sacred lizards.
Seriously, I don't know how they could improve the townscreen, I think it must be redrawn enterily, for all I see are violations of physics, common sense and taste.

Another Ashan trivia (like gravity this should be official explanation):
If you look very closly to that Heaven town screen you will notice a grail building - the giant golden statue resembling dragon god (or phoenix im not too sure). You will also notice that enterance of capitol is gigantic gate made from solid gold. If you look more, you might also notice several other smaller (but still big) golden statues and golden doors on many of buildings. Some have even roof (hall of glory) made of pure gold! So is town portal building ... golden.
Now combine this with the fact that armor of common foot soldier has more gold on it that most of you have ever seen in whole life, and you might start to wonder .... how come they can afford this? Isn't his too expensive?
well ... not realy ... not in Ashan it isn't. You see gold in Ashan is much more common than on this here planet called Earth. Gold is for Ashan similar than copper is for Earth. In fact, it is the copper that is extremly rare, to the point of it almost being non-existent. You don't see bronze statues anywhere now do you? Even tho in our hystory they were common. Bronze is so expensive and rare that is ridiculous in Ashan. Thus there was never a Bronze age, nor was there bronze armor or statues ... golden armor or statues however ....
Oh and how can they reach town portal building. That is the most silly question asked in this whole forum. Through the doors! Which doors you might ask? The ones that are conveniently hidden BEHIND town portal building!  It's the door there in the wall just behind the portal.
Now don't make silly remarks like: "well before you buld that portal, there is no door visible either" ... The doors are constructed AT THE SAME TIME as town portal If there's no building there's no need for doors is there?

Redrawn by the same artist so we can point out how wrong Haven TownScreen is...again

also there are three moons which are one moon and the moons are an egg, which house a spider, who is a dragon with three faces and many legs, and lo with those many legs and many faces she created the world and the Kingdom of Erwin Le Bretonnia with it
get with the programme everyone

Making a dirt-cheap tribute to Elrath and getting away with it because they share the same color: Priceless.

I wouldn't call it dirt-cheap ... historicaly, bronze statues of Gods like Athena, Poseidon, Zeus etc. were quite common. Often even cheaper materials like stone was used. In Ashan, gold fills that role.
But yes your point is also correct - that's how it works

Well so here is a small thing i just cooked up. Using all the feedbacks form you guys, i decided to see what i can improve. I am no photoshop expert(lol heck i got photoshop just so that i can change the TS) So dont expect a super drastic change. What do you guys think?

Much, much better than the original... I would still scrap the Elrath statue (personal preference), but this at least looks like a proper town. Still, 3D is 3D

That is indeed much improved town good job  .
I like that champion building is in the background - always seem more epic than just another generic structure in middle of town. In original it's not very distinguishable from the rest. Also the civilian buildings in background are a great adition as always.
The area with town portal building removed hovewer feels empty. I say keep that building there and add a visible door in the wall behind it, or a staircase, and it's golden!
regarding the statue: in most games it would not even appear as it requires grail so there's no problem imo. Also my gold and gravity explanation

Much better now but I still Haven town screen seems bad - too much unoccupied space on the right and too crowded in the middle. I affraid we need to change town screen perspective (looking from front not from angle) to get better Haven town looks.
Not to mention that cathedral should be in center of town, not near city walls - I think it should trade place with magic guild - this is not an Academy where school of magic is one of its main buildings.

The cathedral in the right side is still stupildy placed. How can anyone access it?
An obvious path to the shooting range would be welcome too. Overall it certainly is an improvement, not only because of the correct placement of the town portal but for the blurriness of the gargantuan sin against good taste the golden dragon is. Now if we just take a step forward and completely remove it...
