Known information
The Ashkar are the doctors and have the only kind of magic that works. The men are magicians and the women are doctors. The magic they use is based on Jewish magic so Cassandra Clare got to work some stuff in from her Jewish background like kabbalistic magic.

It’s a long tradition for the Ashkar to be restricted to one part of Castellane, the Sault, where the Ashkar are locked in at night. Only the Ashkar advisor, Mayesh, who is the most powerful person in the Ashkar society can come and go as he pleases.
