Belfort close

The mountain keep of Belfort is built into a spire that rests at the edge of the northern lip of the eastern mountain range of The Cauldron. It is suspected that the spire was once home to a sort of genie, or perhaps even a dragon, though it was long left abandoned by the time it was discovered only about 200 years ago.

Since then Queen Lashmi has stationed a small military garrison in the base of the fort, to ...

Bleakburn, The City of Glass close

Bleakburn is a city, a monument, and a tomb. Prior to the last eruption of the Smokestack over 500 years at the time, indigenous elves were living in adobe style sand homes. Though they lived near the lake, drinking the water without first boiling it would cause the people a terrible sickness. So they fished and laid crab pots and drew water with aqueducts made from their sandstone blocks to passably arable gr...

Cannix close

Cannix is a small village of hopeful and simple desert-folk. The village is run by an administrator appointed by Queen Lashmi, who manages a small guard company and the well-being of the village.

The people live in simple rounded adobe clay style homes, dug into the sandy soil at the foothills of the western mountains, they're able to escape the heat that pervades the region in the afternoon, when the sun conti...

Crone's Watch close

This lair is located to the east atop a small badlands plateau, a small climb (or fly) from the desert below over and around popcorn rock and crumbling terrain. Outside here there are makeshift tents and structures built from bleached bone and sparse lumber, alongside sun bleached hides from all sort of creatures. It would almost appear more like a barbarian tribal camp than a witch coven, if not for the arcane dr...

Gorrogash Stronghold close

This Orcish hold is built into the southernmost mountains of the Ashen Range. It was planned by an orc named Kort Gorrogash and built during his chieftainship of the Gorrogash clan. They hollowed out great halls in the granite using blasting powder and picks, and during its construction they made treaties with the raiding clans of the Ashen Range to pay for the capture of dwarves who were brought in and told t...

Orcblood Pass close

A craggy and dry mountain pass leads the way for travelers between the Far West and the Far East Roadways through The Ashen Range. It is so named for the orcs who were slain in countless battles within the pass before they began attacking southwards to the War Fields. Humans and others say Orcblood as if the title of an achievement, while orcs say Orcblood to honor their fallen.

More often than not the pass...

Piedmont close

The pass town of Piedmont is a well known travel stop, and pilgrimage site, located in the center of Tomarev, between the Twin-Lakes Region.

Over 150 years ago, following a bloody human civil war between the kingdoms of the west and the east, a great neutrally located graveyard was constructed in Piedmont, as a gesture of respect for families of all those who suffered loss as a result of the war.

Now, the sm...

Port Vepst close

This town is both a haven and a hellhole depending on who you are and what you want. The members of the port authority report to the Queens administrator, but they have their own agendas as well. Some are after enough money to move to the Nebrth Bay and have an "easier" life. Others want power in the Cauldron believing that the Queen will bring them all a better life. Some are pirate sympathizers who just enjoy th...

Shadowbend close

Shadowbend is home to a special location called The Reluctant Convergence. Here, the various realms of evil overlap ever so slightly with the material realm, forming a thin veil between worlds at certain moments. Most often only one overlaps at a time, but on extremely rare occasion multiple can overlap at once, causing unstable portals in the lower realms to draw unsuspecting monstrosities, demons, and undead int...

The Ashen Range close

This north-to-south running mountain range is so named for the clouds of ash and smoke that it halted from the east after the first eruption of the Smokestack. Time and rain has since cleaned much of the mountain range, yet it is still remembered by its ashen denomination. Near the base of the range, when it rains, travelers claim to be able to smell that old sulfur and ash.

The Cauldron close

So named for blistering heat and curved mountain ranges to the east and west, The Cauldron contains an arid desert landscape, and an isolated people. It's a harsh wasteland with few locations worth staying in for long, if you're welcome at all. They say that dark magic is stirred within The Cauldron, brewed by witches who strayed from the cook books long ago. There is but one large lake in the center of the r...

The Glass Lake close

The Glass Lake is so named because of the layer of glass that formed at the bottom on the hottest day. Still, chunks and shards of glass float invisible in the crystal clear water, making it dangerous to venture into. In addition, at certain parts of the day throughout the year, looking across its surface makes it appear as though it were made entirely of glass, matching the sullen city it lies just north of.

S...
