Bittermire Warrens
Location Bittermire Warrens A poison marsh the color of rust, its ground a soft dark that gives underfoot, its air thick green with bitter.
Roostspire
Location Roostspire A single colossal tree, its canopy a city of bone-and-feather art, its branches wide enough to hold a roost, its roots deep enough to hold a secret.
The Scriptorium
Location The Scriptorium A silent tower of paper and ink on the edge of the old world, where the erudites keep their knowledge and their long, very quiet, and very sharp oaths.
The Scream Spire
Location The Scream Spire A sheer tower of bare stone, its summit wide enough to hold a nest, its air a constant shriek, its silence broken only by the song and the raid.
Anvil Caves

Aelfarion, the Silver City
Location Aelfarion, the Silver City A city of silver spires and old, careful magic, carved into the white cliffs of the coast, its silence broken only by the spell and the word.
The Shatter Sounds
Location The Shatter Sounds A shore of black rock and kept air, where the sirens keep their voice and their very long, very quiet, and very patient oaths.
Nocturne Caverns
Location Nocturne Caverns A vast cavern city lit only by pale lichens, its roosts in layers, its hunt in the dark, its silence broken only by the echo.
Mosaic Crags
Location Mosaic Crags A crag of three-parted beasts, its face a mosaic of lion, goat, and serpent, its silence broken only by the litter and the brood.
Mirehollow
Location Mirehollow A swamp thicket of standing water and low, web-laced branches, its silence broken only by the web and the kill.
Glimmerwood
Location Glimmerwood A forest of shifting paths and pale light that does not stay in one place. The trees remember the bargains made beneath them.
Frostfang Crevasse
Location Frostfang Crevasse A mile-long glacier fissure lit by hot vents that break through the ice like cracks of light.
Emberhollow Caldera
Location Emberhollow Caldera A collapsed caldera ringed by dead lava shelves, centered on a slow lake of magma that never cools.
Karn Dun, the Deep Delve
Location Karn Dun, the Deep Delve A vast city-hall carved into the roots of the mountain, its halls lit by the forge and the oath, its silence broken only by the hammer and the word.
Ironwood Grove
Location Ironwood Grove A deep forest of iron-wood trees, their trunks hollowed into bear-halls, their roots thick enough to carry a sleeping giant.
Ironstock Bastion
Location Ironstock Bastion A military iron-forged fortress on a bare ridge, its walls of riveted plate, its drill-yards wide enough to hold a line.
Howling Fen
Location Howling Fen A vast conifer forest of standing water and hollow oaks, where the trees are carved into dens and the howls carry for miles.
Hollowmere
Location Hollowmere A drowned place under a dark, still lake in the unknown universe. Something sleeps beneath it. The second real place in the current world.
Goblin Warrens
Location Goblin Warrens A range of ruined hills honeycombed with burrow-warrens, its surface a lattice of trip-lines and its pits deep and honest.
Eaglepeak
Location Eaglepeak A single sheer peak of bare stone, its summit wide enough to hold a nest, its silence broken only by the oath and the word.
Drip Caverns
Location Drip Caverns A dripping cavern of acid wanderers, its ceiling a constant green shimmer, its floor dissolving and re-forming, its silence broken only by the drip.
Coral Throne
Location Coral Throne A living reef city of coral architecture, its spires grown rather than built, its trade measured in pearls and its memory held in the scale.
The Sanctum
Location The Sanctum A floating sanctum above the clouds, where the demi-gods keep their power and their distance from the mortal world.
The Nameless Tundra
Location The Nameless Tundra The frozen expanse of the old world where Uaellaen was found by Tigole. Snow, ice, and the first lesson: the world is bigger than you.
