1) Cauldron of Despair - A massive lake area, with skyscraper like rocks jutting from the surface of the water. The party must attempt to cross the area by way of the rocks. The water below is infested with deadly venemous snakes and is rumored to contain the Ruins of Amalisha, a great Queen in the ancient times of their world. I may have the group venture into the underwater ruins later in the book, not sure.
2) Forest of Deception - Avalinya slays Rhyagelle here when Syphen uses a ring that only works in the forst to make herself look like any other female inhabitant currently in the forest. She takes the illusion of Rhyagelle and starts a fight with Avalinya that she intends to kill her in, but Avalinya gains the upperhand and wounds Syphen bad enough to make her flea. Rhyagelle later comes back to camp, and is stabbed to death by Avalinya, without ever having known anything even happened.
3) Falls of Wishing - A massive series of waterfalls, a deep enough fall that the bottom cannot be seen, and is enshrouded in mist. It is rumored that the Ethereal Plane lies beneath the mist. Avalinya, distraught with the consequences of having murdered her sister, and already suicidal, leaps from the cliffs, wishing that Saria be released from the stones power. The snow leopard later becomes Arakias' "pet" so to speak.
4) The Unicorns Horn - The largest mountain in the Kingdom of Toron, snow coversed. Zorious finds Kariyanna's cure at its peak.
5) Toron - The main city, Emperor Zalens Kingdom. Arakias and Kariyanna live in the poorest section of the city, known as the slums. Their is another area of the city, that was completely destroyed by an explosion. Arakias later finds out that it was the government testing its first mechina creations. The factory blew up, and killed half of Toron, including Arakias' family. The people were always told, it was just a hospitol for revitalizing the magical creatures, when they were really draining their blood, creating Mechina's.
6) Academy of Aren'then - Rhyagelle and Avalinya are found here. This is the greatest magic school in the world, and is only accessible by those of pure elven descent. A massive series of castles and fortresses that have magical creations strewn throughout them.
7) Tieryal En'Salen - Forest of the Elves and it is known in the human tongue. The party stops here before venturing into the Forst of Deception. They stay with Rhya and Ava's parents. Ava is awoken in the middle of the night by her mother who tells her of a vision she had, of Rhyagelle attempting to kill for something she believed was right. Avalinya takes this as a sign when they visit the forest and she kills Rhyagelle. Unfortunately, Ava's mother's premonition, was nothing more than an ill timed dream.
8) Temple of Eshenrel - Sharae is introduced here, see her profile for details. More to come as I think of it for this area.
9) Graveyard of Hope - A locked down sanctuary in the city, it is hidden in the midst of the HUGE area that was devastated by the explosion in Toron. No one is allowed in the wreckage, the government says this is to protect the remains of the city, but in honesty, this is where they dispose of the bodys of the fantasy creatures. Darkreever first appears and tells Arakias why the explosion really happened, and that it is time to move into the "Era of the Mechina's".
