A volcanic region in northeast Eithne, rich in geysers and hot springs. Named for the hiss of steam rushing through fissures, the plains are also home to the village of Haydn; a vacation destination known for its inns and spas.

The former capitol of Aodh, destroyed in the conflict centuries ago. There's little left but ruins now, surrounding a massive crater at its center. It's known as "The Bones" by the Vagabonds who now reside there.

A freshwater swamp that only the brave dare set hoof in. Its dense foliage and alligator-infested water make it trecherous, but it is said that one can encounter the souls of kirins within- fluttering blue will-o'-wisps that lead mortals astray.

A massive forest that covers central Eithne, named for the brilliant color of the redwood trees. As it nears Oriel, the trees become stone, petrified by the searing heat and ash of the volcano's mighty maw.

Some say there sits a shrine to Alya within the wood, where the vegetation grows thick, and Ignacio's eyes turn away.

The active volcano on Eithne's northern edge. She is claimed to be home to Ignacio himself, who keeps her fiery wrath in check.

The iconic landmark of Onea (as well as the largest mountain), Mount Skeldr marks the diviude between the livable and unlivable portions of the continent. Twin shrines to Alya and Kaia sit at the peak of this oft cloud-wreathed mount, and vast meadows lay hidden in the forests at its base.

The largest permanent settlement in Onea, sitting at the base of the mountain. It experienced rapid growth after the joining of the clans, and is now home to many merchants, residents and ambassadors. Small shrines to each god sit in the central square. Just outside of town, slightly up the mountain, is the War Lord's stone fortress.

An offshoot of Skeldr Town that has grown large enough to merit its own name. This is where the merchants gather, selling their wares at stalls both permanent and fleeting.

Began by Garok, this is a carefully built road that begins at the base of Mount Skeldr, and winds through the forests to the edge of Eithne. It has only been improved under Hira's rule, and is patrolled to improve safety.

The southernmost point of Onea, the Narrows look out over the water to Sirith. The channel is still and calm, but don't let that fool you, for the dense forests across the water have claimed many a life. That's not to say the forest on the Onea side is much better, though.

Created during the God's War, it is a bay of jagged rocks and unpredictable currents. With rocky shores on one side, and dense, dark forest on the other, it is a place where pirates and smugglers find solace away from prying eyes. Hidden amongst the trees is a semi-permanent black market.

A small Umare city that began as a mining town west of Nariah. It is one of the only Breimian settlements to remain beneath the surface, though no one is entirely sure as to why. Many theorize it has more to do with the city's nature as a mining hub than anything else.

A trading post and massive farming community that helped supply the underground cities of the Breim with necessities. The land beneath and around the Point is somewhat flat, compared to the rolling hills of the Vastlands to the south, leaving perfect conditions for farming. A river runs just north of the farming town, eventually running into Sterling itself. Water from the river is pumped into aqueducts and small channels for easy access, and flow through the outlines of the town. Since the herd's mass move to the surface, the Point has become more popular than ever, with horses from many Breimian cities and towns visiting in search of resources to make the adjustment to surface life easier.

Sterling is the home of the Kawaru, a Breimian subfaction whose beliefs vary from that of the main herd. Known to the herd as the City of Innovation, it is built into a towering crystalline structure that overlooks the Vastlasnds. A massive skylight stretches over the beautiful metropolis, allowing the residents to feel the sun on their backs, and see the stars over their heads no matter where in the city they reside.

Built around an entrance to the labyrinth east of Sterling and continues to exist both above and below ground and has remained rather unchanged. It acts as a trade town of sorts, ferrying supplies and resources to and from Sterling. Recently, an expansion has caused the town to also control miles of fertile farmlands as well as the ruins of a tiny, ancient farming village equipped with an intact greenhouse nearby.

Home largely to Vagabonds, the Skytop Forest covers the northernmost edge of Sirith. The trees are ancient indeed, with trunks gnarled and twisted, keeping the less brave at bay.

The rolling hills of the Vastlands are one of Sirith's most iconic landscapes, stretching farther than any in Hireath. Tall grasses and wildflowers cover the earth, decorating the endless hills with color and life. But the Vastlands themselves are a dangerous place for any equine, even those who travel in groups for safety.

The grassy plains of the north border both the Vastlands and the Skytop forest. Rich soil and clean rivers snake through the hills, making it an ideal location for farming. As such, many small communities have popped up here over the years. The climate here is milder than in the Vastlands, and the dangers, while present, rarely show themselves. It is said that Argus kissed life into these hills when he created Sirith so long ago, giving the soil its rich properties and making the Breim prosperous.

A massive stretch of barren land bordering the Skytop forest and covered in deep crevices and craters left in the wake of the gods war. Bleeding into this wasteland are the Crystal Fields, miles of pure arcane energy that took the form of crystals climbing out of the earth. It is all that remains from Argus’s attack after the destruction of Kin.

A seemingly endless network of underground tunnels that stretches beneath the vast land of Sirith. Perilous to those unfamiliar to it, the serene path can quickly become a freefall drop or a river of ice. Watch your step, and hold fast to your light.

Sub-board: Holy Site: Temple of the Arcane

The ancestral home of the hippocampi, Kiephis resides peacefully below the water's surface. This ethereal city even has its share of land-locked visitors, thanks to the plentiful air pockets and caves that naturally form around it. Clerics and artists are especially fond of the beautiful views, and many gather here to seek inspiration- be it artistic or divine.

Pegasi are not permitted.

A settlement born of the chaos surrounding a young sacrifice- Torrine is a modest village that doubles as both protection and prison to its inhabitants. A magical shield prevents entrance or exit, so in a very real sense, the settlers have only each other.

Many small villages dot Aquore, growing ever larger as they near the hidden gem of Inaria. Tight-knit, peaceful communities are commonplace.

Uninhabitable rainforest that even the Vagabonds prefer to avoid. The dense jungle is home to valuable medical ingredient and dangerous predator in equal measure. None should enter this deadly realm alone. Unless they have a death wish, of course.

A sacred place of worship and sacrifice among followers of the sea goddess (and the Talori in general). It said that bathing in the grotto's waters can wash away illness and cleanse impurities. The devout spend time here each evening, wading in the calm waters as they pray. A statue of Cascade stands in the water's center, and faithful followers bring tribute of gold, coral and pearls to adorn her with.

The Temple of Time is a massive temple sitting inside the Aquorian Jungle. The closest settlement to it is Inaria. It is the home of the Oracles.

Please note that the vast majority of Talorians would not feel the need to visit the Temple. However, those that have been there before might come back to explore.

For most not of Aquore, the Isles are all they know of the secretive land. Though lively, they are hardly lawful, and thus are avoided by the common folk of the Talori.

For those willing to bend the rules to have some fun, the plentiful bars and less-than-legal markets are sure to intrigue. The herd rogues all mark this place well.

The upper three-quarters of Sedo, more hospitable to life than the rest. The land is little more than sand and rock, where temperatures are high, the air dry, and the winds are strong. Nomads know the area well, moving from food source to food source.

The main source of water in the sun-parched land of the Serora. It stretches across the sands, though even it cannot penetrate The Sear.

The bottom quarter of Sedo. The red sands hold no life, with only the wind moving the dunes. It is here Alya placed her temple, testing those that seek her blessing with the extreme heat and wind. Only those truly devoted make the treacherous journey.

A series of plateaus in eastern Ziuseset that only pegasi can hope climb. Here they stand among the clouds, the rock kissed by white on all sides. The top is a sight only known to the winged, for the clouds obscure the heights from the ground. It is said the plateau is the first land the hooves of the gods touch when they descend to Hireath.

Located in western ziuseset, the Valley is home to striking red and gold-striped rock formations, shaped by centuries of wind. The landscape varies canyons, caverns, and open stone shaded by towering arches of rock. Just as common as the colorful rock are the cacti, bearing cacti covered in fushia flowers.

In the early morning hours, the area is blanketed by an eerie fog. Tread carefully.

Osulas is the ancient capital of Serora, founded when the very first pegasi came into this world. For 17 centuries, it was the heart of Seroran life, a vibrant city in the vastness of Sedo. Osulas was one of the wonders of Hireath until its destruction in the war against Aodh in the early spring of 1701. In modern day, Osulas is little more than a tent village, containing no permanent structures.

The cliffs and rocks around Osulas often give off the appearance of a rainbow, as they are streaked with a variety of stones - sandstone, limestone, shale and siltstone.

Osulas was the capital of Serora until December 1701.
