The Kunlun Tundra

  • The Silent Meadow of Dust: A terrible shadowlands avoided by the people of the Kunlun, those who venture near it tell stories of the tall cathedral sometimes seen in it from time to time, and of the tolling of unseen bells. It is known to be a holy place to those who follow the Shining Path, a major ancestor cult in the area.
  • Zalvenesh: A small maritime nation dwelling at the edges of the Inland Sea, the Zalvenesh were once and up-and-coming nation. Known for their longboatmen who fished for whales, narwhales and seals, and divers that enter into the deathly cold seas far longer than anyone normally could in search of ancient Artifacts and relics of the First Age, the Zelvanesh brought something up one day that proved too terrible for them to meddle with. They lost their capital city Liriel-Anneth and a good portion of their population, leaving only a handful of small villages and towns to eke out an existence caught between the Kunlun Tundra and the freezing Inland Sea.

The Dehennan Mountains

  • Sequestered Vale: A bastion for the Cult of the Illuminated, the Sequestered Vale is a small valley with a handful of hamlets, settled in an unseasonably warm vale in the Dehennen Mountains.

Western Dragon Coast

  • Dehenna: One of the Dragon Coast city-states, Dehenna is dominated by a junior Ledaal Household. Like the rest of the Dragon Coast, all the people of Dehenna are a drug-addled slave populace ostensibly owned by the Dragon-Blooded Dynasts of the Realm.
