Glacier Falls is perhaps one of the most beautiful places to be in the North. However, as its name suggests, it's certainly no tropical paradise! The freezing waters are crystal clear, and for those who can withstand the icy waters can enjoy a nice swim here from time to time.

At the foot of the mountain at which the Royals reside and expanding southward is the Naklin Tundra. A cold, dry, virtually treeless place, it seems very unforgiving to those not used to such a climate. However, the inhabitants of this territory have learned to survive here quite well.

The main dwelling of the King's fighting forces, Fort Kaneq is simply a small forest with a large clearing at its center. If the materials can be found, recruits will sometimes stick logs into the ground to create a crude 'fence' in the spaces between trees. A small pond i the center of the clearing serves as a source of water... if you can break through the ice, that is.
Don't think it's easy to get past the treeline. While the army is camped there, all manner of creatures patrol the forest's perimeter, chasing off any who dare try to enter.

If you cross the river winding through the trees near the northern border, you will find yourself in another world.
Unlike the rest of the forest, every tree here is a coniferous; not a leaf to be seen. The ground is covered with a thick blanket of pine needles, and makes trekking through here nearly undetectable to the untrained ear.
In some parts of this sub-forest, the trees grow so close together that little to no sunlight can pierce through their canopy.

Created long ago by the movement of water and the earth's surface and found only recently through the roof collapsing, this underground wonder is surprisingly spacious. The only way to safely get in and out of this massive cavern is through a connecting tunnel in the forest above.
Inside the cavern, a stone 'beach' completely surrounds the body of water, so it is quite easy to traverse the entire cavern without having to swim through the water. Near the northern end of the cavern are hollows in the walls, perfect for the residents to bed down for the night. Centered at the cave's ceiling is a gaping hole where both sunlight and moonlight enter the cave.

A rather large lake located in the east-central section of the forest. It is a lovely place, with willows growing on its banks and offering serenity to whoever visits. It's waters are clean and clear, making the scene all the more idyllic. Lake Chaera is one of the most popular places in the forest, particularly in the summer. In Winter, however, the lake freezes over and proves to be useless as a source of water.

A quaint little creek located near the northeastern border of the Freelands. The water is clean and clear, the banks bordered with the occasional group of trees. Most of the creek dries up in the summer months, so it isn't a completely reliable source of water.

A large stretch of grassland that takes up much of the Freelands. As its name suggests, this territory has a surprising amount of the color yellow, thanks to the hundreds of dandelions that thrive here.

A small stretch of forest near the southeastern border of the Freelands. As its name suggests, the dominant tree type here are maples, though other trees can be found here as well.

For lack of a more creative name, this vast sea of grass is what makes up most of the Endless Plains. As its namesake suggests, these plains stretch across for miles westward until they reach the ocean to. Near the western borders, the Endless Plains start to get more hilly, and is where most of the Tribes tend to congregate.

This little patch of rare woodland is called 'The Shield' not only for its shape, but because it is one of the only places one can take cover in from the nastier elements such as rain and snow. Just be careful you're not here in a lightning storm though; it has a tendency to strike here often, as told by the vast majority of charred tree trunks.

If you travel Westward and cross the plains, you will eventually reach the Sapphire Sea. Aptly named, it is just as its name suggests; a clear, clean, endless expanse of sapphire blue waters. The surrounding shoreline is comprised of soft white sand, along with broken seashells here and there. The Sapphire Sea is one of the more popular lands, especially in the summer months.

Terakka, which makes up most of the northern and eastern portions of the Eldoro Desert, is for the most part simply dry plants and rocks. Lots and lots of rocks. There's a few plateaus scattered about this large stretch of scrubland, though they offer little protection from the heat of the day.
This place is extremely unforgiving in the summer months, so you would be wise to find one of the very few oases and hope it will cool down.

Sub-board: Ghalzan's Turf

Near the center of the whole territory is a place known as Avael's Keep; a haven of sorts from the relentless heat of the desert. It is an oasis, with small trees offering some shade and a dependable source of clean water.
The only thing is, it is heavily guarded by whoever came across it after the previous caretakers left, for whatever reason. This area is a hotspot for skirmishes, and therefore never has the same residents long. If you aren't a part of the current landholder's crew, then you'd best back off before you loose a tail, or worse...

Here is where you will find the *real* desert in the south. Spanning across the whole southern border and reaching upward along the west, this desert is quite formidable.
Named for the white sand that comprises the majority of this desert, the Ivory Sea is as unforgiving a territory you will ever find, regardless of season.
