Notable Places

• Aelinvudd Forest: located mostly in the barony of Dosselford in Eastmarch. It is a dark forest.
• Applebee: a small halfling community next to the Honeypot Woods in the barony of Markham.
• Bluesky Market: Open-air market located in the middle of the Southtown district in Radigast where most anything can be purchased if you know who to ask.
• The Citadel: The Citadel is a deeply entrenched military academy set outside the city of Jedbridge. Known as the Grey Citadel to some, or just Citadel to others.
• The College of the Divine: Located in the central plaza of Trigol, the college was created to allow a place in the County where all acceptable faiths can discuss philosophy and holy dictates. All the faiths listed below have some sort of presence at the College of the Divine.
  
• Crysal Springs: a hilly area of blue-veined crystal in the southeastern County, right on the Nyrondese border. The waters of the Franz River flow from its crystalline hills. Rumors have flown since as far back as anyone can remember about the origin of this area, its inhabitants and the powers that the crystals may have.
• Fennelmore Swamp: in the south of the archbarony of Fennelmore. The Floating Road connects Stone Battle and Nesserport on the Nesser River.
• Floating Road: Of unequaled build, the Road is a vital for strategic operations in the Fennelmore Swamp and to keep Nesserport supplied. The Floating Road is a mixture of bridges made of wood or stone, planked over boats or rafts and marsh islands passages.
