Deraan – An Imperial garrison at the northern end of Kinsland, kept well maintained by the Empire

Erianor Empire – A large tract of land in the southwest corner of Valhalla, which declared its independence from the Valhallian Empire around the time of Migol’s defeat. Has maintained an uneasy truce with the Valhallian Empire, helped by several trade agreements. Seen by most as being populated by backwards primitives wielding spears, though the few reports of encounters with the people of Erianor speak of deadly warriors and a rich capital. Largely shrouded in mystery.

Elenrul – The distant northern capital of the Empire, where the Emperor rules from

Eleva – A remote Imperial garrison isolated on the edge of the Jutanguard peninsula. A waystop for fishers and traders.

Kinsland – A province west of the Volcarren, separated by the Volcarren Sound and the Bay of Fire

Kinsland River – A major waterway for trade, separating Kinsland and Braunglayde

Kiris – An Imperial fortification on the western edge of Laur, an important stop for fishers or traders hoping to cross to Nastralund via land (the sea north of Kiris is usually full of ice)

Leis – A village in southern Kinsland, producing mainly grain and lumber, much like Taeleron . A final inland stop for boats about to leave the Kinsland River.

Montfre – An Imperial garrison responsible for maintaining order in Anund. Generally seen by soldiers as a place of exile, due to the desolate land and isolated location.

Red Mountains – A mountain range which dominates most of the western half of Kinsland

Volcarren Sound – A large body of water south and west of the Volcarren, toxic close to the Wasteland shore, but also home to several scattered islands with remote fishing colonies

Vysor – A southern fishing village in Kinsland. Due to its remoteness from the rest of the Empire, Vysor has been the starting point for several failed rebellions in the past. It is said that Migol came from Vysor, though this is impossible to confirm.

Yafell – An isolated island village in eastern Nastralund, rich by profiting on the trade which must pass by it. Answers to the Emperor, though the people there maintain a proud heritage of independence.
