Dragonbarrow
Dragonbarrow is an ancient and legendary sanctuary nestled within the farthest reaches of the known world, serving as both a refuge and repository for the most powerful dragons to ever exist. This mystical realm exists partially beyond mortal perception, shrouded in enchantments that cause those who depart its borders to forget crucial details about its location and appearance, rendering maps and written directions nearly useless. The very landscape seems to shift and obscure itself from casual observation, with mountains that blend into mist and valleys that appear only under specific conditions of light and shadow. Throughout recorded history, only a handful of scholars and adventurers have documented credible accounts of reaching Dragonbarrow, each description varying so dramatically that many dismiss the tales as fabrication or fever dreams. Within its hidden valleys and crystalline caves lies an incomprehensible hoard of treasure accumulated over millennia—gold, gems, and artifacts of immeasurable magical power that dragons have jealously guarded across countless ages. The few who have ventured near speak of an otherworldly beauty: floating islands suspended above mist-filled chasms, waterfalls that flow upward, and flora that glows with an inner luminescence unknown elsewhere. Local cultures in surrounding regions speak of Dragonbarrow only in whispers and riddles, treating it as more myth than reality, yet the collective weight of ancient texts suggests something undeniably real lies hidden beyond the veil. No definitive account exists of who—if anyone—currently rules this enigmatic domain or what agreements might govern its continued seclusion from the wider world.

View detailsBarauth
Barauth, once a bustling city full of life and prosperity, now lies in ruins, shrouded in darkness and despair. Located deep in the heart of a treacherous forest, this fallen city is home to a haunting presence - demons. Barauth's history is drenched in tragedy and turmoil, making it a place both feared and avoided by all. Legend has it that Barauth was once a thriving metropolis, known for its magnificent architecture and vibrant culture. The city was ruled by a powerful and just king who ensured peace and prosperity for his people. However, everything changed when a group of dark sorcerers infiltrated the city, unleashing an ancient curse upon its inhabitants. The curse brought forth a horde of demons who ravaged the city, turning it into a desolate wasteland. Walking through the streets of Barauth, one encounters a sight of destruction. Dilapidated buildings with crumbling facades, shattered windows, and moss-covered walls stand as a reminder of the city's former glory. Eerie silence hangs in the air, broken only by the occasional howls of the demons that now call this place home. Barauth is dotted with haunting landmarks that serve as chilling reminders of its dark past. The grand palace, once a symbol of power and opulence, now lies in ruins, its once majestic halls echoing with the cries of lost souls.

The once lush and vibrant forest surrounding the city has transformed into a twisted and malevolent entity. Thorny vines wind their way around trees, creating an impenetrable barrier, shielding the city from the outside world. The air is heavy with an unnatural fog, adding to the mystique and terror that permeate the atmosphere.

The Low Islands
The Low Islands is a treacherous archipelago situated in the heart of a vast and tumultuous ocean. This remote and inhospitable region has long been known as the "hell of this world," a place where the elements conspire against the unwary and the weak are quickly consumed by the unyielding forces of nature. The islands themselves are a patchwork of jagged rock formations, their shores battered by relentless waves and their interiors shrouded in dense, fog-like mists. Treacherous currents and hidden reefs make navigation a constant challenge, and the few ships that dare to venture into these waters often meet a swift and unforgiving end. Despite the seemingly inhospitable nature of the Low Islands, they are home to a diverse array of flora and fauna, much of it unique to this isolated region. Towering, twisted trees cling to the rocky cliffs, their gnarled roots anchoring them against the ever-present winds, while strange and otherworldly creatures prowl the shadowed valleys and hidden coves. The human inhabitants of the Low Islands are a hardy and resilient people, their lives shaped by the unforgiving nature of their environment. They have developed a complex system of maritime trade and communication, using the islands' natural harbors and sheltered inlets to ply their wares and maintain contact with the outside world. Yet the Low Islands are not without their own dark history and mysterious legends. Tales of ancient curses, vengeful spirits, and lost civilizations abound, and many who venture too far into the islands' interior never return. Those who do manage to escape often carry with them scars, both physical and mental, that serve as a stark reminder of the dangers that lurk within this treacherous and unforgiving realm.
