Silverwall Keep is large and well-fortified against the cold and harsh winds Thelidan is accustomed. It is not very beautiful, but what it lacks in aesthetic appeal it makes up with its practicality. This palace is the easiest to reinforce and can easily withstand enemy attacks, which is why it has stood for so long and endured so much.

There are several large cities within Thelidan. These cities have many things like shops, entertainment spaces, factories, etc. The cities of Thelidan are generally colourless and simple, and they have to be strong enough to endure the cold and wind.

The forge, also known as Shadron's Peak, is located far in the depths of Thelidan, undisturbed by the cold and snow. Shadron's Peak is a dormant volcano with twisting stone pathways in it, positioned high enough for the lava not to affect them, but low enough so they could use its head to forge weaponry. Shadron's Peak is the only location where enchanted weaponry can be made, however it has to be done by a witch or else the magic will not work.

New Valyria is the most extravagant and visually appealing of all the palaces of Setharos. It is large, spacious, and at night the palace grounds light up to accommodate both vampires and humans. Beautiful as it may be, it is not an easy palace to defend as it was built for visual appeal rather than to endure warfare.

There are several large cities within Edessi. These cities have many things like shops, entertainment spaces, factories, etc. The cities are very colourful and full of life. Edessi is very calm and it seems like it's always warm here, so the citizens only worry about how nice and creative the buildings look.

Valyria used to be the seat of the humans back when Setharos was completely under their control. The palace was lost during the Night of Bloody Fangs when Bryson Linneus came from Linneros City with thousands of vampires and killed or turned everybody in it. Instead of using Valyria, which had been destroyed in the aftermath, they build New Valyria to rival its beauty and to show that the vampires were capable of anything the humans were.

Linneros City, named after Bryson Linneus, the vampire who lead his people out to take over Edessi, is a city located within a mountain in the distant north of Edessi. Due to the vampires' inability to deal with sunlight, there is no light within the city, only thousands of oil lamps, torches, and sconces attached to the cave walls. The entire city is built on wooden platforms with rickety bridges in between. One wrong step can lead to somebody's death, but those who still live here have become well acquainted with the layout.

The Broken Lance is a tavern located in the crossroads, open to all five races travelling between borders. It is considered a place of neutrality, where no race has superiority over the other as it does not fall within a single kingdom's boundaries. The Broken Lance is very popular with those of Setharos, and is usually filled with people having drinks or sitting by the fire.

Yinsbane is a gigantic tree that sits in the crossroads, indicating where lies neutral territory. It has stood there since the beginning of Setharos, since before the first humans arrived on its shore. Yinsbane is considered a sacred place, and was remained untouched during the Reaping. Within the large tree there are many holes and tunnels amongst the roots that connect the kingdoms together, and a group of individuals who live there to preserve the tree.

A peaceful place, Rhymerest Pond is found at the Crossroads of the four kingdoms. It's a place where all races can relax and enjoy tranquility. There is a gentle and calming sense of being watched, however. For long ago, when the Earth was new, this was the pond that the Creators of the world lived at. The waterfall that spills over into the pond itself is said to have healing and restoration properties and many who come here stand under the falls to cleanse themselves of sins and pay respects to their Gods.

The town within the neutral territory (which is relatively tiny compared to even the smallest of the cities), roads, and anything else goes here.

Many say the humans did well with the land that they salvaged. The human palace, High Rock, sits toward the back of Mirarien and some consider it impregnable because there's only one way in. It's fairly new, created because of the massacre and the realization that as the weakest of the four races and kingdoms, the human monarchs are in the most danger.

There are several large cities within Mirarien. These cities have many things like shops, entertainment spaces, factories, etc. The Mirarien cities are nice and quaint and there's a really strong community there. There are small buildings and tall buildings, round buildings and square buildings. Quite frankly, the humans have thought of everything.

Aetherius Springs is the greatest phenomenon to occur in Mirarien. Before the Reaping, it used to be the home of many witches who placed a spell on it to shield it from time. Although the witches are now gone, Aetherius Springs is forever stuck with one season: fall. Due to its extravagance, it usually provides rooms for travelling royals and nobles heading into Mirarien. It contains the largest library in Setharos, filled with thousands of original books gathered from the the four corners of Setharos and foreign lands.

As strong as the Arycan palace, Darklight Citadel, once was, enduring the lycans during the full moon has taken its toll. The beautiful stone walls that once supported the largest and most majestic palace in all four kingdoms have crumbled, giving it a haunted appearance, however majority of the rooms and palace wings are fully functional and furnished in contrast with its outer appearance.

There are several large cities within Arycan. These cities have many things like shops, entertainment spaces, factories, etc. The cities are in far better condition than the palace and they're built strong and sturdy to withstand full moons.

The Mire is the only home to practising witches in Setharos. The way to the well-hidden wooden buildings is treacherous, and many lycans know better than to tread anywhere near the swamp. Most are aware of the witches located there, but nothing is done given the difficulty of finding their settlement and the charms used to conceal themselves from unwanted guests. Various races come seeking witches for charms, special herbal medicine, or the witches' magic, and it is known as the magic black-market of Setharos.

Out at sea, Stonehold Rise is large and menacing. There are several harbours and it is impossible to land on the island without being seen from the tall palace. It is at the very centre of the island, and all the other buildings and homes are situated around it. Conquered by the exiled witches, many call it cursed and refuse to sail anywhere near it. It is situated between Thelidan and Mirarien.

Rookview Port is the only city on the island, however it has everything that the cities in the kingdoms have. There are shops, entertainment areas, religious areas, a harbour, etc. The city here looks like it has been trapped in time and everything has a very old feel to it.

Once the only city on the island, Remindale fell prey to dark magic that brought about disease and a miasma that forced everybody to abandon the island until Setharos began exiling witches there. Since then the some of the stronger witches have managed to weaken the miasma and stop the disease, so as Rookview Port grows more crowded, witches have begun relocating to Remindale City.

Hellegat used to be the old seat of the island, prior to its demise to magic centuries ago. Its true name has been lost long ago, but people have begun to call it Hellegat after Morgath took residence there. Hellegat is huge, but the most unique fact about it is half of the building is below ground, located in the rock. It currently houses all of Morgath's men and their training facilities, though many still believe it to be abandoned..

Places such as at sea or on ships can go here, as well as the roads in between the two cities and the grounds around them.

Anything in the past can be rped here. This can include the time before the reaping as well if your character is a lycan or vampire.

Is there something in the distant future you want to rp? Do so here.

Is there something that won't quite work in this universe but you're curious to try it out still? For example a plot with certain people that couldn't work because something else had already happened.
