In the northeast of the continent is Sardath, a city built on stilts over a lake. Further east is Frostholm, a kingdom inhabited by Dwarfs. South of Port Blacksand lies the Desert of Skulls, home to the lost city of Vatos. Further south lies the region of Arantis. The capital of Arantis is the city of Kaynlesh-Ma, a centre of learning which sits on the River Eltus. Arantis is bordered by two regions that are home to human-hating powers. These are the Snakelands, ruled by a snake-like race, the Caarth; and the Swamplands of Silur Cha, home of the Lizard Men. The Lizard Men in this region are constantly besieging the human city of Vymorna, northwest of Silur Cha. Nearby is the Plain of Bones, home to numerous dinosaurs, and the almost impassable Mountains of Grief. Southwards is Kallamehr, a city of wealthy merchants. The majority of the

Gallantaria is a nation mainly populated by peasants and merchants; its capital, Royal Lendle, is noted as a centre of learning. Gallantaria is bordered by the Northlands, a remote region often at war with Gallantaria. Femphrey is a wealthy kingdom known for agriculture and crystal mining. Femphrey is bordered on the south by the poverty-stricken kingdom of Lendleland.

Ximoran Protectorate, an alliance of several city-states centered on the city of Ximoran. At the edge of the Protectorate is the "peaceful and prosperous" town of Neuburg, bordering the Cloudhigh Mountains. Southern Khul is dominated by the barren Scythera Desert and the Inland Sea, the latter region being home to numerous pirates. The Inland Sea is bordered by the almost uncrossable Shios’ii Mountains. Over these mountains is the kingdom of Hachiman, ruled by the Shogun. Hachiman is the setting for the gamebook
