Suyana Village
This village is easily the most secluded in all of Kateria. Not only do the people who live here live out of the jurisdiction of the Royalty, but they seem to have their own government in place. Be careful as a stranger, though, as they don't seem to welcome everyone with open arms. Their resources are limited, so they don't trust too easily.

Kyaati Village
This village is less secluded than Suyana, half populated by the more traditional types of beings as seen in Suyana and half by travelers and government officials. Kyaati is governed by the Royalty, though they usually seem to turn a blind eye to it when dispersing resources. As such, life isn't too easy in Kyaati, though luckily the Nayitu Pass is just a little further away.

Nayitu Pass
A rare few actually make it through the towering, snowy mountains and thick forests of Eryion to the other side. This pass makes the journey a little easier, though not by much. There's an occasional inn along the way, as well. This leads from Kyaati, through the mountains, and to Coda in Eryion.

Ardwen Desert
This desert is hot, dry, and mostly devoid of life. Past the two known villages, Kyaati and Suyana, there is nothing known about the vast desert of Ardwen. It is rumored that there is a temple far into the desert, but it is also rumored that there is another world entirely beyond that sandy wasteland...

Annan Lake
Annan Lake is easily the biggest lake in all of Kateria. Two rivers meet up at the lake and eventually pour out to the sea just to the southeast. This is actually a very beautiful, clear spot in Eryion, and is rather peaceful. A few small villages and residences cover the banks, and fishing is popular here.

Fort Lina
This is the biggest town in all of Kateria, though it isn't the cleanest or the most perfect like Dissona. Many call Fort Lina home, however, and both the headquarters of the Katerian Legion and the Brotherhood of the Sword lie within its walls. The government has a sharp eye on this area, as well, so keep your guard up.

Elise
Elise is rather peaceful in comparison to its nearby counterparts. Sure, it's governed by the heavy fist of the government, but what place in Kateria isn't? It doesn't have nearly as much crime as nearby Fort Lina, nor does it shelter undesirables like Whisper Valley. In fact, many Katerians are proud to call this place home.

Coda
A tiny village mostly covered in snow that serves as a pit-stop for any travelers through Eryion. Traversing further south or west at this point will likely get you lost, but there's an Inn within the village that is cheap and warm and accommodating. Keep an eye out for any shady behavior, though, as you can never tell who these other travelers may be. The Nayitu Pass begins here.

Eryion Forest
The mountains and thick trees of Eryion make it incredibly easy to get lost. Rarely do humans trek into these coniferous forests, though many Fae call this place their home. There are a few temples dispersed throughout the land, though their locations have mostly been forgotten by this point.

Nascent Reef
Nascent is a place that has mostly been left alone by the rest of Ardrian, much less the country of Kateria. What exactly takes place there is a mystery known only to the Returners, as it is their secret meeting place. It's mostly barren, save for the small camp to the east where the Returners stay every now and then.

Rusue
Rusue is what is considered the headquarters of the Returners by the rest of Kateria's knowledge. It's a quaint village near the ocean, boasting mostly pristine oceans and a peaceful feel. However, the legion keeps a close eye on Rusue, oftentimes arresting innocent citizens for potential affiliation with the Returners. Regardless, the Returners feel Rusue as their home, so they go out of their way to make sure it's taken care of.

Carpathia
Carpathia is the biggest town in Ardrian, though it certainly isn't the the most livable. The area surrounding Carpathia is barren, though not quite as badly as Ardrwen; it isn't hot, so much as it's just windy and tiring to travel. This town is considered the last "civilized" landmark in Kateria, as Rusue is hardly counted. There's also a weekly sea voyage leading from here to Dissona and back, cutting the distances between districts greatly.

Ardrian Plains
This peaceful stretch of land is mainly occupied by humans. There are farms spaced out on the western side of the river, and to the east you'll find a few more farms as well as ruins of ancient cities and civilizations. There's a rocky and hilly portion towards the southern region of Ardrian, and further to the east you'll find another barren area, though far easier to traverse than the district of Ardwen. Overall, Ardrian is a quiet place, as it doesn't offer much other than farming life. Tolerance is promoted here, and usually races cooperate and live in peace.

Islands of Sancta
This group of islands lies within the Lyrah Bay. They house not only the mage's school, but mysterious temples and abandoned ruins. However, it's quite difficult to gain access to any of these things, considering it takes a sea voyage to reach these islands.

Whitewood
Whitewood is a rather peaceful place in Lyrah, if only because it's covered almost completely in snow. Its convenient location near the Northern Mountains makes it unreasonably cold in the winter, though nice and cool in the summer, and it's actually a rather beautiful place to visit in spite of the cold. It's likely for this very reason that the Concerto College lies with its back to the mountains, housing all bard students in all of Kateria.

Castor
Castor is a rather small, simple town. It mostly serves as a pit-stop for anyone on their way to Eryion or Rorrym, though recently traffic has slowed thanks to the direct sea passage from Carpathia to Dissona. There are still quite a few farms nearby, though, and it's right next to the Greer River.

Greer Lake
Greer Lake is likely the best known of all of the lakes in Kateria. For one, it's right on the pathway leading to Eryion and Rorrym, and it's right next to Castor and Whitewood, as well. The waters are seemingly clean and inviting, but Kappas lurk the depths. Unsuspecting swimmers disappear into these depths fairly often, too.

Helmaroc Mountains
These mountains are extremely dangerous for many, many reasons. For one, they're difficult to scale, and the forests surrounding them are so thick that it's hard to accomplish much. And for two? Well, Helmaroc is a place the Gigas call home. Gigas don't really appreciate trespassers, either, so it's likely one might be smashed into a pancake. Either way, it's rumored that a temple lies within the forest to the north...

Michau
Michau is a tiny little place in Rorrym, next to the road leading down to Dissona. In fact, it's so tiny that most people pass it without a glance, as it's hardly more than a warm inn and stable. However, fishing is very popular in Michau, and most fisherman call it home.

Shima
Shima is the largest town in Rorrym other than Dissona. Any relatives to the royal family are likely to be found here. Generally the richest of the rich are located here, and as such the place is absolutely gorgeous. Gardens are well kept and it's not uncommon to see slaves among the streets. It's hardly a town, too, so much as it's a series of mansions next to the ocean.

Raka
Raka is the final stop before Dissona. Many refugees from Dissona frequent this place, though they hardly stay very long. Peasants who manage to gather enough money to leave Dissona ever get this far, so it seems to be a village of little hope. Most everyone among these streets is disheartened somehow.

Dissona
While Dissona is not the biggest town in all of Kateria, it is easily the most organized, desirable place in the entire country. For one, it's where the royalty lives, and a large castle towers far above the town, visible from miles around. Sure, the poor people have it tough on the streets, but that doesn't mean it's not well kept; the royal family have standards, after all. The military is everywhere here-- you can't get away with anything. It seems like a utopia of sorts, though don't be fooled...

Sundire Temple
This is the only temple that has a widely known location. As such, many Katerians and others make it out here for religious pilgrimages, and it's almost always bustling with people passing through. There are a few shops nearby, sure, but the refined temple is where everyone usually collects. However, there seems to be a real lack of worship at these temples, so much as an obligation to fulfill duties.

Fanayra Cave
This cave is mostly abandoned. At least, to the public eye it is-- it's actually the meeting place of the Shadow Council. It isn't anything to speak of, though; inside the caves are a few tables, candles, and some cots, so it's hardly worth venturing through.
