Dargurn - The Fortress of Shadow
Of all the fell places in the world, the fortress of shadow is perhaps the most malign. Carved into the very bedrock of the Ashen Hills, this redoubt of evil extends deep beneath the earth, where all foul things dwell.Constructed in the days of strife before The Return, it was once the seat of Korez’ck, demon prince of the Fourth Circle. Though abandoned when its master was forced to depart this plane long ago, his taint has remained upon Dargu...

The Hidden Kingdom of Calenoth - Regional Map
Lying on the eastern edge of Taritha is the hidden kingdom of Calenoth, realm of the Wood Elves. Largely unknown to the outside world, the primordial forest conceals a unique culture that is inexorably tied to the lands it inhabits.Shunning beings from the outside world, the Elves have little to no contact with those beyond their borders. Over the years they have become scarcely more than myth for many in the neighbouring Kingdom of Haven, merely...
