The Village of Grasmere
Grasmere as a village was once thriving and successful, however in the last few generations the town's prestige and income has dwindled, due to the mismanagement of House Senna, who rule over the land.Their current lord has spent most of his life away from the town and as a result local residents have become the key authority in town. The once beautiful town is now in a state of decay, local buildings having fallen into disrepair. The people ...

The City of Tlanos - Settlement Map
The ivory towered, peerless city of the High Elves is the largest repository of magical and mundane knowledge in the known world.Built on the ruins of a, some would say, even grander city of an unknown progenitor race, Tlanos has stood for many thousands of years, a beacon to all that value knowledge and tradition.Tlanos is a city divided, the Upper City exclusively inhabited by High Elves and the Lower City where the ‘Andua’ (an Elven word m...
