## The Kingdom of the Sol

**The Kingdom of Sol is a shining beacon of worship and culture in the middle of a scorching desert landscape. Its occupants are resilient, having adapted to the harsh weather and their way of life has become intertwined with their faith in the sun. They revere the sun for providing light, warmth, and life to the otherwise inhospitable environment, and work hard every day to make the best use of it. The kingdom's capital city is adorned with impressive temples and monuments devoted to worshipping and paying respect to the sun and its blessings.**

**The kingdom lies along the shore of a vast desert. The dragon population nearby provides heat and protection, while the people of the kingdom have adapted to the harsh climate. The people worship the sun as a symbol of warmth and light amidst the relentless heat of the desert. They build their buildings with lightweight materials such as bamboo and thatch, while their clothing consists of loose linen fabrics that allow cool airflow and protection from the sun. Their food is based on local grains and legumes, with a focus on spicy and flavorful culinary creations.**

## Aredia Kingdom

**Aredia Kingdom is a beautiful yet deadly kingdom located in a region of tall cliffs. Its bright-colored moss and mushrooms add to its ethereal landscape, particularly at night when the bioluminescent mushrooms give the kingdom an even more enchanted feel. The people of Aredia Kingdom are known for being peaceful, but can be vicious when pushed to their limits. When using poison blow darts, they are quick to defend their land and people as a whole.**

**Aredia Kingdom is a monarchy with deep ties to their roots and lineage. The royals are known to consult with two ancient beings that are believed to be mythical phoenixes. These two beings look similar to regular phoenixes, but have unique black feathers with bioluminescent colors that match the landscape. These ancient beings are seen as wise and insightful, bringing a unique perspective and guidance to the royals when faced with tough decisions or times of crisis.**

**Aredia Kingdom has developed a unique cuisine that utilizes the non-poisonous mushrooms that grow in the forests and cliffs. These mushrooms are a key component in many traditional recipes, providing a unique flavor and texture to the dish. Deer that have bioluminescent qualities are also commonly used in food items, as well as local herbs and spices to enhance the flavor. Birds and insects are considered sacred and are off-limits when it comes to food, even in times of starvation, reflecting the strong moral and ethical values of the Kingdom's people.**

## Raven’s Cave

**Raven's Cave is a large cavern situated in close proximity to a hidden sanctum. The space inside the cavern is quite large and features smooth rock walls. The floor is covered in a thick layer of ash and soot, giving the impression that fire has once raged in this location.**

**To one side of the cave can be seen two passageways, one smaller and less spacious than the other. A sense of foreboding and dread seem to permeate the air, as if something terrible occurred here in the past.**

**Raven's Cave is a large cavern situated near a hidden temple, according to local myths. It is the former home of a beautiful phoenix named Raven, who is said to have had vermillion eyes as bright as rubies. In some legends, Raven was transformed into a raven by a being born of stars and clouds, who was jealous of her beauty. The fire within her allegedly turned to soot and ash, causing her feathers to turn black and gray. Nobody knows where Raven resides now, but some believe she is still nearby, dwelling in Raven's Cave.**

**The large cave beside the hidden temple has walls made of soft basalt that is constantly crumbling, forming pools of black ash that seem to devour all light. Black dust blankets the floor, coating everything in a heavy layer of soot that makes breathing difficult. In places, the ground seems almost liquid, with small ripples of smoke coming from it, as if some ancient fire still burns there. The only light comes from bright red veins of crystal that occasionally pierce the ash-covered walls, and a dim red glow deep within the cave that gives this place its name: Raven's Cave.**

## Skylar’s Citadel

**Skylar's Citadel was once a bustling city, filled with bustling streets, crowded markets, and people of all races roaming. However, after the curse from the powerful mage named Skylar, the city is now shrouded in shadow, darkness, and dread. The once cheerful market square is now eerily quiet and still, the sun never quite reaches the streets. Shadows cover the walls, and an uncomfortable stillness permeates the air. Many have tried to come to Skylar's Citadel in search of knowledge, but only few have made it out alive. The rest were swallowed up by the terrible supernatural entity that lurks within.**

**Some of those who have escaped from Skylar's Citadel have not been quite the same since. Some describe a terrible darkness that seemed to overtake their mind, while others speak with a frantic pace and utter nonsense. One person went so far as to end his own life, perhaps unable to handle the thoughts and things he had seen in the shadowy depths of the citadel. No one knows exactly what happened to those who dared to enter.**
