Places

suits them. The main castle is called Whytleaf and it is made of white marble and
stone. Ravannah has a wall around it, protecting it from harm.

### Flege.

This realm is different than most Downworld cities. It had no forests,
and has small houses arranged in ques. Flege is a very small realm, and one
half of it is residential area, just like the Upperworld, and one half of it is
commercial, containing a park called Spinelli Park, a Museum, shops and one
large mall. The only means of transport here are walking, as the citizens of
Flege use magic only in severe conditions. Each house, in the attic had a glass
case that contains a magic wand, only to be used in emergencies.

### Argis

This is the land of Red Cloaks. Red Cloaks was the army of Egyptians
formed during the battle of Greeks and Egyptians. Apart from Red Cloaks, people
who died in the first battles were wrapped in linden bandages and after a long process
and made into mummies that helped fight the war. Red Cloaks made their own
separate country, Argis. Argis people were just like Flege—in fact, a mixture
of both. A part of their country was like the Upperworld, some residential,
some commercial areas. The third half was the Looming Forest, the Runaway
River, and the Glockway Mountains. The people lived in human-like homes and
travelled on brooms. Argis always had protection spells around it.

### Olympus

This is the city of the Greek Gods. Olympus is surrounded by
mountains. In the North, towards the Sisna Sea, is the palace of the gods.
Below it lays the city of Olympus, small houses and huts for the citizens.
There was no need of shops, for the gods could produce anything from thin air.

### Presterar

This place had a landscape of mountains. It was somehow built in the
Glockway Mountains, close to the Runaway River. Only Downworlders live here,
and this place has a kiln, forges and small huts for homes for all creatures.
The weapons forged and the bricks made were traded with Argis, and this was how
life continued in Presterar. Many other realms wanted to destroy Presterar,
including Argis and Olympus but stopped because this was the only monthly
supply of weapons and bricks and sometimes, food. Elves were great cooks.

### Rebelle

This land is a desert full of life. A family
usually contains three or four people, who live in small huts. A large lake in
the desert is the only supply of water. Shifting sands carry away huts, so
people have protection charms around their respective huts. Downworlders roam
everywhere. Faeries and Moth men build small houses over human huts. Centaurs
run the desert, and at night they group up and sleep like a flock of sheep.
Dwarves and Elves here are not very elegant, and are used as human servants.
Dappleglasses float around all day and night. The other creatures like Ventili,
Kdragons, Unicorns and Clabberz roam around and sleep whatever place suits
them. Cyclopes and Hundred Handed Ones are also servants to humans and live in
a large open air room, chained to the walls, and the owner’s name written on a
collar around its neck. In Rebelle, humans are greater than Downworlders.

### The Beyond Lands

They have many other scary places in them that
the Vikings spread around them to protect themselves and soon these places were
inhabited. These were The Land of Creeps, The Graveyard of the Ghosts, and the
Cavern of the Vikings itself.

## Castles, Woods, Mountains, Rivers and Plains of Downworld

### Whytleaf

Whytleaf is the castle of Ravannah, and home to most of the Instruments. It four towers on its four corners. The first two tower are in use and have the Great Bath, the Library, The Great Hall (in between these two towers), The Hall of Mirrors and the Historic Gallery and many other places. These two towers are connected with the other two by the Broken Bridge which was shattered in an earthquake that Gaia sent. The first tower, called the Crumpling Tower is not in use and is taken by nature. The other tower, the Watchtower is very important. But since the bridge broke, the way into the Watchtower is made through the Blue Keep where some of the common humans live.

### Great Castle of Presterar

The Great Castle of Presterar takes its name from the fact that it is the only large castle in the city of Presterar. It is a combination of four towers and a courtyard. The towers contain the galleries, the baths, the lavatories, the rooms and the library. There are three thrones and each is consumed by an elf, a dwarf and the moth man. The courtyard is a place for royal gatherings and announcements and the courtyard is in use in times of war to announce the names of the dead, to beware people of the dangers and other matters.

### The Dead City of Tartarus

The Dead City is the heart of Tartarus. It has many towers. It's gates are made of fiery rock with a bull's head on top. The giant king that rules it is called Primes. He had thousands of demons, monsters and Dur Farnen at his command. Every creature that leaves Tartarus to be reformed in Downworld goes when he commands it. The castle towers have thousands of empty rooms that Primes likes to sit in.

### Olympia

Olympia is in the city of Olympus. It is the home to the Greek Gods of Olympus. It is a magnificent open courtyard built on a hill. The Greek Gods sit there, their thrones arranged in a large 'U'. People bring problems to the gods to solve. It has two sky high towers and two courtyards. One courtyard is on the ground where the gods sit during the day to help the commoners and the other is in the sky where the gods become who they truly are - their actual might and their actual size.

### Morn Forest

Morn Forest is in Ravannah. It is home to many creatures. The word Morn comes from 'mourn'. It was named that because when the immortal Mr. Coombes lost his heir, he wept and wept. His tears watered the ground until a large forest of trees grew there over Mr. Coombes' son's grave. Every day Mr. Coombes went there, crying and mourning for his son.

### Runaway River

The Runaway River is the longest river in Downworld. It begins in Ravannah's Morn Forest. From their it goes on to Rebelle (that's how people came to live in a desert), through the Glockway Mountains and Presterar, onward to Argis until it finally reaches the infinite sea. Before opening there comes a whirlpool that goes straight down to the Underworld.

### Glockway Mountains

The Glockway Mountains create a division between Argis and Presterar. In one of the valleys of the mountains is Presterar. The Glockway Mountains run down to Olympus, and the southern part of them is exactly where Olympus is. The northern part of them is exactly where the Cavern of the Vikings is located. The Glockway Mountains have a weakness. They are easy to strike from one side because the other side has obviously either Presterar, Olympus, the Runaway River or Argis. So if the Glockway Mountains are taken by an enemy, Argis, Presterar, even Olympus shall fall.

### Red Plains

The Red Plains is a small area of fairly flat land. It is close to Presterar and in a large, flat valley in the Glockway Mountains. No one who ventures there has ever returned. Yet people who never went in there do come out. It is known that those of the Upperworld who go into the Bermuda Triangle end in the Red Plains. But because it is unconfirmed, the plains remain a mystery.
