Locations

Locations mentioned in the game.

## Campbell

The history of Campbell is different than most other cities of Order. It is neither built anew or recently conquered. Rather, the line of chieftains of Campbell were allied with the chieftains of Trevn for generations. The populace of Campbell remember with pride: They joined the Kingdom of Order of their own volition

## Erenna & Blue Tower

The twin cities of Erenna and Blue Tower control the southern coast of the continent of Astoria. A great fleet is being built here, spurred on by the arrival of Decay on the eastern coast. While the Arcane federation hopes to be able to fight back, they feel a bit safer in the knowledge that if push comes to shove, the fleets of Erenna and Blue Tower might yet save them

## Eskilgard

Nestled between the Eastcay mountains and the wild forests, Rehonnolim is one of the least safe places within the Arcane federation. They make up for this with their universities studying the destructive powers of air and earth magic

## Great Rock

Once a minor settlement of the Horde far from the territories of humans, Great Rock has swelled in population since the more southern horde towns fell. A staunch guerilla defense as well as the advantages of the barren terrain is all that protects it from the marauding armies of Order

## Great Tower

The northenmost town of the Arcane federation, Great Tower supplies the rest of the federation with ore for creating gargoyles and golems. In return, they receive tourists seeking the calm of the Eastcay mountain range

## Gryphon Tower

While most cities of the Arcane federation have been part of the federation for close to the century since the federation's formation, Gryphon Tower is a new addition. Its population split half and half between Astorian natives and eastern migrants, it was only when the rest of Astorian continent was brought under the rule of Order that this city elected to join the Arcane federation

## Hartville

Once a small town sprouting around the crossroads between the Northern Wastes and the rest of the human lands, Hartville has been turned into a large city after the king of Order took control. Its population went from hundreds to tens of thousands within months - somehow...

## Herringfort

A calm city with the largest fish-monger market in all of the realm. This was once the capital of a different realm, but since its occupation, the wooden palace of the old chieftain have been torn down and replaced with a castle of Order

## Horde Respite

While most of the fleeing members of the Horde were able to escape to the Northern Wastes, when the settlement of Bouldergate was razed and New Order was built on its ruins, the goblins, centaur and other allies fled north, stuck into the peninsula upon which they would found Horde Respite. The two competing leaders of this settlement take two different responses: One builds fortifications to preempt the coming siege. The other builds a fleet so that they may continue fleeing

## Iczta Pyramid

Situated in the marshlands between wild forests, the abandoned eastern coast and the Arcane cities, the city of lizardmen is a true enclave. Taming beasts and breeding serpents, lizardmen live esoteric lives without empathy for any not their own kin. But since they aren't directly hostile, and their jade fortresses seem too difficult to siege, they are left alone

## Ivory Palace

In the early days after the exodus from the lost continent, the city now known as Ivory Palace was the only realm that formed a monarchical state. The sultan abdicated when the Arcane federation was formed, and now only the beautiful palaces remain to tell the tale

## Last Pillar

The Lost Continent was devoured by Decay over the span of a decade, but the invasion never reached far from the mainland. An eccentric off-shoot, the once humble Pillar is now the last remnant of the civilisation that once was so central. As contact with their brethren on the mainland petered out, the attitudes of the noble elite became more isolationist and focused on achieving beauty through art, cultural refinement and wisdom of both the magical and mundane

## Lionpride & Ereshire

Before the human lands outside of the Arcane federation were brought under control by a single ruler, Lionpride, Ereshire and Gryphon Tower were the cultural centre of Astoria. Ruled each by peaceful rulers often allied to each-other, few regions were as rich. But when Lionpride and Ereshire were conquered by the King-Tyrant of Order, Gryphon Tower submitted itself to the Arcane federation. The cities which once considered each-other brethren now find themselves rivals

## Lumberdale

The southernmost city annexed by the kingdom of Order, this is the only place wild forests remain within the realm. It is a region of strife, as Wild wargroups scavenge towns on a monthly basis. There are rumours of child abduction, and that these children are not slain like their parents would - instead being raised to become elves fighting for the forests one day

## Marble Hall

The university of Serene Tower still remains from back when the city was part of the Arcane Federation. Some consider it an invasion - the only invasion between the Arcane federation and the Kingdom of Order. But it was more complicated. Technically, Serene Tower left the federation of its own volition a week before being sieged and conquered by the Kingdom of Order. But the border between technicality and practicality is difficult to tell

## New Order

This city is new - no humans have lived here for more than three decades. In the same place, a grand Horde settlement once stood, but it has since then been burnt down. There might even have been humans living there back then - but those were exterminated along with the goblins, known as traitors to their race

## Nowhere

This once-human city once had a name, but it was lost together with the humanity of its population as the Cult of Delirium took its hold. Great statues were once built of the various deities the cult believed in - but then a fugue spread, and the falsehood of belief was discovered, and the statues, walls and palaces torn down. Though the splendour has been lost, walking through the ruined city, one can feel the clear influence of the timeless gods

## Rajan

While each and every city in the Arcane federation has one or more universities, and at least the capability of shaping gargoyles, golems and djinns, only few manage to shape Incarnations and Titans. Rajan was where the first Incarnation was made, and since then, the Liongods of Rajan are now known - and feared - throughout the continent

## Raven's Nest

This remote Horde settlement is the last peaceful town of the horde lands. In the time after the last chieftain was killed, murmurs go about in the rest of the horde lands, whether they may survive, or if all of them must inevitably seek to Raven's Nest, a place so remote that not even the spite of the armies of Order might follow them there

## Rehonnolin

Nestled between the Eastcay mountains and the wild forests, Rehonnolim is one of the least safe places within the Arcane federation. They make up for this with their universities studying the destructive powers of air and earth magic

## Sea Foam Rest

The Lotlians of the eastern seas are a temperamental sort. While many can be relied on to be more than happy with bartering and trade, there is no clear distinction between being a merchant and being a pirate. Sea Foam Rest is a place most have heard of, but decades pass between each time a human dares to set foot in this capital of the Lotlian race

## Serene Tower

The university of Serene Tower still remains from back when the city was part of the Arcane Federation. Some consider it an invasion - the only invasion between the Arcane federation and the Kingdom of Order. But it was more complicated. Technically, Serene Tower left the federation of its own volition a week before being sieged and conquered by the Kingdom of Order. But the border between technicality and practicality is difficult to tell

## Smithdale

This city once had a different name, one showcasing this as the centre of human and goblin intermingling. While the two races are vastly different in physique and cultural interests, several towns once saw the two live together in peace. But since the King-Tyrant of Order conquered the town, all the goblin dwellings were burnt down and its name was changed. Some see it as a miracle that only those humans known to make business or friends with goblins were murdered. The lingering fear makes sure nobody speaks of that past

## The Lost Continent

Decay comes slow at first, but it builds and never goes away. The continent east of Astoria is believed to be completely overrun by the undead warriors of Decay. The elders of the Arcane cities remember their parents telling them about the great exodus, and the lands that they must never return to again

## Tolvicca

The oldest city in the Arcane federation, and where the first Arcane council was formed, back when the federation consisted of just three cities. Before the arrival of the Arcane people from the east, there was a town here, too, but this is never mentioned.

## Trevn

While far from the mightiest, most beautiful or most populated cities, Trevn still stands as the centre of the Kingdom of Order. Here, the King-Tyrant of Order was born. Once a mere chieftain among many others, from this city he started his invasion of the rest of Astoria. Now, each year, a new construction project is finished upon the Palaces of Trevn, from which the King-Tyrant rules the strongest realm of Astoria - the Kingdom of Order

## Troran Plint

Troglodytes are rarely seen venturing above-ground, but Troran Plint is the exception. The grand capital of their faction, this humongous nest reigns over the isolated Isles of Tears. It is built by the rocks carved from their long tunnels that reach east and southwards, criss-crossing the underground below the continent of Astoria

## Troughshire & Caridad

These two cities once belonged to rivalling tribes. Many thousand human lives were lost in their frequent wars. During one such war, their militaries weakened, the chieftain now crowned King-Tyrant of Order took over both of the cities within a week of his declaration of war. Peace has prospered since, and along the main road, one does not leave one city before entering the other.

## Ygg's Foot

While most Earthen spend their complete lives below ground, digging tunnels, carving new Earthen from rock, and warring with troglodytes, the Earthen of Eastcay Isle stalk the caribou and bears of the tundra to improve their art of warfare
