Much of the forest is a mystery even to those who reside within it. Hidden deep in the forest is a glade of magic and beauty. However, the trees surrounding it constantly shift and change position. If you ever manage to make your way to the glade, you'll never find a way back to it as the whole world around it will change. The glade is home to nymphs and dryads, and the guardians of the glades are the trees that move from place to place to confuse those who seek to find it.

Many parts of the forest are under constant attack, where soldiers from Ethica invade and attack. Most fall before they reach the locations of the villages hidden within the trees, but the fairies are too weak to truly defend themselves. As a result, earth-based fairies molded homes high in the redwood trees, buried deep within the trunks. Unless you know the location of these villages, you'll never find them. Fairies are quite discrete.

Lycans do not thrive on flat land with bugs and bunnies to hunt. However, the forest is too brutal on their sleeping arrangements. As a compromise, lycans built a spattering of homes on the edge of the forest, still located in the plains. They can hunt freely through the forest and can return to their homes by nightfall. This area is exploding with fresh population every day.

There is a settlement of witches clustered within the center of the plains, lying between the lycan village and the centaur encampment. They sell their wares to all fighting for Falferyn at quite reduced rates and do not allow evil to enter their village.

The plains are an easier territory for the centaurs to navigate, which is why many centaurs less-inclined to fight live here. Life isn't easy, but it is easier to live in than the desert. There are some centaur warriors, more for protection than actual fighting prowess, and hunters/gatherers are more common in these parts.

Humans live in simplistic, constant regions. One of the safest places to live is located within the plains. However, instead of simple humanoid dwellings a warrior's training grounds are located. Warriors live within the barracks and practice fighting, hunting, and camouflaging themselves in difficult terrains. Many women choose to train in the deserts to prove they're tough, so this is often a male-centered area.

Not all shapeshifters move to the same places. Some live in caravans, some camp in tents. In the mountain range lies a group of shapeshifters camping below the lycan dens. The valleys between the mountains make the perfect setting for a camp.

Around the base of the mountains deep within the mountain range are naturally built-in dens that Lycans have begun to turn into homes. This gives them free reign of the prey in the mountains with the safety of numbers.

Sub-board: Sleeping Dens

At the tip-top of each mountain resides a witch's hut. Sometimes there is more than one but more often than not only a solitary witch lies atop a mountain. These are the most powerful witches of Illyria, each too powerful to kill each other off and many very old - though they have potions to feign youth. It is a dangerous trek to visit these witches, so only the most desperate or brave ever truly attempt to reach them--and even less ever make it.

On the other side of the mountain ranges lie steep cliffs dropping off from the high peaks. Delved into the sheer rock walls are large caverns and smaller caves. The larger caverns are filled with markets, communal springs, and other such areas. The smaller dens are homes to the residing dragons, the only creatures willing and able to reach the caves. It doesn't help that far below the cliffs huge ocean waves crash into the sheer surface, warding off even more unwanted visitors... except for the mermaids living within the deep waters.

Below the Dragon Cliffs the Caustic ocean shifts and broils. Beneath the surface, almost six miles down, a beautiful oasis survives. Mermaids live within this colony, the city of Barakus. The water is overly salty and has a distinctly acidic taste to it, which only mermaids and peculiar creatures can survive in. It constantly carves a dent in the cliffs it comes into contact with.

Centaurs make their home in the desert, since their bodies can handle the temperatures much better than most. They thrive here as half-training camp half-village so they have sustenance and people to hunt as well as train to fight in the war.

The people of Runistra weren't all perfectly okay with giving up their lives to the war. Some have left the neutral ground to train in the desert. This is where they train and live to keep their people safe.

Shapeshifters don't often stay in one place. They are very nomadic in their living arrangements. They travel by caravans that stop in different places of Falferyn. At the moment they've stopped in the desert, where they've made camp.

Just past the walls of Contrelle lie huts of the newly discovered witches. These still human witches learn from the more powerful witches but must stay close to the village to keep it safe. Therefore, they built homes just past the village in hopes to help and protect the humans of the village.

The middle land. Neither side can gain much ground. A human settlement sits in the center of this valley that has been declared the truce zone. This doesn't stop constant attacks on the people living there. The truce isn't going to last all that long, that's for certain.

The human village in the center of No Man's Land is called Contrelle, and it is constantly attacked. Warriors from Falferyn move to protect this place and have barracks not far from the village.

The borders of the village are built up with haphazardly erected stone walls that help ward off ambushes. They are constantly being broken down and rebuilt, so it's not as helpful as it could be.

The only source of liquid sustenance for the people of Contrelle is located just north of the village, called Lake Azure. The waters are blue and serene but it is still a dangerous place. Many who come here for water are attacked and more often than not killed simply because they can be killed. Few manage to return so almost no one attempts to venture to this place without a group of warriors to protect them.

At the edge of the battlefield closest to Ethica a huge black fortress has been built for the forces of Ethica wait and plan battle strategies. After ten years, they felt the need to build their own stronghold.

The center of the battlefield has been soaked with so much blood the ground has turned a russet red-brown color. Many battles still occur here, so the color sometimes shifts to a bright red shade after fresh battles.

Grosbeak Village is a floating latticework of boards that connect each little hut. The inhabitants of these huts are dragons, creatures borne of hatred and abandonment. The skies above are filled with sickly green clouds and often drip gray sheets of water down upon the village.

Beneath the murky liquid abyss, a deep crevice lurks. Fed and housed by underground lakes and rivers, the sirens lie in wait. Their village is a warrior training village, filled with vicious fighters and strategists planning the Illyria takeover. Beware the swamp surface, you never know what's hiding beneath it.

The rapid waters of the swamp follow a swerving path through the greenish sludge. patches of land burst out on the edge of the river and on that land are dirty huts housed by the crotchety witches fighting for Ethica. They curse and cast spells upon those who approach and are the backbone of the magical fight for control of Illyria. Beware these beings, they even curse those of their own ranks.

To reach the underground caves, you must first go through the latticework of tunnels leading all over Illyria. It takes a specially trained being to make it even halfway through the maze of tunnels, which is one of the reasons many slaves never try to escape. Make one wrong turn and you'll be searching for the way out for eternity.

This is the name of the underground city and the home of the mulk, the vampires, and the human slaves. The vampires run this place as the royals and everyone bows to them. The mulk are similar to their muscle and they have a huge guard to protect them in the day time.

The vampires may have the disappearing caves but the mulk are much less paranoid. They also enjoy feasting on the pain of their slaves, so they take up small caves riddling the underground along with the humans and the undead. These sleeping quarters are often small and many share it with at least two other people.

This cavern is a mess hall of sorts, where the slaves come to dine. Obviously the vampires and mulk avoid these areas as they don't eat the way humans must. This is one of the only places a slave feels almost welcome and human.

This small town run by shapeshifter, sirens, and dragons. The sirens hail from the seas, which crash and break viciously against the shores. Slaves wait on the creatures. The shabby town is razor-sharp, with pointed houses and walls covered in thorny vines. No one passes through the gates without permission.

Though the Island of Ra and Shulkson are constantly frequented with Sirens, most choose to live beneath the ocean in the city of Lustria. Five kilometers below the ocean level a massive civilization thrives. Ships no longer brave sailing these waters for fear of their residents, and the residents themselves live in beautiful coral and seashell homes, all surrounding a magnificent opal castle belonging to none other than the royal family.

Bordering the bustling town of Shulkson low, wide buttes rise up like a natural fortress. Many of these buttes are riddled with caves like swiss cheese, and these caves are often occupied by dragons. They may run the town but many do not like living with their slaves or the sirens so they seclude themselves in their caves, which also gives them the space to fly and sleep in dragon form whenever they choose. No human is brave enough to cross these buttes without fear of becoming someone's dinner.

Even mulk and banshees need sleep and a place to thrive. Thursek is the secret village between Death Lake and Oceanside. A bleak aura surrounds the area, warding off those that come too close.

The earth-aligned dragons of Ethica have set up various traps in the forest where the ground looks seemingly normal for one second and as soon as you step on it the ground disappears, dropping anyone into the vampire caverns below to be trapped and either tortured or turned into a slave. There is a pattern to this area of land to keep from falling in but be careful, the consequences far outweigh the reward.

Just past the border of the Forest of Darkness bewitched dryads lie in wait to attack and confuse intruders. The banshees wail within these trees, searching for victims, making an eerie and constant moan permeate the forest air. Mulk also move within these trees, hunting for panic and fear to feast on from those that accidentally find themselves lost in the moaning trees.

Many of the gargantuan, dead trees are clumped close enough together for the dark fairies to house themselves in. Instead of delicately maneuvering the trees into a home, these fairies clawed their way in and created a makeshift town hidden from prying eyes. Only morons venture here, especially deep into the night. These fairies enjoy the brutal murder of others.
