GhennaSomewhere to the south of Midgaard lies Ghenna, city of the damned. Here, monsters and madmen roam as everyday citizens, patrons eat and drink at a bar made of human skin, and some of the most dangerous and powerful denizens of the Realms have taken up residence.

The GraveyardIn southern Midgaard, beyond the gates, stands the ancient graveyard. Once the final resting place of those who lived and died in Midgaard, it has rotted and become corrupted over years of neglect, until finally it was invaded by dark powers. Now, the dead walk beyond the graveyard gate, and it is kept locked.

The Haon-Dor ForestAncient and filled with power, the Haon-Dor forest spans the land to the west of the city of Midgaard. Near the city it is light and airy, filled with small birds and animals, but the further west one travels, the darker the forest becomes. Dangers lurk around every bend of the path in the darker parts of the forest, and rumor has it that the most ancient trees walk in the depths of the woods.

The Haunted MansionJust outside the north gate of Midgaard is an old, abandoned mansion. Nobody lives there anymore, for the place is haunted. Ghosts roam the grounds, and a terrible, winged creature has been seen gazing from the attic window.

MirkwoodLocated between Midgaard and the mines of Moria, the dark forest of Mirkwood was once a beautiful elven wood, before it was corrupted by evil. Now, orcs, giant spiders, and other beasts wander the forest, and the elves jealously guard against any intruders to what remains of their domain.

MoriaThe ancient dwarven mines of Moria delve deep into the earth. Here, the dwarves mined for Mithril and other rare and magical metals. But the delved too deep, and something awoke, and destroyed them all. Now, the mines are a haven for the creatures of darkness, from orcs and trolls to stranger and more powerful beasts.

Orc EnclaveTo the south of Midgaard, through the Miden'Nir, the Orcs were long ago trapped beyond a mystic barrier. So they remained for years, but recently a crack has formed in the barrier. Now, the orcs can once again escape from their enclave... or someone might be able to get in.

RomeFar to the north of Midgaard is Rome, center of the Empire. Here, Caesar rules, senators plot and scheme, and gladiators battle. Rome has all of the trappings of a huge city, including an extensive aqueduct system, and a number of impressive temples to the Roman gods.

SundhavenNorth of Midgaard is the city of Sundhaven, a place just barely too big to call a town, but nothing compared to the glories of Rome or New Thalos. Sundhaven is an orderly place, and is heavily patrolled by the Black Watch. A gallows in the center of the city stands as a silent reminder of the penalty for lawbreakers.

SylvanosThis is one of the ancient elven woods. Like Mirkwood to the northeast, it has been a home to the elven folk for centuries, if not longer, but it resisted the forces of darkness. Some beasts and monsters roam the outskirts, but the heart of Sylvanos remains pure, and shelters some of the last members of the ancient fae races.

Werith's WayhouseDespite its out-of-the-way location, Werith's Wayhouse is a popular gathering place for adventurers of all types. Food and drink can be had at reasonable prices, and there is often a room available for those caught in the Miden'Nir after dark.Unfortunately, bandits have recently been seen in the area, and have been waylaying travelers.
