The Forest of the Dryads: This literal paradise covers the entire western continent of Serithor. The Forest of the Dryads teems with every kind of plant and animal life known to exist on Serithor, and more that are not known. The Forest is strictly Dryads only, even the Qini have to wait by the shore and be contacted by a Dryad. No one is ever permitted to breach the inner forest, unless they are a Dryad or summoned and protected by either a Dryad or the sentient forest itself. To protect themselves, the Dryads created defensive magical barriers around the entire continent. In addition, they spread nets of Illusion magic around the seas for miles in every direction beyond the continent. These illusions often drive would-be travlers to their doom on rocky shoals and submerged sandbars. In addition, there are forcefields set up all along the beach to keep intruders out. Defile this forest at your own peril, because the Dryads, although normally peaceful, have been known to deal harshly and without mercy to those who would attack this forest.
Qinitis: Qinitis is the captial city of the Qini Empire which stretches across half of the northern continent. Qinitis looks very much like Rome did in the time of the Roman Empire: grand arches, Grecian-style temples and buildings, fountains, in all a beautiful city. However, this city is also very heavily guarded, as the Emperors of Qinitia, the Empire of the Qinis, are a very paranoid and suspicious lot. Qinitis is the greatest center of learning and technology on Serithor, but good luck getting into their institutes of higher learning. The Qini are a very exculsive and snobbish people, and they don't like teaching anybody who is not a Qini. The political situation is currently in turmoil, and rumors haunt the streets like ghosts. Tension and suspicion are very high right now, and Qinitis is being guarded more closely than ever. Qinitis sits on a high hilltop in the middle of a valley, with the Imperial Palace set on an even higher hilltop overlooking the city.
Zarazi: Zarazi is a port city on the southern continent. Zarazi is a city where people from all over the world gather. It is a place where anything can be purchased, for the right price. Zarazi is regarded by some as a place where the dregs of Serithor gather. Others view as a place to find all sorts of interesting and unusual things. But to others, it is home. Zarazi may not be pretty or inviting, but it is a major economic center of Serithor. One must be careful on the streets of Zarazi. Since local law enforcement is not very good, thieves and drunken sailors roam the streets, eager for a fight, someone's wallet, or both.
Gorgolon: Gorgolon is the city of the Dark Knights. It is a fortress city on an island in the far south of the world, and it is heavily guarded on all sides by a fleet of warships. Gorgolon is dark and cold, surrounded by dark mists. Gorgolon was built to be a confusing maze, filled with trap doors, dead ends, and switchbacks. Gorgolon is also extremely heavily guarded in the city itself. Dark Knights abound, and Nethinicus is known to have his highly fortified castle here. In addition, Gorgolon is the chief center of the worship of Dendilar, with a fortress-temple in the center of the city.
