The Sweeps of Thale spreads as far as the eye can see around the Imperial City, littered with farms, thickets and few other landmarks. Anyone looking to traverse the empire will become quite familiar with the rolling grasslands that connect its major cities, dotted with quiet hamlets so small they mightn't appear on a map, or ruins of a time long lost.

Port Town is perhaps one of the busiest places in the empire outside of the Imperial City. It boasts the single largest harbour to be found in the empire, even over the capital, and sees travellers of all walks of life pass through. Because it gets so much traffic it has quite the booming economy, and is often the one-stop shop for anything you might need.

Once a small mining town, Oya Plateau has become much more than that. From blacksmiths to furs and everything in between, this is the centre of civilization to be found among the treacherous mountaintops of Oyahn Mountains. And if the frigid climate is too much for you, some entrepreneurial souls have even taken advantage of the natural hot springs to open a world renowned bathhouse.

The Oyahn Mountains spread across the western and the northern coasts of Astrae, separating the empire from the devastating tundras of Yawhil while simultaneously providing the world with a wealth of ores and minerals. Despite being silent sentinels over the land for centuries, these mountaintops are vastly unexplored and hold ancient secrets deep within.

The quaint little village of Hamlet is nestled at the very edge of the green expanse known as the Sayera Forest. While normally a relatively calm place, Hamlet has seen increasing activity from the empire with the spread of Outlanders, given the rumours that the rebellion operates from deep within the Sayera Forest and harbours many of these fugitives.

The desert is desolate, lonely, fatal to any who wander into it unprepared. It's ripe with bandits, monsters and some of the most dangerous, spontaneous weather conditions in the land. Yet there is much promise in that wasteland, tales of treasure, of ancient civilizations, of gods and of power unknown to any to be found by the first wayward adventurer to stumble upon it.

The Isles of Lahrea remain well outside the empire's control, for there are far too many to truly reign over. Islands litter the coasts along the southern part of the Lahrean Sea. Some are simple, lonely points on the horizon while others host pirates, bandits, even parts of the rebellion. With so many islands to explore, too many to even name, there are numerous adventures awaiting the wayward sailor.

The frozen lands of Yawhil play host to the coldest climate in all of Astrae. Because of its isolation from the world due to the Oyahn Mountains it's mostly been untouched by the empire, and plays host to several tribes of wildlings, people who live at the mercy of the land and of their own abilities to find shelter. These people are considered savages by the empire, and were once considered for conquering.

The great spire of Creyos lies to the far east, and has reaped nothing but destruction on the country-side around it. This active volcano periodically sees grand eruptions, leaving naught but a wasteland around it, and remains untouched and unwanted by the empire. The times when it's most active, during the eruptions, the ashes can be found as far away as Port Town.
