==Beyond the Empire==
''The Empire has expanded to cover most of the known world. Beyond its boundaries are lands which are of little interest. Beyond these lie the four edges of the world are impassable and are guarded by Rend.''

===North - Sirdehaar and the Frozen Forest===
Some Sird tribes have never joined the Empire and remain savage and barbarous. Beyond these lies the vast '''Petrified Forest''' which is the realm of the Rendking and within which is the '''Castle of Ice'''.

===East - Potamanchu and Behind the Mountains===
Beyond the eastern sea, there is a narrow coastal strip of land, a blasted and inhospitable place where degenerates live. Rivers come off the mountains and the people scrape a living, telling tales of the time when they were the heart of a great empire.

The mountains are very close to the sea and lead up to the impassable range known as the '''Rendwall''', said to be guarded by a tribe of giants led by an ancient Rend. Nevertheless, the land of '''Potamanchu''' was found nestling within these mountains, and silver and gold have flooded the Empire every since. Some say the Rendwall wall was breached with the discovery and invasion of Potamanchu.

The mountains around Potamanchu are infested with '''goblins'''. the people of Potomanchu consider them to be mountain devils.

Beyond Potomanchu (according to local legend) is a vast swamp peopled by lizardmen and witches.

===South - The Thousand Cities===
To the south and east, beyond Alaya, and over the Strait of ???? is the land of Saurians. Past this lies a '''great ocean''' where Rend sail '''cloud ships'''.

===West - Axarte Plains and Plains of Fire===
At the far western edge of the Empire, these plains are where the Vister and some barbarians reside. Beyond these lie the '''Plains of Fire''' where a Rend rules over the greatest of the '''Vister tribes'''.
