====Cities and Places====
'''Cities and Villages'''
*Western City (Ehre): a former Imperial provincial capital, it sits where the three roads meet at the fabulous natural harbor of Market Bay. Austrian markers.
*Eastern City (Bizalom): a former Imperial provincial capital, it sits where the sea road crosses the wide, slow Drowned River at the Bridge of Glass Gargoyles. Hungarian markers.
*Disaster Village: a smaller town, some ways up the Whitewater.
*Forum: a slightly larger town, built on the ruins of an old fortress straddling a gorge, about a day’s journey away to the north-west, past Disaster Village.
*Channel: a smaller town, some ways down the Whitewater.
*Quicksilver: a mining town, about a day’s journey away to the east.
*Vine Hill: a slightly larger town built entirely under the curling, thorny boughs of a massive bio-engineered rose bush colony, about a day’s journey south-west.

'''Places'''
*The Whitewater: the large, violent river that flows under the bridge, from north to south.
*The Darkwater: the smaller, limpid river that flows into the Whitewater from the east, just after the bridge.
*Poet’s Cave: a grotesquely cork-screwing series of galleries thick with speleothems and ancient runes half submerged in the dark.
*Bear’s Head: the skull of a bus-sized bear petrified in place between two sheer, moss-thick cliffs.
*Goat’s Castle: a pre-Royal ruin glowering atop a hill, home to ghosts and goats.
*Mother’s Cave: a holy site of Fourface and the Earthbeater, thick with suggestive stones.
*Black Goat Pool: a holy site of the Waterdrinker, in a stone womb hidden in the mountain-side, with barely any sky above.
*Firewatch Mountain: a white mountain thick with the black ruins of burnt trees, holy to the Firebringer.
*Woodbridge: a man-made bridge several hours up the valley, often damaged by the Whitewater. It is held by either the Eastern or the Western borderers.
