*'''Alaya (Land)''' Long after the Saurian domination collapsed, an army of escaped slaves emerged from the Thousand Cities. They settled in the near eastand reasily rebuffed the initial attempts to dislodge them by unleashing demons upon their aggressors. Most recently, in the bloodless Inglorious War, the Pashnaar Empire united with Alaya, to form the Twin Star Empire, much to the chagrin of Sirdehaar. The Alayans have a strange version of Sturianism, involving many elements of Saurian mysticism and magic.

*'''Alaya, City of Mages''' The eastern seat of the Empire.

*'''Hugaar (City)''' The Granite City is the Empire's birthplace and the centre of the Sturian Church. When it rains, it sparkles and is held by many to be the most beautiful place on earth. Situated on the slopes of Mt. ????, it is overlooked by the other Star mountains and gazes upon the Placid Sea. The people of Hugaar tend o be blond and, though pale-skinned, tanned. They consider themselves a tribe of Sirdehaar, despite the distance, and rulers of the world. Many Hugarites are hathari witches or Sons of Lorn.

*'''Hugaar (Land)''' is the Empire.

*'''Kuril (Island, Sirdehaar)''' Kuril is where Sirdehaar's craftsmanship is strongest. Much of the Potomanchu silver has been worked here. Unlike the typically dark Sird, Kurilese tend to be fair, reflecting their origins as descendants of Hugaar colonists. Kuril has been a successful but small city for some time now with access to the Potomanchu silver, the city is growing and gaining in reputation. There are fortunes being made and the families of the founders are outdistancing their more staid cousins in Hugaar. 

*'''Pashnaar (Land)''' is the land around Pasin.

*'''Pasin (City)''' is the principal administrative city of the Empire, twinned with Hugaar and now with Alaya, the City of Mages. 

*'''Sirdehaar (Land)''' The northern brother to Hugaar.

*'''Star Mountains (Hugaar)'''
