| − | Along the border between the Empire and the Waste, two rivers – the Krysivor (“Arrow River”) and the Mirmen (“Black Rock”) – run northeast from the Meniri Mountains down to the Tëhonaurë. The region between the mountains, the ocean, and the two rivers is known as the Borderlands. The Borderlands has been contested throughout recorded history and its landscape is littered with ancient fortresses, blood-soaked battlefields, and dread ruins, all crumbling relics of the empires that once ruled there. The Borderlands is secured by a fortified line of forts, but even when these have been fully manned, it has never been an entirely secure region. With so many Imperial legions sent west to confront the Skysos, the dangers facing the Borderlands are greater than ever.

| − | Areas to the northwest of the Mirmen are civilized, Auran lands. Areas to the south and east of the Krysivor are wilderness until they abut the Dark Wall which rises up to a plateau which was in ancient days the land of Zahar. Now, that once-fertile highland has been reduced to ruin and become part of the great Waste that spans the breadth of the continent. The Waste is a dry and wind-blasted desert dotted here and there by ancient ruins said to date from before the Day Without Night, and populated by monstrous beasts, undead evils, and savage clans of barbarian beastmen who live for plunder and rapine.
