			*'''Blood Cut Gorge''' Here, Sird tried to strike, with his great iron sword Niddig Hugger, at the Heartstone, to slay his brother. It was a different mountain that he destroyed however. The Aching River now runs through this gorge.

			*'''Blue Pass (Kirlan Way).''' Small Heartstone fort, north of a particularly difficult stretch of the Kirlan Way.

	*'''Goblin Ring (Mountains, Tegayet).''' A ring of granite outcrops serve as the spiritual centre of the goblin Low Tribes of southern Tegayet. Although the goblins tell of a great ancient empire centred here, no goblins live here today, fearing the ghosts of the ancients. Goblin shamans and heroes will enter, however, when great deeds are to be done, or great spirits to be coerced into servitude.		*'''Goblin Ring (Mountains, Tegayet).'''

	*'''Heartstone (Mountain, Tegayet)'''. When Sird slew Hatha and his blood-water drowned the lands, only his heart remained in its original rocky form. It rolled down off the Sirdehaar mountains, coming to rest in what we now call Tegayet. Its interior is a maze of goblin tunnels, a warren of considerable size. Emperor Tullis was born close to the Heartstone (one legend has him born inside it). The Hearstone Knights have a small fortress, Fort Oakran, close to the heartstone, while St. Alcuin's is a day's ride. The most devout pilgrims enter a regime of starvation and ingestion of vision-inducing beans, wandering inside the Heartstone and talking with Mineera, Tullis, or Hatha himself.		*'''Heartstone (Mountain, Tegayet)'''.

			*'''High Mark''' A cluster of granite outcrops which serve as a meeting point for the eastern tribes of Tegayet, a mix of goblin and human groupings.

			*'''Highwall (Kirlan Way).''' Heartstone Fort that marks the boundary between Tegayet and Sunium. A series of rope lifts transports pilgrims and supplies up and down the escarpment.

	*'''Ledrik (Mountains, Tegayet Plateau).''' The Sparrow Kin, a Tegay Wildman clan, lives here.		*'''Ledrik (Mountains, Tegayet Plateau).''' The Sparrow Kin, a Tegay Wildman clan, lives here.

			*'''Lance Bore.''' Here, the Pigeon River rushes into a hole in the ground, emerging below the Plateau. The noise is deafening and can be heard for miles around.

	*'''Oakran (Fort)'''. A modest fort close to the Heartstone. Ostensibly built and manned to prevent desecration of the holy site, the fortress prevents its reoccupation by goblins. The fortress is the last stop of Sturian pilgrims on their way to the Heartstone (the previous stop is St. Alcuin).		*'''Oakran (Fort)'''. A modest fort close to the Heartstone.
