Feywilds - The wild, untamed wilderness that lays to the north of the Empire. Its name is derived from the many fey creatures that populate the forests. Primary amongst the fey are the elves.
Folyoba River - River running beneath Wasteward Keep, originating beyond the Gena Wastes. Downstream from the Keep it is a major trade corridor. Upstream it is considered too dangerous for travel beyond the edge of the waste. Many leagues upstream, it passes the former city of Gena, now rumoured to be a giant crater lake, the heart of the Wastes.
Gena Wastes - The lands that once formed the centre of the Magocracy of Gena. A century ago, mysterious elemental magical forces ravaged the lands in a great disaster. Elemental energies ebb and flow throughout the wastes, warping arcane magic in strange ways. The Empire maintains constant vigilance against the elemental aberrations that wander forth from the wild heart of the Wastes. None but the bravest venture beyond the borders of the wastes. Almost nothing is known of the lands of the Wastes more than 20 miles beyond the frontier.
Great Highway - major road constructed during the days of the ancient Eastern Emberek Empire. At one time, it circumnavigated the borders of that empire, serving to move armies and trade goods. Today, large portions lay well beyond the borders of the Telkarion Empire, and much of the highway has fallen into disrepair, with bridges long washed away and paving stones often buried beneath centuries of overgrowth. To the north of Wasteward, the Highway runs through the Gena Wastes, and it is rumoured that the great bridge at the town of Palyahid fell in the tremors of the Gena Disaster. Sections of the highway to the east and west of the wastes may still be traveled by those who have no fear of the nearby Feywilds.
Huladek River - Major tributary to the Folyoba River, the Huladek separates the southern edge of the borderlands from more civilized and secure Empire territory to the south. The Huladek originates in the great western mountain range far beyond the Wastes, and flows through the Feywilds before reaching the borderlands.
Vizparti - capital city of the Telkarion Empire.
Wasteward - primary stronghold of the Wasteward Marches.
