Swamps, Fens, & Mires
Dire Fens
A massive swamp that forms the southern border of Athervon; an evil place that is avoided if at all possible – but few venture in, and even fewer return.
Oozing Mounds
The Oozing mounds, a loathsome swath of hills that are minor bubbling mud volcanoes, constantly spewing forth hot mud and stinking gasses, which run down into the brackish flows of the swamps nearby.
Sink-Mire
Sink-Mire, a treacherous stretch of the mire that is riddled with quicksand and tar-pits – to be traveled in with the utmost care, and only in the utmost necessity.

Great Western Forest
Bloodthorne Forest
A no-mans land between civilization and the terrors of the Dire Fens, The Bloodthorne Forest is infamous for being infested with dangerous Blood Ravens, which will attack humans if hungry. It is a place most avoid if at all possible.
Mistwood
A small forest outside of Avis Armois in Athervon, Mistwood has few roads through it, and it sees few travellers - most of which are patrols from the city and the Kingdom of Athervon. The Blackwater River forms the boundary between the unnerving but generally safe Mistwood, and the dangerous and wild Bloodthorne Forest. The small village of Abateurs and the fortified tower of Navro are found at the Blackwater delta - a beleaguered outpost on the edge of the wilds.

The Forbidden Isles
A string of tropical, heavily forested islands that are populated by a variety of creatures. Small human tribes; clans make their homes here, and due to their lack of large militaries and navies, they raided regularly by slavers.
