Much of the Elder Wilds detail are left for the referee to specify. It is generally unknown to humans except for the most general facts. Much of athe campaign could be made up of exploring and mapping this region in search of old magic and new adventure. This information may generally be gotten from Balazaring people, or from informed Lunar and other civilized sources.
The plains to the south of the Seronde River which mark the edge of human land, the Elder Races try to avoid the region, except for the most powerful or bravest.
The southernmost woods of the Elder Wilds. This is the place where the Bear Spirit once tried to hide after he and an elf god were defeated in battle.
A cluster of very high, icecapped mountains in the Rockwood chain, they are said to be ancient giants who rebelled against the gods and were turned to stone. Some creatures say that they are still alive, waiting patiently. Rumor says there is a magic castle somewhere there.
A set of steep and craggy hills, much dotted by tumbled rocks, where the dark trolls lived before and now. There are no trees left. The hills are covered with very tough brambles and brush as well as the common high grass.
The central plains region of the Elder Wilds, it is big and empty, devoid even of the rolling hills which dot Balazar. There are occasional large groves or small forests of deciduous trees.
A large clear region with only occasional clumps of trees, it lies between Dangerground and North Plain, or between Nandwood and Bear Woods. It is crossed by the Seronde River.
A wide, slow part of the Seronde River located in the Blue Dog Gap, Balazarings believe it good luck to cross the river there and often cite their own crossing experiences. May be used at any time but Sea season, and often freezes over in Dark season.
Lazy and slow in spots, it is never inhabited by the Elf Sea salmon, but to those that fish, it is pretty good year-round.
A tributary to the Seronde, it is calm enough to be paddled for most of its length by competent canoemen in a fair craft. It provides good fishing.
It is a body of water which must be crossed to reach Griffin Mountain. Little else is known of it.
A great lonely peak in the Elder Wilds lying beyond North Plain and across Malara's River, it is steep and high. To observers standing in clear ground or perched in a treetop, it is visible from 75 km.
Rolling, wooded hills in northern Elder Wilds, trolls are believed to live there.
The wide plains to the north, inhabited by savage and smelly horse barbarians, it is much too dangerous for foot hunters.
The ancestral home of the Aldryami of the Elder Wilds, elves are thick there.
It is the peak where Shanassee was first planted, before he walked downslope and resettled himself and began his forest uncounted ages before.
