Bagrada
Southernmost pass across the Cloudspine range, Bagrada is a network of dead ends and box canyons that connect the Plain of Scales with Forest Heart. Countless battles have been waged here, including several during the Great War.
Barrier, The
The great desert east of the Cloudspine. Once the fertile empire of Cath Bruig, the Barrier was razed and blighted when Muirthemne fell to Balor's forces, becoming an arid desert devoid of most life.
Cloudspine Mountains
A mountain range spanning the continent, running north to south across its center. An almost impassable barrier, the Cloudspine has only three passes—Bagrada, Seven Gates, and The Stair of Grief. Even these are only passable during the summer months.
Dire Marsh
An enormous swampland. Fed by the poisoned Gjol River, the Dire Marsh was the site of many battles between the Legion and the forces of The Watcher and Soulblighter during the Great War. It was here that the Watcher, crippled by arrows tipped with his own bones, finally fell.
Forest Heart
An ancient and majestic forest east of the Cloudspine. Home to the peaceful but powerful Forest Giants. Forest Heart was the site of many battles during the Great War.
Great Devoid
The Great Devoid is a chasm near Myrgard that is said to have no bottom. It was created when the Callieach destroyed themselves rather than be hunted to extinction by the Trow. Following his defeat at Rhi'anon, Balor's severed head was brought here and cast into the Devoid.
Madrigal
A city in the northwest of the Province, Madrigal was the site of a great battle between Rabican and Shiver during the Great War. Though it was successfully defended by the Light for most of the war, internal strife and the crushing weight of the Dark armies caused its downfall only weeks before the war finally ended.
Muirthemne
The ancient capital of the Cath Bruig empire, Muirthemne was home to many great sorcerers and craftsmen, whose works included the Tain. Ruled by Connacht during the Wind Age, it was sacked and utterly razed when he returned as Balor during the Great War.
Myrgard
The ancestral home of the Dwarves. Along with the other major Dwarven city of Stoneheim, Myrgard was seized by the Ghôls over a century ago. Occupied for more than fifty years, Myrgard was finally liberated after the defeat of the Dark in the Great War. With the Ghôls driven out, the Dwarves returned, with a deeper hatred of their mortal enemies than ever before.
Rhi'anon
The ancient capital of the Trow. When Balor returned as the Leveller, it was in Rhi'anon that he raised his fortress, and led the Fallen. This was also his last battleground, where he fell to Alric in the final battle of the Great War.
Covenant
A major city in the Province. It was destroyed by Soulblighter early in the Great War, and razed again by The Watcher when The Head sent the Legion to recover the Total Codex. Sixty years later, in the war with Soulblighter, the Legion was again sent to recover the Codex from the newly rebuilt Library.
Mausoleum of Clovis, The
The mausoleum of Clovis, the first emperor of the Cath Bruig. Ceiscoran, a later emperor, hid the Ibis Crown in the crypt, to hide it from Balor's forces.
