Elgerlia
Elgerlia, the Old World they call it these days. But I think "Old" would be the incorrect word. It is the heartland of culture and civilisation itself, home to the glorious Empire which I reside in. It is a beautiful masterpiece of the Gods, I tell you, with enough to interest peoples from all callings of life. For scholars there is a rich mix of history, culture, and geography over each region. For adventurers there are secret and hidden ruins to civilisations of a lost age, all full of valuables. For the holy there are countless religious sites and doctrines which the Empire allows for. For the mystic we have the safest routes to the Faar Isles and to the Magical Academy of the Golden Spire. Elgerlia is a mix of beauty and tranquillity and for those readers that do not live on this Old World already, I would recommend packing your bags this instant.

Frostern
Frostern, now that is a place dear to my own heart. As my mother was a Korg I feel a very special connection to the people of that place. It's rugged but beautiful glens and forests give a chill down your spine and no, that's not just the temperature! While not all of Frostern is in the far north of Elgerlia, it is no mistake that it is far colder than Mylrondia, especially in winter. The stormy weather and icy winds of being bordered almost completely by raging oceans and not having dormant volcanic hotspots like Mylrondia gives Frostern a very apt name. Frostern is no doubt a place that breeds hardy folk. Why, my mother for example could snap a log for the fire with her bare hands! And with hardy people comes strong attitudes, strong arms, and strong nationalism. Never double cross a Korg of Frostern.

Frostern Hold
Talvel's Point is the second of the nine major cities in Frostern I come to and both capital settlement of Frostern Hold and the Kingdom of Frostern for as long as anyone can recall. The city is known to attract several legendary figures and adventurers due to the Temple of Thodir and Guild Hall of the Champions of Thodir both being held within the strong timber walls which surround it. I approach the city still on the famed Great Imperial Road which cuts through Talvel's Point from the north, over the Bekkar River, and out the south-west. Attractions to this beautiful city obviously includes the only Temple dedicated to Thodir (local God of brawls, drinking and adventure for any foreign readers), the mythical Stone of Dathran used in the coronation rituals of the High King, and in my humble opinion, the best damned inn you could hope for in all Frostern (don't tell my grandmother of the Running Stag Inn) The Bloody Sword.
