Kingdom of Trevana: Trevana is a large kingdom that stretches east from the Indagon Sea to the border of the Serendra. A northern kingdom of Thareveth, Trevana sees a full range of seasons with cold winters and hot summers. Trevana is relatively flat kingdom that is heavily forested. The largest forest in Trevana is the Asion Forest, which is home to strange magics that many do not understand. Trevana is home to the Antion Mountain Range, which runs along its northwestern border of the kingdom. The main source of water for the kingdom is the Tiralion River and its tributaries, which provide freshwater to the kingdom’s villages. The capital city of Trevana is Arcena, which is the home of the current ruler of the kingdom.
--------------------
City of Arcena: Arcena is a sprawling city located in the heart of Trevana and sits along the Tiralion River. This large city has been built into a large hillside and is constructed predominantly of stone. Stone walls about four feet in width and ten feet in height surround the city. Impressive stone towers are located along the walls for easy defense, and members of Trevana’s army are stationed along the wall and throughout the city to maintain order. Located in the center of Arcena is a large marketplace and amphitheater. The north of the city contains the majority of residences. The west end of the city is where the estates of the nobility can be found. Across the city, one the east end is the slums where the poor inhabit. Finally, the south end of the city holds the city’s barracks.
--------------------
Village of Estana: Located on the edge of the Asion forest and along the Tiralion River, the Village of Estana is a small farming community. In the past Estana has suffered at the hands of raiders and foreign armies as the town has no defense. The lands of Estana are fertile from the river and serve the people who make their living here well. The village has a small marketplace in its town center, and does the majority of its trading in the city of Arcena. The majority of the homes in Estana are located on small farms, and as a result the people are spread out. In addition to farming, many hunters and trappers also live in Estana, hunting in the forests of Asion for their living.
--------------------
Asion Forest: The Asion Forest is the largest forest in Trevana. It stretches from the Village of Estana to the Indagon see, running over the Antion Mountains. The forest is thick with both deciduous and coniferous evergreen trees that stretch impossibly high. The forest is old and as a result its trees impressively tall with thick bases. The forest canopy is so thick that in places very little light is able to trickle through to the floor. The Tiralion River and its tributaries also cut through the forest.
--------------------
Eyris Grove: Eyris Grove is a sanctuary located within the Asion Forest. Within the borders of this grove no magic can be used and violence is not allowed. It is a place of protection and all are welcomed within its borders. The Guardians of Eyris are responsible for making sure that the rules of the grove are followed. Eyris Grove is made up of Willow trees, and no other type of tree or shrub will grow in this area. The Willows of Eyris Grove have leaves of shimmering gold that are present on the branches year round despite the weather. The grove is large, expanding across 500 acres.
--------------------
Ceydona Springs: Deep within the heart of the Asion Forest lies Ceydona Springs. This spring was formed when the earth shifted during a terrible storm. A crack split the earth and water poured forth and covered the land around it to form the springs. The water of Ceydona Springs is completely clear and is a blue color that glows silver in the moonlight. The water is warmed underground before it comes to the surface. The area itself is rocky, which has created small individual springs that hide one area from the next. These springs also have the ability to heal and many have gone in search of these waters to cure ailments and injuries. It is said that one only need to immerse themselves in the waters and all of their injuries and ailments will be cured. Because of springs powers, the Guardians of Ceydona are responsible for protecting this sacred area.
--------------------
Itantor Field: Itantor Field, also known as the Meadow of Souls, is located within the Antion mountain range within the Asion Forest. The clearing sits high above sea level and as a result it has a low cloud cover that sits around canopy height of the trees. It makes the area see perpetually foggy. Itantor Field sees colder weather than the rest of the areas in Trevana and it is often raining. Itantor Field has an old magic that none understand, but when moonlight hits this clearing, the souls of the dead are allowed to walk the earth. All are allowed to enter the clearing, however, the souls of the dead may not leave. The Guardians of Itantor are responsible for making sure the souls do not leave the clearing by maintaining the barrier that keeps them there. However it is said that if a soul does manage to cross the barrier that it will regain its human form.
