Alfrit's Blessing marked the end of the war between giant and man. Alfrit, the king of the giants, offered himself as a sacrifice upon the gods to cease the shed of blood between the humans and his people.
So it was that he became cast into stone; his body was converted into a great hill, and he remains this way today. A small settlement of humans has converged near its basin, began by warriors that served witness to the spectacle at the war's end. They remain primarily secluded from the rest of the nations - some speculate they maintain some sort of relationship with the giants.

A sweep of grass-covered flatlands that make up much of the central Middle Continent. Many creatures, man and beast alike, claim this area to be home. Few nomadic people can be still be found circulating the area, though the occasional camp of giants or troupe of rogues are much more commonly sprung upon. Certain tracks of land are worn thin from traveling caravans - entertainers and merchants alike often take route in this area between cities; their paths can be easily followed, and guards often stalk these in an effort to maintain safety and peace.

The Ilean forest is a mass of trees that spreads throughout a large amount of the Middle Continent's western portions. It is hard to move through their mass without intruding on some sort of life - game such as boar and deer stalk freely through the trees, though predatorial animals move just as easily.
Stranger things still are said to lurk deep within the forest's mass. Talking trees, ancient spirits, and the elusive fairy-creatures are all said to reside within the woods of Ilean. However, dangerous creatures wait in the darkness, the giants have yet to abandon much of these areas, and you're drawing awfully close to the Far Lands...

Estermark is sunk deep into the lands as the great marshlands of the east. The marshes are slow to begin, and are encompassed by a variety of trees. Many free themselves from the forest only to find their selves trapped in the grasp of the marsh. A thick mist spreads from the marsh, acting as a potential hazard to a person's visage. Strange shadows lurk in the obscurity of the haze.
Many rare plants are native to this area; a person specializing in herbology may find themselves requiring certain ingredients from here.
Quite a few rogues and runaways have established homes for themselves in the humidity of this area. Powerful spirits are known to lurk in the depths of the marsh, along with more natural dangers.
