[ The Four Great Cities | Other Locations ]

The Local Bush

The Local Bush is a glade located just a few miles outside the city of Hilsh. The forest that surrounds it is dark, dense and rumored to be inhabited by hostile creatures, and is therefore, avoided by local folk. Because of this, it also serves as a natural protection barrier to the city of Hilsh.

Umbra Swamp

The Umbra Swamp is a cold, forbidding area located several miles to the southwest of the city of Hilsh, and is also the largest known swamp in the continent of JaJarp. It is often covered with thick wisps of fog and also home to strange creatures, most of whom dislike humans. However, it is also rich in rare plants, which, along with the special materials from the creatures there, are often sought out by alchemists, blacksmiths and scientists for their experiments and potions.

Mere

The town of Mere can be found a few miles southwest of Hilsh. Because of its proximity to Hilsh, the town of Mere is considered to be the frontline town of Hilsh, and enjoys the protection of a fort nearby erected by the Hilsh soldiers. It is just a small town, though, roughly one-fourth the size of the great city, but is abundant in natural resources, particularly livestock. The people of Mere are especially good in raising and training the horses which are used to pull carriages.

Hilsh Dungeon

The Hilsh Dungeon in the outskirts of the city is an abandoned prison now occupied by Dwendes.

The Forgotten Mines

The Forgotten Mines are located northwest outside the Hilsh city walls. They were once the city’s main source of minerals, but have been abandoned since the discovery of the Lac. They are still rich in minerals, especially Palladium, although they are now guarded by the undead and some giants.
