- Aldamar (Treehome) – High in the treetops the Elberethi village of Aldamar could be easily missed by a traveler not looking for it. The tree houses are connected by rope catwalks and wooden bridges. The Elberethi elves lead a happy life in the forest isolated from humankind.
- Around 400 elves live in the trees of Aldamar. They usually don't show hostility towards travelers unless they are obviously planning on harming elves or destroying elfin land. In most cases, the elves will completely ignore a party that contains no elves. The elves are isolationists and do not wish to involve themselves in the affairs of mankind. They will aid the Ard Righ of Eirbron in time of war if the need is great. (click to close)

- Dundness – population 500 – This thriving village located on a crossroads, just south of Vebronia, stretches along the banks of the Eagle river and sees plentiful barge traffic. The village supports several granaries on the riverfront, but village residents live in homes on a bluff overlooking the river. The town's only inn, the Dundness Inn, has been built on a peer and caters to barge folk. Barges, keel boats and other vessels can moor at the inn's wharf at no charge as long as they patronize the inn. (click to close)

Saltmarsh – About 2,000 people inhabit the growing port town of Saltmarsh. The sails of merchants' galleys dot the harbor and myriad fishing boats cover the water like autumn leaves in a shaded well. The sooty smoke of dozens of chimneys and the distinct odor of dead fish hangs like a blanket over the town.
Saltmarsh's population swells to nearly 4,000 on holy and feast days when peasants from the surrounding countryside come to worship in Salmarsh’s three major temples – dedicated to Lilnana, St. Cuthbert and the Sea gods.
