The northern regions, a remote and largely unexplored part of the world, sit precariously between the savage lands to the north and the flourishing kingdom of Castlemere. This area is a tapestry of mystery, ancient history, and diverse cultures, woven together by the few who dare to inhabit it. This land may have looked much different when the Titans ruled the lands, but over time it became inhabited largely by human settlers who dared to settle up to the mountain range.
Glamdural, the citadel of the Dwarves, stands as a testament to their might and architectural prowess. Nestled within another grand mountain, its stone halls echo the glory of a race little known to the outside world. The Dwarves, reclusive and formidable, once waged a great war against the Goblins, decimating their numbers and altering the region's political landscape forever. The remnants of the Goblins fled, eventually finding refuge and forming three clans at Dragon Forge, a testament to the enduring spirit of those who survive in these lands.
The Dwarves once served the Titans, and after their fall built their own mighty outposts designed to stand for ages.
Illduran represents a stark contrast to the might of Glamdural. These majestic elven woods are shrouded in an air of mystery and tranquility. The elves, with their ancient wisdom and deep connection to the natural world, have remained isolated, posing no threat or alliance to the mountainous strongholds of their neighbors. Their seclusion has only deepened the enigma of Illduran, making it a place of speculation and wonder among the few humans who know of it.
The elves were created by the Titans as heralds, minstrels and artisans thousands of years earlier - they now remain to themselves as humans encroached upon their ancient woods.
Human settlements dot the landscape, each with its own story and struggle for survival.
Ac'Scrin serves as a frontier outpost, the closest semblance of civilization near Dragon Forge and the Undermountain. Populated by hardy frontier colonists and outlanders, its few hundred souls find solace in the modest comforts provided by one large Inn, a beacon of hospitality in the wilderness.
Castlemere, the capital of the Human Kingdom, stands in stark contrast to the remote settlements that dot the northern regions. Home to tens of thousands, this bustling city is the heart of human civilization in the area, ruled by a King under a feudal system. Despite its prominence, Castlemere's influence wanes in the border towns, with
Ac'Scrin barely registering in the crown's concerns.
Little is known about the other settlements - beyond their allegiance to Castlemere.

Star Haven adds another layer to the complex tapestry of the northern regions. This coastal human settlement operates as an independent city-state, its affairs and governance shrouded in mystery to those outside its walls.
Together, these locations paint a picture of a region filled with diversity, history, and a delicate balance of power. The northern regions, with their untamed wilderness, ancient citadels, and mysterious forests, remain a place where adventure and danger walk hand in hand, a challenge to those who dare to explore its secrets.
