 === Irogueil Peak ===
 Locals will often refer to this mountain in Concordia as the //Peak of Falling Stars.// This mountain holds a special place in the hearts of all the dreamt, for it is here where the First Dream is said to have been born. On the top of the mountain is a shrine dedicated to the First Dream. During the //Festival of the Dancing Skies,// a meteor shower occurs along with a bright aurora that colors the sky. This festival celebrates the First Dream and is a cause for merriment among the Dreamt.
+==== Ochr Arall ====
+The "wilds" of the Dreaming so to speak, the definition of this space is inexact, and is generally used as a ctach all for any area meeting 1 of 2 cases. The first being areas outside the control of the Courts of the Dreaming, where they have little to no influence. The second reason is a more historical one. Depending on whether someone enters the Slumbering Woad from Jearn or Cahyali they will be spat out in different locations (on average.) The Ochr Arall is used in reference to where one will end up when traveling from Cahyali.
+=== The Library of Archser ===
+Nearby a lake, the library was a common connecting point between the Dreaming and Ancient Vervand and was where much of the knowledge learned from the Vervish people, Cahyali in general, and other locations was stored. The library seems quaint from the outside but the inside is a sprawling 50 floors structured as rings around an open air center. Additionally each floor is 2 sided, as touching the ceiling of a floor will reverse gravity for the individual, as a result to anyone unaware of this it would seem like the upper half of each floor has it's tomes places upside down. That being said due to a tragedy in its history the librarians all disappeared leaving the golem they made, whose mind was transplanted into an organic body.
+Angie, as she's called, is a 4'3 humanoid with the characteristics of both an anglerfish and a harpy eagle. Though quiet she is curious and will allow anyone to peruse the library as long as they are respectful, and if she deems them well-intentioned can immediately copy the contents of a book into a blank one for them to take with them.
+==== Amann Grasslands ====
+These grasslands are characterized by how they look throughout the “day.” This area has a sun though it doesn’t appear to follow a consistent time cycle, some cycles of the sun feeling like minutes while others weeks. That being said, at “noon” the grasslands are a plain biome with yellow grass and alarming heat from the sun beating down and the utter lack of shade. As the sun goes down trees start to appear as it transitions from a yellow grassland to a red savannah to a purple forest to a deep purple jungle. At “night” one can barely see their hand in front of their face as the sky lacks anything, no moon, no stars. Additionally this is when the creatures come out from the ground and skulk through the jungle. “Nighttime” has smaller (humanoid and down) sized creatures that tend to be more agile. Meanwhile the “day” has larger creatures that have more strength but seem to move rather slowly.
+=== Fyurio River ===
+A slow moving river with water so crystal clear you can see your reflection in it. If you make eye contact with your reflection, it will reach out to grab your face in a manner in which to cover your eyes. In the event that it is successful the unfortunate victim will get a slideshow like vision of a fear they didn't know they had. One such recorded instance a man saw his wife and his most hated enemy getting married. The River water is safe to drink.
+=== Setser ===
+A city only visible to the Dreamt or those with knowledge of a special rune Setser is known as the city of stars. An eternal night hangs over the city, and it is here where all the stars that are missing from the night sky are. Despite the aforementioned night the city is alight with people and activity and this is because the residents all seem to have some degree of bioluminescence. Imagine the lights of a big city but the streets are less packed and it’s in the style of a quaint village. The settlement itself is built with the trees of the jungle as the focus. Many are hollowed out for use as buildings and platforms, with bridges connecting them. The easiest way to locate the town is to follow the Fyurio River.
+=== The [] of Vravus ===
+At the edge of the grasslands is the [] of Vravus. The reason for the empty space in the name is because it can be any size body of water and can be made of water vapor, liquid water, or ice. The Vravus is a place where one can view their past and try to focus on something to guide them, but they must be careful because with the wrong mindset it could end up regressing them to that mental state or time. Worse yet they could get lost in the metaphorical sea of others' pasts.
+As previously mentioned the state is variable but to the Dreamt's best knowledge the state it depends on how one feels about their past. If they suffer from amnesia or have a lot of mysteries and questions it will be ice, tough to break into, but if it's lighter it'll be vapor. The size is a representation of the scope of the problems. No further explanation on what that means has been provided.
+==== The Peracog Night ====
+The Peracog Night (or Peracog Nide as old text will call it) lays on the very far outskirts of the Dreaming. Once entered there's this overwhelming feeling that something is watching you, that the trees have eyes, that there’s something you’re not seeing. Something you can’t see. The landscape of the Dreaming has always been inexact, in mere moments a mountain may be leveled, a forest may spring from the ground, caverns may form. Here it’s almost as if rather that changing new landscapes get overlaid onto it.
+Upon first entering it the ground is muddy and wet, one’s feet sinking into the dirt with a splosh. At first glance it seems like a rather ordinary forest, though colored with shades of red, but then looking deeper into it looks like something washed much of the soil away as the ground is covered in gnarled roots that make the land hard to traverse. Where the roots do meet the ground it looks almost as if the two have merged the ground clinging to the sides of the roots, as if not wanting to be torn away. From the mess of roots trees rise towards the ceiling. In most forests you would see layers of leaves and branches, but not here. Here there is a darkness covering the forests with the ceiling looking like the roof of the cave. Additionally, rather than branching out the trees simply enter the ceiling that looks to be a tangled mass of leaves matted together to create a solid boundary.
+If one were to put something into it, it would be as easy as slipping a hand into water though it feels solid and no ripples occur. That being said, removing something pushed in is practically impossible, it’s almost as if the item is being integrated into the forest.
+It only gets weirder the farther in. At some point you may notice a tree with a piece cut out of it, and in the center is a bamboo stalk. This is deemed the last point of safety and anyone who knows of this place would advise you to turn back now. That being said some have traveled beyond this point and while accounts vary wildly one consistency is the existence of a vast sea, expanding eternally out into the horizon.
