Bim: Birthplace of Holy Mother Bim is a lowland crossroads at the lip of the Geldcrass Plains, where the island’s main east-west highway splits and runs north to the port of Fairpont and onwards to Rochpont. Once a quiet market town servicing the local farms, it is now a renowned place of pilgrimage – the birthplace of the current Holy Mother – and a natural waystation on the main trading route to and from Aranthaes.   Setting & First Impressions Approaching from the east, the highway crests a green rise

Frey: In the Shadow of Mother’s Egg Frey is a modest but vital town on the Aranthaes Highway, lying between the great merchant centers of Geldcrass and Lantear – and at the crossroads leading south to the port of Geldsan, through the treacherous and rocky Geldsan Pass. Though small, Frey’s fertile lands and its commanding position at this busy crossroads make it a place of both risk and reward.   Setting & First Impressions Frey spreads across flat, fertile ground at the southern edge of the Lantear Plains. Its fields

Alehos: A Place for Preparation and Recovery Alehos is a small but strategic town on the Aranthaes Highway, set between Frey and Lantear at the southern edge of the Lantear Plains. Though modest in size, its importance lies in its road leading south to the Draktun Pass, and onwards to the infamous port of Draktun. Travelers know Alehos as a place to prepare for security, to hide illicit goods, and a point of gathering before the road diverges into more dangerous country.   Setting & First Impressions Alehos crowns a

Lantear: Tollgate on the Tear The island’s second great crossroads, Lantear commands the western approach to Aranthaes – a place where all roads merge. Set at the eastern end of Aranthaes Tear, a long narrow lake of jet-black water, Lantear is Geldcrass’ hard-edged rival: a place of commerce first, courtesies second, where deals are struck on the road to the capital and tolls can bite hard on a ledger’s line.   Setting & First Impressions Lantear climbs a ridge running north south above the Tear, part of a long mountain

Oatcrass: The Way of the Oaty Pie Oatcrass is a small farming town set between Cove and Bersh, forming the central link of the circular route known locally as the “Oaty Pie” due to it’s shape being similar to that of a regional delicacy. Surrounded by golden fields and bright sunflowers, Oatcrass is known for its warm hospitality, fertile soil, and its role as the gathering point for the farming and fishing communities of the north shore.   Setting & First Impressions Oatcrass nestles in a shallow valley at the

Bersh: Fields of Plenty Bersh is a quiet farming town set among the rolling wheat and pasturelands north of Lantear. Known for its fertile soil and broad, open fields, it provides much of the grain, cattle, and dairy that feed Aranthaes, Lantear and the smaller communities along the Oaty Pie route. Bersh is a place of seasonal rhythms, where the land’s bounty dictates the pace of life.   Setting & First Impressions The town sits atop a low hill, its stone houses and church spire visible for miles across the

Geldpont: Gateway of the Bay Geldpont is the oldest and most storied deep-water harbor on Great Aranthaes. Rising from the rocky shores of Geldpont Bay, the town has grown from a humble fishing village into one of the principal maritime portals of the island, welcoming ships from across the world. It is here that countless pilgrims first set foot on Aranthaes, beginning their long journey toward Bim and the holy city itself. Proud and venerable, Geldpont never lets its younger rival New Haven forget that the bay bears its name.

New Haven: Port of Second Chances New Haven is the younger rival to Geldpont, a deep-water harbor built at the mouth of the Black River after it splits into two channels before meeting Geldpont Bay. Ambitious and cosmopolitan, it has grown rapidly into a hub of trade, benefiting from a shorter land route to Geldcrass and the Aranthaes Highway. Though Geldpont sneers at its youth, New Haven embraces its reputation as the “place of second chances,” a town where fortune can be remade.   Setting & First Impressions New Haven

Geldsan: Sentinel of the Pass At the southern end of the narrow, treacherous Geldsan Pass lies Geldsan – a compact, stone-built harbor town clinging to its shallow bay. Though its waters can barely welcome medium craft, the townsfolk have extended a stubby peninsula of warehouses and docks into the sea, transforming their inlet into a vital lifeline for smaller trade caravans and coastal traders alike.   Setting & First Impressions The pass curves into a cramped, rocky valley where Geldsan’s terracotta roofs and stacked stone houses huddle close. The artificial
