The hill of Asquith is the formation where three powerful kingdoms meet: Lythe, Mor’aire, and Argyll. It is the only place in Zenith where such an occurrence happens. It belongs not to any one kingdom, but to itself. Asquith is where the Fates of Zenith had first come down to bestow their magick upon the King of Lythe and his heir, where Prince Kym'rin of Kingdom Mor'aire had fallen in love with Princess Anoria of Kingdom Lythe, and the same place where the Fates had cursed the two lovers and set forth a legacy of much pain and grief.
One of the only two rivers in Zenith, the River Lorayne is said to contain powerful, life-healing components in its water. It is the source from which the Leikins draw their magick. Because of it's mystical properties and purity, only those of equally pure intent can come in contact with it. When a person filled with evil and darkness touches the water, the water turns poisonous and caustic, burning and oftentimes killing the devious person.
This enchanted forest borders Kingdom Lythe. A magickal spell ensconces it from trespassers. Only a select few can enter the forest. Whispering Woods is home to the Immortal Lythen Princess, Princess Anoria. Its name derives from the fact that it can whisper back songs to a person.
This is the mountain range that borders Kingdom Mor'aire. It is a treacherous terrain of rocks and brittle ground and holds a labyrinth of caves that lead deep into its heart. The name comes from its dark, ominous countenance.
This is the castle of the Leikins, located in Kingdom Lythe. Known as the White Castle for its color, it is a colossal mass of twisting walls and never-ending towers that reach high into the sky. Sarson houses not only the royal family, but all the inhabitants of the kingdom as well.
Located in the heart of Kingdom Argun, this is King Warwyck's home. It is a castle filled mainly with warriors. Carved from the side of a mountain, it is a truly formidable fortress worthy of the great Kingdom of Argun.
Castle Morraignne is the seat of the dark Kingdom of Mor'aire. It is a place of pain and death. In an effort to rebuild the cursed kingdom, Prince Kym'rin tears the crumbling castle apart with his bare hands and builds a new castle in its place. The act is symbolic of him wishing to wipe away any reminder of the curse and painful past of Kingdom Mor'aire, replacing the bitter memories with new ones. The new seat is called Castle Isolde, named after the Fate who selflessly gave her life for love of Zenith and love of her beloved, Drakar, Prince of Dragons.
