A majority of Kosov's wealthiest residents live in intricately carved residences along the cliff stairwell. During the night, these citizens can afford to illuminate their dens with magical fire, so the face of the U-shaped cliff is said to light up from the hundreds of residences lined against the stone face. The higher one travels up the Tower Wards, the more elaborate and elegant the dwellings become.

The bustling heart of Kosov, like all cities, is located on the flat ground at the foot of the Tower Wards, where the majority of the commoners live and work their daily trades. Lower Kosov is known affectionately as "The Pit," since it is claustrophobic-ly enveloped on three sides by the curving walls of the Tower Wards.

For weary starved travelers rounding the crest of the last hill into the Valley of Faralyn, the first glimpse of lush green orchards and forests and sparkling rivers is an unforgettable experience comparable to stumbling into Heaven. As Empire Himaryn's breadbasket and most prized possession, Faralyn (and proximity to it) was the driving reason why the imperial capital was moved to Kosov.

The swift waters of the Hashi River cleave the Faralyn Valley into two halves. The populous and settled eastern bank is what is commonly referred to as "Faralyn," while the Western Hinterlands are covered in leagues upon leagues of dense hardwood forest and towering trees that reach into the sky. The woodland is so vast, only a handful of Rangers know exactly how large the Hinterlands are.

Years ago, an earthquake split the earth and created a steep ravine that divided the Sehali. The eastern portion has since then been called Malenhal Savannah, after the excessive abundance of native prickly shrubs known as Malenhals. The eastern savannah receives little rain and is more dust-ridden than its western counterpart, but the Malenhal has watering holes and several small meandering rivers that do not dry up seasonally like those in the Sehali.

At the northern frontier of the Himaryn Empire, the steppes form a simultaneous barrier and battleground against the relentless barbarians from the outlands. Himaryn has been at war with these nomadic tribesmen for centuries, since the haerla herds migrate across the national borders seasonally. This leaves either the Sehali or the barbarians deprived of prey, which is plenty cause to justify war.

The ruins of the Old Capital Nairsov speak little of its yesteryear majesty, but they are still an awesome sight to see. In an otherwise featureless landscape, it dominates the horizon with its broken spires, crumbling walls, and weathered cathedrals. What remains of the city clings to the edge of a massive crater, and some rubble piles may suggest the city is slowly slipping down its sides.

Due north of the Old Capital, a trail leads to looming shadow of the southern Quatash Mountains, where greedy prospectors have established a rowdy boom-town over the numerous lucrative metal mines drilled into the mountains. The town has a particularly questionable reputation—many ex-criminals and wanted rogues are known to lurk here, eager to accept rather... illegal assignments.

The higher expanse of the Altarspire plateau is known as the White Quabri, and it is famous for its icicle smooth flatness. However, perhaps it is more remembered for its vicious storm-force winds that blow incessantly for days, and the bone-freezing temperatures that cut like knives. It must be crossed by all travelers in order to reach the Beyondlands.

Due to the sheer lethality of Altarspire's climate, few have had the audacity to attempt to chart the geography of Altarspire. As a result, incredulous landmarks such as Vestige's Crest remain popular legend. After all, how could floating boulders and rocks that defy gravity exist? Well, here's something to know: this urban legend is absolutely true. Only, few have witnessed it and made it out of Altarspire alive.
