Dustari: In the North, beyond the long expanse of mountain, is the deadly underground fortress of New Talim that hosts a score of skaven, or ratmen. These creatures roam most of the island, and are skilled in combat.
In the southeast, there's an expanse of mountain known as the Giant's Hand. This is home to a mountain-dwelling variety of cyclopes, short, one eyed creatures that can shoot paralyzing beams from their single eye. There's also rumors that on the top of a mountain is an entrance to the inner portion, which is rumored to be an active volcano, and home to the dargynes, or wyrems as some call them.
Dustari has a plains feel to it, and there are things such as wild horses and adders all around.
Forest: The more foresty regions of the Forest Kingdom are home to the deadly creatures, the Tor'Ta, or lizardman. Their weapon of choice is the scimitar and they are ruthless at their task of conquering the island for themselves, then harvesting its vast gem mines.
The forest is home to many magical creatures, such as the farei, small winged creatures that live around places of magical origin, such as gem mines. However, a gate has recently opened up near a large monolith known as Ragnor Rock, and callous demons have poured out of it. This is at the very center of the Grand Forest. The demons have lured many fareis to their doom, promising them incredible beauty, and then striking them with a dark hand, corrupting them and turning them into impelings. Some of the more vicious demons have started to corrupt animals like the normally peaceful wolves, and turning them into warvs.
Pirate Island: Because Pirate Island is beyond the jurisdiction of authority, many bandits and highwaymen have set themselves up along the roadsides, hoping to strike it rich. As they say, "A fool and his gold are soon parted." Bandit camps dot the landscape. In paticular, a foul orginization known as The Black Opal have started largescale smuggling operations. They're lead by a woman only known as "The Opal Queen" and are rumored to have set up headquarters in the northwest point of Pirate Island.
Pirate Island is close to the equineo, or the place where the bomy sun and the human sun project the most heat. Due to this, Pirate Island is very tropical and sports a broad range of shell bomies, as well as some large birds-of-pray.
Samurai: The ancient Samurai are not without their problems. The shei-do-gou, or the ancient demons, have inhabited Samurai Island for centuries. To taunt the samurai, the shei-do-gou take on the appearances of some of the ancient samurai and warlords. Their true forms are said to be that of a chaotic mist.
To the North, near the Samurai's town, lives the great wyrems known to the samurai as the Sahe-wai clan. These ancient dragons live deep in their lairs, supposedly surrounded by vast, vast riches. The dragons and humans have managed to co-exist peacefully, as the Samurai do not value material wealth well enough to risk their lives and their peace trying to steal gold.
