Vrist is the large mountain range that surrounds the north, south, and west sides of the secluded Afarius. The northern section of these mountains are extremely harsh, having deadly cold weather and always seen topped off with snow while the west are merely mild and the south more desert-like in appearance and climate. No matter where you are within these mountain ranges, temperatures--especially at night--drop below zero degrees.

The west plains that boarder Vrist and fade into Lysoria. Like any plains, Celesthem obtains tall grasses that obscure the rodents that roam below. Many die within this land area because of carelessness; snake bites occur here quite often which has made most flee from inhabiting these lands. Nevertheless, there are few who are brave enough to battle the other living things and elements within this harsh region. With hardly any shelter, Celesthem is a harsh region to get used to though not as unforgiving as the mountain range of Vrist. The plains stretch on for miles and miles usually without a tree in sight.

The main town of the kingdom of Afarius lies here, a settlement that slowly fades into an inhabitable area from bordering the plains of Celesthem. Most of the people reside here, homes located in different regions from shacks and huts to nicer homes that provide more shelter; the poor and middle-class though some upperclassman, reside here. A few trees are found throughout the settlement though it is mostly clear with a main dirt road creased with years of wagon and carriage wheels. Within the town is one pub, various stores, homes, and further out larger settlements for farmers and livestock.

Roughly twenty or so miles of lightly forested area lies between Aeroch Heights and Lysoria. Here is where the upperclassman and royalty mainly reside. A large, gothic-style castle lies sturdily upon a shallow hill, overlooking the large manors below. Instead of dirt roads, there are more cobble-stoned roads and nicer buildings with better upkeep. The livestock here are all fed contently and many feasts occur frequently. The large town is picturesque in appearance with a sense of tranquility and favor of any arts. Flowers bloom here abundantly; even in the winter this place seems more like a dream.

Flowing eastward, Fresnia fades into its true forest roughly a mile or two after the wealthy town of Aeroch Heights. At first, these woods seem oddly pleasant with plenty of sunlight streaming through the thick mass of entangled trees but the warm feeling ends abruptly as the sunlight seems to become more obscured as you continue eastward. The eerie feeling creeps back in, contrasting greatly with the town just left behind. The further inward, the more the trees seemingly tangle up with one another where no foliage grows. There are few houses within these forests and occasionally there will be an abandoned shelter or cabin on your passing as a forewarning of some lurking, unsolved mystery that has happened within this area. At the end of the forest, many, many miles down--unless you know the shortcut--the darkness fades away and light once more shines in

Here lies the eastern-most part of Afarius. Slowly appearing from the bordering forest, Fresnia, Va'vua is the main seaport--the only seaport in the kingdom. The town within Va'vua, which there are many, are all closely knit and small in population. People who work at sea live close by though the sea can also be unfriendly in many ways. The towns within this seaport area are blocked off with large walls on some sides from the sea where harsh storms have been warded off a little.

Here lies the main gate to the lands. Charn is at the base of the seaport, a gate among the water-stained, somewhat bleak walls. Even so, Charn is a beautiful architectural masterpiece, made of iron with intricate designs of the same iron. It reaches roughly fifteen feet up and is constantly patrolled by at least two to three guards. This is the legal entrance to Afarius and also serves as protection against their weakest side.

Vanysh is a small island, moreover forgotten that lies on the eastern side of Afarius. It's more of a neutral land than anything.

To the west of Afarius lies Selance, their neighbor. Though these countries enjoy trades now and then, they have never been on solid good terms and attacks between the two occur often. Selance is more of a desert-like place.
