Places of Argaia

The world of Ashes is full of locations, from continent to cities and buildings. This list contains informations to help form a sense of grandeur of what Argaia is.

Abylon

• City.
• Last known ruler, at least before the Collection of Ashes, is Jericho Kill.
• The historic battle site of Abylon can be found in the outskirts of the city. This site is a powerful well of dormant magic. Those ruins are home of powerful ancient artifacts but they are not easy to navigate.

Argaia

• World, universe, realm created by Isaac Vega.
• Cities were cut off from each other for such a long period of time that they all developed their own culture, modernizing in their own way, away from the rest of the world.

Ashen Forest

• Region in Argaia.

Birdsnest

• Home of Fiona Mercywind.

Blackcloud

• Home to Brennen Blackcloud.
• Tallest mountain in the world. Also the name of the bleak and venerable city that sits at the top of it.
• Located on Ironside.
• Known to provide and send around the world the best assassins and mercenaries, mostly via House Blackcloud. This was one of the city biggest points of livelihood, most importantly during the Chimera era. And then, all that income and prosperity disappeared with the arrival of the Phoenixborn.
• Got its name from the smog pumped in the sky by the city’s industries.
• Blackcloud society is very stringent to the old ways of magic and the old ways of living.

Bloodwoods

• Woodland region on Eros.

Bone Sea

• Body of water located on Eros.

Curlston

Darmas

Delphi

• Home of the Final Pythia, a mystic.

Eros

• One of the continents that we can find in the northern part of Argaia. Close to Ironside.
• Mostly tundra and ice with a colder climate. With one exception, the Evermist Valley.

Erris Isle

• “Have you ever been to Erris Isle? Its walls are the angry sea that crashes upon sharp rocks hidden just beneath the waves. Its vineyards are grizzled fisherfolk resigned to one day dying on the job. Its culture is a lone brewhouse that’s made the same appalling swill for generations. I suppose if you’re a Phoenixborn looking for isolation, it’s paradise.” - Darius, Terminal Amurai

Evermist Valley

• Small city on Eros. Unnaturally warm for the region, it is full of hot springs, waterfalls and other things like that, giving it a tropical climate, suitable for plant life. This is not common on Eros.
• One of the few cities that actually doesn’t have a walled structure around it. The inhabitants are known for their peacefulness and kindness to strangers, and have a good connection to that valley.
• Home of Aradel Summergaard.
