Gil'ead is a heavily fortified city that is controlled fully by the Empire. All who reside in these walls support the Empire, those who don't have no choice unless they wish their life to end.

Once belonging to the elves, Urû`bean now belongs to the Empire and is the Empire's capital now and where Galbatorix resides.

Next to Helgrind lies Dras-Leona, a mess sprawled out beside Leona Lake where ramshackle buildings sit on crooked streets.

The Spine is a place where almost everyone avoids. Strange things are said to happen in this wooded mountain range; finding someone here is unusual.

With a large two-hundred foot wall surrounding the city, it is heavily guarded by the Empire. Within the walls lie a grey land with desolate people.

Nestled in the mountain range of the Spine, Carvahall is a small, simple town. Although away from the Empire, Galbatorix still rules over this land somewhat and occasionally sends soldiers down to draft young men.

Here lies Surda's capital, Aberon, where King Orrin rules the Varden-aligned land; slowly the people are beginning to rebel even more from the Empire yet have made no outbursts against their enemy.

Lying southwest of Aberon, Reavestone is a peaceful community within Surda that relies mainly on fishing or farming industries. The population here is low.

Lithgow is north of the capital and remains moreover peaceful still. The population is moderate but here people are beginning to pull together their resources against the Empire and sending what they've made to Aberon.

Dauth lies on the edge of Surda, bordering lands belonging to the Empire further east. In using their boarder as an advantage, few guerrilla warfare's have started here.

The Beor Mountain Range is the tallest mountain range within the lands; the heights reach over ten miles high. The further up you travel, the thinner the air gets. Flying over the mountain range is almost impossible.

Underneath the Beor Mountains lies one of the dwarf cities known as Farthen Dûr. Here many dwarves reside.

Yet another one of the dwarf lands, lying beneath the mountains of Beor. It's located near Farthen Dûr, but a bit north.

The elf capitol, Ellesméra, lies within the heart of the forest of Du Weldenvarden. Here Queen Islanzadi lives; by far, the capitol is the most populated region in the forest.

Here lies one of the greatest elven cities. Silthrim is located on the southern shore of Ardwen Lake.

The southernmost city of the elves is Kirtan, though still a many good miles from the Hadarac Desert.

Yet another elf city, Osilon lies westward, toward the Empire. Not many elves live here, however.

The Northern part of the Hadarac desert boarders some land that soon connects to the land of the elves. Nomads are only found in this region.

The south part of the Hadarac Desert boarder lands near the Beor Mountains and some land belonging to the Empire. Nomads are still the only ones found in this area.

Western Hadarac boarders mainly Empire lands. Throughout this region, many bandits, nomads, and slave-drivers are found.

Eastern Hadarac boarders mainly wild lands that go to either the Beor Mountains or to the elves. Nomads are found here, but very rarely.
