The Places
- Elktrap Manor: Northern manor held by Riyan and Ruala. Elktrap belonged to Princemarch before Riyan became its Lord through his marriage to Ruala. The colors are blue and green.
- Faolain Lowland: A southern Desert holding near the Faolain River. In the war between Princemarch and the Desert, this Keep was used as an early base of operations. Nearly all the food and goods the Keep had to offer were used to support Chay's army. Baisal, the holding's Lord, had approached Rohan in 698 for stone in order to upgrade his Keep; after the supposrt he gave to the Desert, Baisal received his stone.
- The Long Sand: The open expanse of desert sands that stretches across the Desert princedom. There is no water for miles, nor any shelter from the burning sun. The Long Sand is home to the Isulk'im, whom roam the Desert.
- Radzyn Keep: The Desert's most prosperous Keep, its largest and safest port, and the home of the Battle Commander of the Desert, Chaynal. Radzyn is also known for its horses. The importance of this Keep is such that Chaynal, Lord of Radzyn Keep, is the only Athri with a banner of his own: a silver sword emblazoned on red bordered by white, then bordered by blue.
- Remagev: The last Keep in a line that once stretched to Surise Waters, Remagev was where Prince Zagroy made his last stand against the Merida. Since his victory the Keep fell into disarray and was in danger of being swallowed by the Long Sand. At the gathering of 705, the Keep was given to Walvis, Rohan's first squire, for his devotion and leadership against the Merida in the Battle of Tiglath. Under Walvis' governance, Remagev became a strong, working Keep and a training ground for young Lords and Princes across the Continent. Training at Remagev under Walvis became not only the next step in a noble's battle training, but paved the way for younger sons to become Medr'im, a type of police force that upheld the High Prince's Writ.
- Rivenrock Canyon: Breeding ground of the dragon's near Stronghold. It was here that Sioned and Rohan rescued Maarken and Jahni from a hatchling and discovered dragon's gold. After the plague the dragons left Rivenrock until Pol cleansed the Desert with Fire during the sorcerer's duel with Ruval.
- Whitecliff Manor: The holding the Heir to Radzyn Keep opens upon his marriage. Once he becomes Lord of Radzyn, the Manor is closed once more. Whitecliff's colors are red and orange.

Famous quotes containing the words the places and/or places:
“All good books are alike in that they are truer than if they had really happened and after you are finished reading one you will feel that all that happened to you and afterwards it all belongs to you; the good and the bad, the ecstasy, the remorse, and sorrow, the people and the places and how the weather was. If you can get so that you can give that to people, then you are a writer.”
—Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961)
“The journalists think that they cannot say too much in favor of such “improvements” in husbandry; it is a safe theme, like piety; but as for the beauty of one of these “model farms,” I would as lief see a patent churn and a man turning it. They are, commonly, places merely where somebody is making money, it may be counterfeiting.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“The greatest, or rather the most prominent, part of this city was constructed with the design to offer the deadest resistance to leaden and iron missiles that might be cast against it. But it is a remarkable meteorological and psychological fact, that it is rarely known to rain lead with much violence, except on places so constructed.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
