Dream Cycle - Geography

Geography

The Dreamlands is apparently divided into four regions:

• the "West" (location of Steps of Deeper Slumber, the port of Dylath-Leen (largest city of the Dreamlands), the town of Ulthar (where no man may kill a cat), Hlanith (a coastal jungle city), Ilarnek (a desert trade capital), Mnar (known for its grey stones in which are carved the protection sign against the Old Ones), the ruins of Sarnath on the shores of a lake dedicated to Bokrug and Enchanted Wood);
• the "South" (location of the isle of Oriab and the Fantastic Realms);
• the "East" is (location of the city Celephaïs, created from cloth by its monarch King Kuranes, the greatest of all recorded dreamers, and The Forbidden Lands);
• and "the North" (location of the feared Plateau of Leng, complete with man-eating spiders and satyr-like beings known as the "Men of Leng").

Other locales include "The Underworld" (a subterranean region underneath the Dreamlands and inhabited by monsters), the "Moon" (accessible via a ship and inhabited by "moon-beasts", creatures allied with Nyarlathotep) and Kadath, a huge castle atop a mountain and the domain of the "Great Ones".
