The Sand Witch story:

1. The Sand Witch Mountains - A large mountain range in The Desert, a place merely named for the dryness and heat suffusing it.

2. Nibyna - A large port city on the edge of The Desert, very much a merchant's and tourist's paradise.

3. Sumarne - A port city some half a day and night's journey from Nibyna. A seedier place of darker, more exotic exports with a more quiet, laid back section further from the docks where everyday people live.

Sword's Story:

1. "Yalmire was not a city known for more than its vices. Gambling, the trade of flesh, and exotic drugs were the realest currency the city dealt in. Only those with nowhere else to possibly go and those with no interest in being decent living beings lived there. There were the few and powerful presiding over the many and desperate, foolish and addicted." (Quote.)
