The city of Moonglow is the main settlement on the Isle of Verity. It is often called "the City of Wizards" by outsiders and many of the Isle's practicioners of the magical arts maintain homes, schools, laboratories, and clubhouses there. It is a large, old, city although, thanks to its many magicians, it continues to remain splendid. The folk of Moonglow are fairly inward-looking, they are confident that their city is the equal, or the better, of any in the land and they can be overly preoccupied with local events.

Skara Brae is situated on the Misty Isle, an island very close to the coast of western Britannia. It is home to many who continue to venerate the old ways of ancestor worship, but these same folk are also supporters of the Virtuous Philosophy and seek to reconcile old and new beliefs. Skara Brae is the principle town of the region, and many live it in, or in the farming and fishing settlements that lie about it. The people of Skara Brae are often thought of as introverted or quiet. This is not completely true, although the folk there are a lot more restrained than some of their countrymen. They prefer a relative simple life of work, worship, and family.

Skara Brae is known for its continued veneration of the ancestors, and this is a very popular source of ancestral charms. Wizardry is not popular in Skara Brae, as the Speakers discourage it outside of specific uses, although there are some common magic spells that are used by some.

The Spiritwood is a densely wooded rugged area that spreads on either side of a small mountain range. It is home to self-reliant and tough settlers from Trinsic and Skara Brae whose ancestors moved to this region in days long gone. The area is ruled by minor lords, who tend to either look to Trinsic or Skara Brae, but who all also tend to be quite independent in practice. The Spiritwood, although apparently green and tranquil, can be a violent place. Goblins, ogres, and other less common creatures can lair in the peaks and the lords often feud over boundaries and, although less violent than they once were, these raids and minor skirmishes take place regularly.

The magic used by the inhabitants of the Spiritwood tends to practically oriented. They preserve a number of older charms and feats, as well as the more common spells used all over Britannia. Specialised magic is rare, outside of the Spiritual orders, although some few concentrate on common magic, becoming experts in the myriad folk magics of the countryside.
