    🗺️ “The Greenwood West” 🗺️

    ~ ancient forests, noble ruins, rebellion, and living myth ~

    💥 The Sylwyth Weald
    ✨ Location -:- Vast central-west forest region covering much of the interior.
    ✨ Description -:- Ancient, dark green canopy divided into five main groves. The heartland of Haus Duskmere, alive with whispering spirits.


    💥 Haus Duskmere
    ✨ Location -:- Northeast rim of the Weald atop the Duskmere Mountains, overlooking the valley.
    ✨ Description -:- A blackstone fortress with perpetual wind and a white birch on its tower — the ancestral seat of House Blackwood.


    💥 Western Highlands
    ✨ Location -:- Northwestern corner of the map, beyond Duskmere’s shadow.
    ✨ Description -:- Cold moors and heathered uplands dotted with cairns. The old marches once patrolled by Ser Wulfric in his youth.


    💥 Strathmore
    ✨ Location -:- Southwest of the Weald near the forest’s edge, along the merchant roads.
    ✨ Description -:- Fertile river valley and trading shire — Lady Evelyne’s homeland. Now taxed heavily by Harold’s regime.


    💥 Hidden Grove (Outlaw Camp)
    ✨ Location -:- Deep within the western half of the Weald, between two rivers and sheltered by birch and oak.
    ✨ Description -:- Robert’s resistance camp — tree-platforms, rope bridges, concealed fires. The forest itself hides its paths.


    💥 The Thorncoil Road
    ✨ Location -:- Switchback road climbing from the Weald’s valley floor to Haus Duskmere’s gate.
    ✨ Description -:- Serpentine trail flanked by thorns and old stone shrines. Patrols rarely return unscathed.


    💥 Duskmere Mountains
    ✨ Location -:- Eastern border of the Weald, dividing forest from the High Dorsal Ridge (the midpoint between East and West).
    ✨ Description -:- Jagged ridges of black granite and snowmelt streams. Echoes of old druids’ chants still linger here.


    💥 Echoing Arch
    ✨ Location -:- Inside Haus Duskmere’s inner court.
    ✨ Description -:- Stone arch that repeats voices days later; during storms, it whispers names of oathbreakers.

    💥 Green Vault
    ✨ Location -:- Beneath the western bastion of Haus Duskmere.
    ✨ Description -:- Sealed relic chamber said to contain the Wyrdwood Crown. Runes glow faintly under moonlight.

    💥 Ravenstone
    ✨ Location -:- Northern battlement of Haus Duskmere.
    ✨ Description -:- A black oracle stone, warm even in snow; those who touch it hear the Weald’s memory.

    💥 Rootwell Springs
    ✨ Location -:- Under Haus Duskmere, feeding into the Weald’s river veins.
    ✨ Description -:- Sacred spring whose waters are used for vows, burials, and visions.

    💥 Sacred Groves and Whispering Trees
    ✨ Location -:- Scattered throughout the central Sylwyth Weald.
    ✨ Description -:- Hollow-barked trees murmuring secrets in moonlight — only the Blackwood blood can understand.

    💥 The Moonwell
    ✨ Location -:- Beneath Blackwood Hall, in the southern forest.
    ✨ Description -:- Reflects not faces, but truths; the hall’s spiritual heart and mirror of Duskmere’s Rootwell.

    💥 The Thornwall
    ✨ Location -:- Encircling Blackwood Hall’s graveyard.
    ✨ Description -:- Living bramble barrier — no outsider passes unharmed; burns those who lie.

    💥 The Wyrding Stone
    ✨ Location -:- Sacred clearing in the Weald’s northernmost glade.
    ✨ Description -:- Massive rune-carved monolith where heirs swear oaths; glows faint silver once per generation.

    💥 The Forest’s Curse
    ✨ Location -:- Throughout the Sylwyth Weald but strongest near Whisper Tree Vale.
    ✨ Description -:- Traitors vanish without a trace — roots drink their remains. Folk say the forest judges faster than any court.

  • Ryoumaru’s domain

    🗺️ “The Moonward East” 🗺️

    ~ shrine mountains, misted forests, and spirit crossings ~


    💥 Silver Hollow Monastery
    ✨ Location -:- Far northeast, high in the Stormspire Mountains.
    ✨ Description -:- Ryou’s old training ground... a mountain temple carved into pale cliffs, silver bells long gone silent. Cold winds carry faint chanting through its hollow courtyards.


    💥 Hisame’s Estate (The Scholar of Whispers)
    ✨ Location -:- In the Lantern Marches, nestled within a deep cedar forest between the coast and foothills.
    ✨ Description -:- A hidden manor surrounded by protective wards; books, spirit lamps, and bridges crossing koi-filled ponds. Secluded but near enough to trade routes to receive messages.


    💥 Eastern March (Guardian’s Patrol Lands)
    ✨ Location -:- South and east of the High Dorsal Ridge, a region of small shrines and frontier villages bordering the spirit realm.
    ✨ Description -:- Rolling hills, stone lantern roads, and abandoned waystations... Ryou’s former patrol route, now half-overgrown and haunted.


    💥 Moonveil Monastery (Ruins)
    ✨ Location -:- In the central Lantern Marches, not far from Hisame’s estate but deeper into misty woodland.
    ✨ Description -:- Crumbled shrines, foxfire glowing among ivy. The Revenant Fox’s old haunt and where Ryou’s apprentice fell.


    💥 Temple of the Heart
    ✨ Location -:- Eastern coast, facing the Sea of Paper Lanterns on a cliffside promontory.
    ✨ Description -:- Half in ruin, half preserved by faith. Pilgrims once came to hear the Heart’s voice through the wind chimes strung over its terraces. Now overrun by quiet spirits.
