The inhabitants of Avington are regarded as being beautiful by most other realms. Even the Lowlanders find themselves envious of the delicate appearance. Avington is a heavily forested region, deep and secret; few who are not of Avington have ever been able to see their actual city. It is hidden deep within the heart of the trees. Each Avington dweller possesses one secret; they will not divulge it unless they feel they have to, but they may tell their mates or close friends. If the secret is pulled from an Avington unwillingly, the tree on their back will become blackened and dead.

| Corvistowne
Those who hail from Corvistowne are an odd bunch. They tend to be erratic in behavior and excessively creative. Most members consider themselves to be inventors of some sort, and they are not above experimenting on other members...or on themselves. Corvistowne members are usually quite intelligent, though they may lack common sense in the way they view the world. The town itself is poorer than most, with many buildings appearing dilapidated and poorly cared for. If one can worm their way into the confidence of a member, they may be able to bear witness to the underground labs of Corvistowne. Many are small and cramped; those with power in Corvistowne have setups that are rumored to make the Queen of Hearts slightly nervous.

| Forest of Kahmden
The Forest of Kahmden is a highly reputable place. No one breaks the rules, no one makes the rules. The members live in what might be described as a "quaint little village", most living in burrows and trees that are elaborately decorated and snootily furnished. Members of the Forest of Kahmden are usually quick to rise in Court due to their lack of desire to question the way things are. Many are apathetic towards life in some way, shape or form; those who don't take this view are socially ostracized fairly quickly.

| Golfam Marsh
Golfam Marsh is unlike it's counterpart, the Josiggy Marsh, in the way that most tend to get lost or lose their lives inside. It is a dangerous place and the dwellers don't usually go out of their way to make it safer for anyone besides themselves. Uniformly dark and damp, any dry land is a treasured commodity in the Marsh. Trees grow closely together and block the sun in many places. The Golfam Marsh has driven a few questers mad and has been rumored to contain dark, terrible secrets. Some fear this land even more than the Hisstor Wastes.

| Highlands
Many consider the Highlands to be the most beautiful lands in the world to date. Lush, rolling meadows, rich fields, thin stretches of forest, and quaint brooks make the Highlands one of the most respected and idolized realms in which to work and trade. The residents of the Highlands tend to hold themselves in equally high regard and they are often respected, no matter the rank, if that is where they hail from. It is rumored that those from the Highlands are destined for greatness, and they are often groomed from birth to think so. The Highlands actually border the Courts and even overlap a bit into the Court of Hearts.

| Hisstor Wastes
Those who subsist off of the Hisstor Wastes are feared throughout many realms. Their lithe, gaunt forms and odd mannerisms give many the chills, as do the lands they live in. The Wastes are aptly named for long stretches of barren desert strewn with rocky plateaus and thick, choking dust. The climate is usually cool. Though one might think from a distance that the shimmering air indicated heat waves, it is actually a disturbance in the magnetic field surrounding the Wastes. Most who hail from Hisstor have slight quirks or mental issues, making it difficult for others to trust them right away. The land they come from is rumored to be as empty and devoid of life as the residents, though the characterization of the residents is mostly fabrication.

| Josiggy Marsh
Josiggy Marsh is a surprisingly rich land. Its means of trade are quite lovely and job opportunities seem never to end. A beautiful place, it dips down in the valley of the Sorgaire Range, and the residents generally live in harmony with one another. The Josiggy Marsh is full of waterlogged meadows and fertile fields. It is a popular vacation spot and the residents are only too glad to attract these "tourists". It rains heavily once every three months for about five days, so many residents own small boats or have exceedingly durable houses.

| Lowlands
The Lowlands are the most disreputable of the realms. Dark and dreary, the buildings are unkempt and falling apart in many places. There are very few jobs available and many residents are forced to go out and labor for others in order to secure their meals, much less homes and possessions. The members themselves even seem shabby or in disrepair, some having quite gruesome appearances and mannerisms. Lowlanders are rarely taken in to work in the Courts; if they are then they are kept out of sight, hidden in the kitchens or out in the stables. The Lowlands are on the other side of the Range from Josiggy Marsh and the residents hate each other with a fiery passion, often finding excuses to cross the range and attack each other. The Range is neutral in this feud.

| Morganberry
Those who live in Morganberry are an unsatisfied bunch. The land is fruitful but not as much as those who surround them, namely Josiggy Marsh and the Highlands. The residents of Morganberry are commonly seeking ways to escape its borders into the Courts or Highlands. They are often obsessed with boosting their rank and image, many of them desiring to become a face card and gain some power. Those who have gained power from Morganberry tend to get a bit drunk with it, however, and people are cautious around them due to their constant need and greed.

| Selkie Lakes
The Selkie Lakes are well known for supplying most of the clean water to the rest of the realms. Lush and somewhat damp, the residents may be a bit dim but their trading skills aren't. The members of the Selkie Lakes are rumored to be a slow, cheery bunch who laze about constantly, though many would prove them wrong. While the ability to be astoundingly lazy is, for the most part, true, it is only due to the abundance of trade materials in and around the land. Fish, aquatic plants, and clear water itself are chief exports. They are easy for the residents to get and pawn off to other realms for insane prices. The beauty of the residents is sometimes dulled by their rough manner and stocky, muscled bodies, but the feathery fur still inspires a sense of grace and they are good at their jobs.

| Sorgaire Range
Residents of the Sorgaire Range have little to fear from invading forces or a lack of resources. Though the mountain range is mostly rocky and barren, they are often supplied with cheap food and other supplies from the Josiggy Marsh to ensure that they don't assist those in the Lowlands. Lithe and camouflaged, the members of the Range have an easy enough time blending into their surroundings and avoiding conflicts that may occur around them. Elsewhere, their coats are often praised for their simple beauty and are admired by those about them. Intelligent and aspiring to greatness, many Range dwellers will leave to seek placement in the Courts. They are prized for their quick wit and dry sense of humor toward daily life. The members of the Range often carry with them a piece of stone from their home. Losing it could cause the owner much grief.

| Torquehelm
Torquehelm is a rather dark place. Due to it's placement near the Tulgey Wood, there isn't much sunlight or moonlight. An odd aura surrounds the place, and many feel a sense of depression upon entering. The members of Torquehelm are known for their odd habit of binding. They are said to do so because they hope it will lift the curse upon their land. Each resident of the realm is bound in some way, shape, or form, the most popular being chains or blindfolds. They tend to be intelligent and quick, but difficult to deal with because of the downtrodden mood, though they are still widely accepted in Courts and are sometimes made confidants of those in power. The land of Torquehelm does not produce much in the way of items to trade, though there are rich deposits of precious metals and iron.

| Tulgey Wood
Until quite recently, it was not known that creatures of Suit could originate from the Tulgey Wood. It is a forbidding place and is rumored to be the formal location of the Jack's Court. Members of the realm are strange, very quiet and very smart. They enjoy power and have odd senses of humor...often at the expense of others. Residents of Tulgey Wood give off a faint aura that tends to make others about them uncomfortable. The same aura emanates from the Wood itself, making it a widely uncharted place as non-residents are afraid to enter. Not much is known about the land itself as the members often refuse to discuss it. There aren't many creatures of Tulgey Wood about, but when they do emerge they are snapped up by the Courts. For all their oddness, they have an unusual knack for magic.

| Villa en Miir
The Villa en Miir is a cliff-side realm with beautiful residents and scenery. They reside on the rocky crags that spring up above Corvistowne, though they detest the unsavory group that lives below them. The Villa is literally carved into the rock face and those visiting usually request a guide to help ensure they don't tumble off the face of the realm. Trees grow over the side of the crags and give the impression that the Villa en Miir is just a forest growing out of a mountainside. They are fond of jewelry and have a few mines of their own, chiefly diamond, emerald, ruby, and opal. These are constantly exported to the Courts. The residents of the Villa are quite lovely and will often adorn themselves with one stone of choice, usually given to them by their mother. Those of the Villa tend to be musical, and they dearly love plays and concerts.

| Yarrow Gardens
Those who hail from the Yarrow Gardens are very commonly female. It is difficult to locate a male from that realm and it leads to rumors and jokes from other lands. The women (and men) of the Gardens look delicate and beautiful, but underneath they are undeniably strong-willed and powerful. Their land is covered in decorative gardens and small patches of forest. Under closer inspection, one would find that most of the plants are highly poisonous and resilient. The Yarrow Gardens are located over a rupture in the world's surface that they are careful to cover up. The gases that sometimes escape would kill most normal plant life and livestock. Those who visit are often surprised to find that they "come down with something" upon arrival and feel ill for the remainder of their journey.
