New Venusi

A verdant peninsula located at the southern end of the Imperial Sea.

Anthi Laguna

Founded around 312 AI by Chairman Dax, it is naturally fortified by hills and cliffs that provide a striking backdrop to this bustling town. Each neighborhood has its own name, helping visitors locate themselves. The city doubled in size under the guidance of Chairman Gunnar during the 470's AI.

Clayroot

Located just outside Anthi Laguna proper, this village is home to many farms and the docks that connect Anthi Laguna to the rest of the world.

Dax Square

Home to the GRHH Co. headquarters, the County Vote Fountain, and the tree under which Dax's body was buried. A tunnel leads out of town to Clayroot.

Grassy Corner

Home to livestock and small farms, this area produces a great volume of animal products and pumpkins for consumption by locals.

Bridgetown

Built by Chairman Gunnar during Anthi Laguna's expansion, this area is home to Anthi Laguna's oldest tavern. The Laguna bridge is the easiest way to cross the lagoon without a boat, and receives major traffic every day. Some say they've seen strange figures vanishing into the south abutment of the bridge at night, but most think it's just an urban legend.

Spring Street

This bustling street is actually just a small part of Anthi Laguna's main thoroughfare, but it is arguably as lively as the rest. Located north of Laguna Bridge and south of the nether portal, it is home to a cafe, park, brewery, inn, and one of the few gay taverns in the Empire.

Uptree

Founded by Chairman Nicholas around 354 AI, this small village in a swampy archipelago produces surprising amounts of fish, clay, and slime.

Wadidiz

Incorporated by Chairman Ulrik as part of a new growth initiative around 537 AI, this fishing village was located at the extreme eastern end of the GRHH.

Wadidu

Another fishing village located along the Anthi Laguna River incorporated around 537 AI.

Island Territories

Though they make up less than half land area of the GRHH, these islands are home to most of its population and a significant amount of its industry.

Alos Island

Founded by Alexander Stark around 374 AI, this village has grown to be one of the larger settlements in the GRHH. The natural beauty of the island and idyllic community attracts many visitors.

Petra Nova

Originally founded as a quarry for special kinds of stone, this onetime backwater is now the largest city and port in the GRHH. Its dense and organic construction leads some to get lost in its narrow streets. It is also home to Gunnar Plaza, which hosts a bustling marketplace.

Greytower

Founded as a quarry and mining operation by Chairman Dax, this village near the Kaine-GRHH border is well fortified. Due to its small size, it has expanded vertically, making it one of the most densely populated areas in the Empire.

Venusi

Also known as the “land of water,” this peninsula east of Sothis and Arcadia is peppered with many lakes and inlets.

Tidewater

The first permanent settlement created by the Gathered and of the GRHH, this small town specialized in fishing and agriculture, possessing a large sheep farm. Its Lighthouse Authority was the site of a near-fatal bombing during the Unraveling. Other bombs were found and diffused around the town.

Quarryton

A small sandstone quarry located south of Tidewater. It was the site of the First Chairman's famous Quarryton Speech where he called the Gathered back from exhile after the events of the Unraveling.
