An icy jewel in a frozen and unforgiving wasteland, the Citadel is the single thriving civilization within Halo. The city walls are steep and the people are hard and untrusting. One message pervades this society above all else: Stay warm. Stay alive.

A haunting wasteland of snow and ice. Once hospitable, the Tundra is now a world of death preserved on ice. What will kill you first? The elements? Snow-blindness? Or the monsters that roam the endless cold?

Dozens of hidden pathways seemingly lead to this safe haven, though only those with keen eyes and knowledge of the area will be able to follow them. The thriving heartland of the Fae, much of the ground area is used for communal purposes. A marketplace shields one edge of the village, and the centre boasts a beautiful square which is open to the skies above. The trees are filled with homes of the Fae, suspended as if part of the forest itself. In the evening, their light suffuses the branches with a warm glow.

A dense and eclectic maze of trees, the clue is in the name for the Wildwood. It is easy to get lost or turned around, and travellers will often find themselves right back where they started. Brimming with life and illuminated by Will-o-Wisps, this place truly is a wonder to behold.

The ruins immediately around the Spire have been tamed by the new arrivals, creating a refuge in the chaos. Buildings have been renovated, repairs have been made to the streets and there are even a few rudimentary attempts to decorate.

Old buildings on the verge of collapse, winding, empty streets, skeletal structures and hidden lanes and alleyways. Ruins dominate the city and make up the majority of its landscape. Exploration is dangerous…but it might be rewarding, too.

While subtle, there is a definite border between the Hollowed Ground and the land beyond. Once a magical barrier separated the Grounds from the rest of Caido, but it has since been removed. Now there is only a barren scar in the earth that indicates where it once was.

Lined with tiki torches that glow white and cool during the day and yellow and warm at night, the Ahi Coast is always alight with fire and song. White-sand beaches stretch towards the bordering jungle or disappear into the crystal-clear waters of the ocean.

The largest city in Torchline is the perfect kind of paradise. Warm, welcoming and ever-so-dangerous, the natives will hold the door open for you whilst picking your pockets. Home to some of the best fishing fare in Caido and promising riches and wishes to those who like to gamble, Haulani never wants you to leave.

Pale turquoise in its shallows to a deep, swallowing blue deeper out at sea, the Arclight Ocean is so named for the bands of concentric light that seem to scatter across the water when the sun sets. No one knows what causes this phenomenon, but myths abound - from merfolk to old and ancient technology.

The capital city of all of Caido is perhaps not quite so grand as one might imagine. Magical individuals are not allowed within the grounds, and so everything within has been created by hand or with godly intervention. Stone statues line nearly every archway and road, fashioned out of sentient marble that can detect magic and immediately turns all Abandoned to stone. Situated on high, rocky bluffs, the capital is surrounded by the sea on three sides, leaving only one way in - by foot. Only Attuned, Accepted and demigods of the Old Gods are welcome here.

A series of cliffs accessed by walking paths that extend over air geysers. If timed right, you can jump off and be pushed back up to the cliffside by the force of warm air rushing upwards. To time incorrectly however will lead to certain death.

The gates of StormBreak are sharp, high, and flanked by two grand statues of dragons. The are made from the same sentient marble as those within the city; they can detect magic and will immediately turn all Abandoned to stone. The walls are of the same height as the gates, dotted with guard towers and home to the city’s militia - the StormBreak Dragoons.

A vast span of lava long gone solid, the Crust makes up the top layer of the Climb. Navigating the area is a tricky business, given how often it splits to reveal bright and deadly magma beneath. Be wary of storms of ash and scavenger animals looking for a quick meal.

In a hellish parody of Rae's Fingers from the more more tropical climes of Torchline, this cave system is lit by bubbling magma that threatens around every corner. Hot, claustrophobic and exquisitely dangerous, only the desperate and foolish venture inside.

Any number of strange and wondrous creatures can deliver letters and other pieces of corresponds within Caido. Letters across boards can be sent via raven, within boards by hand, messenger, or other mundane magical means!
