In addition to the major cities on the continent of Indraig, there are smaller villages. The majority of these are within a day's ride of a major city, though there are a few that are extremely remote. Most of these have sprung up near monasteries, where the villagers can hope to trade once a year and expect to benefit from a certain amount of Order Bloom. Such settlements are encouraged by the Church, providing supplies for monastic communities as well as strengthening the propagation work of the monks if well-governed.
List of Villages:
(OOC Note: The following list is open to additions provided it does not grow too long. The number of villages is limited by the ability of people to live successfully away from an Order Bloom.)
Amon's Crossing: Equidistant between Daedrenth and Larinhad, Amon's Crossing was established at a relatively calm section of the River Careth, and primarily serves as a ferry station to get goods and people across that river.
Foereth: A mining town just outside of Worring, Foereth has a dangerous reputation and the Church is rumored to be investigating it as a possible new Madness Bloom.
Harston: Located east of Larinhad, Harston is primarily a central commercial village for the surrounding agricultural area where grapes and grown. There are a number of winemakers here.
Juniper: Founded near the Neshi monastery of Little Garden, Juniper is strategically important as a resting place, ford and cargo drop. It lies on the overland route between Pellenhad and Oricel as well as being a trade port for ships floating downriver from Elorhad.
New Plenning: New Plenning is an agricultural village located just south of Pellenhad.
Redfield: Redfield village serves ranchers and their hands in the area surrounding Elorhad
Southlake: A fishing village to the east of Pellenhad, Southlake is situated, as its name suggests, on the southern shore of Lake Swan.
Verrig: A mining town, Verrig is located east of Daedrenth and primarily serves the community of miners that dig for ore in the Flamepeak Mountains.
List of Monasteries:
Connovar: An experiment for the church, Connovar combines all nine of the monastic orders and has been newly established to fight the madness bloom in Shannath.
Little Garden: Little Garden is the Neshi Monastery and is the site of a very successful campaign against a once-volatile madness bloom that has been shrunk to almost nothing. It is located on the Empressa River between Pellenhad and Oricel, south of Elorhad.

List of Known Madness Blooms:
Shannath:
Thoughts: Single continent in the known world. Belief that there may be other people in the World is one of contention, much like contemporary feelings about Extraterrestrial Life. Culture is decidedly anti-seafaring as the moons of madness make the oceans extremely volatile. In fact, people probably do not even build cities on the coast.
