Smyrsis Province

3) Smyrsis Province lies northwest of Tre'Volos.

Taell Qua, a large Muslim city is here.

The "Missing Marshes," as they are commonly called, are called that because of the large number of people that have gone missing there. No one knows anyone who has survived a trip that includes a journey to the Missing Marshes.

Slaekt Grotto is thought to be the home of a Dragon.

The Obsidian Citadel, the home of the Pasha of Smyrsis is here, as is the "Valley of Kings and Queens," where many rulers are entombed. Other than a few buildings in the capital, the Obsidian Citadel is probably one of the most beautiful. Constructed of solid obsidian blocks and pieces, if the suns strike it just right, it almost glitters.

“The Valley of the Dead” is the home for many of the tombs and mausoleums for rulers of several nearby villages and towns. A good watch is kept up by the current Pasha of Smyrsis to discourage tomb raiders.

The “Starcrag Mountain Mines” are a large mining operation of Durin that produces metal ore and smelts metal. This is one of the rare places on the planet that has large deposits of metal ore.

Daeil is a long forgotten city that lies deep in a misty unexplored area. The constant fog and mist makes it very hard to see far, and thus makes it easier for those unwary souls to be attacked. No one has returned to tell about what kinds of creatures are present.

Pernicius Lake is almost completely surrounded with monster infested country, but it is said that the Fountain of Youth is here.

Shimmertree is the home of one of the largest Laendoli cities. The trees in this are literally shimmer with ornamentation that the Laendoli have placed there. Guards are almost invisible within this forest. Very few Humans are ever allowed to visit the Laendoli. Many Laendoli occasionally get wanderlust and begin to explore the world. These Laendoli are also the ones that send ambassadors to Sedmon occasionally.

Glint Valley is the home of the largest Sylvain city. Deep in the valley, is an absolutely huge grove of ancient trees. It is within those trees, high up in the branches, that the Sylvain make their ancestral home. Very few Humans are ever allowed to visit the Sylvain. Many Sylvain occasionally get wanderlust and begin to explore the world. These Sylvain are also the ones that send ambassadors to Sedmon occasionally.

Eagol is the home of many Eldish ruins. Many explorers come to this site to dig for Eldish relics. However, only about half of those have ever returned.

Bone Valley is an unusual valley of death. (Note: Bone Valley is really a meteor crater.) Visitors will see the large impact crater, and note quickly that the very high walls it created keep the Dinosaurs inside the valley. It is rumored that this valley is also the home of the Elephant graveyard.
