Hol
Hol is home to Ulakrek Vallery, an orcish duke who is trying his best to protect his city and province from the paladins. The population is around 3000 with a variety of races. Most people feel welcome here, however the duke has a distaste for tieflings who he believes are inherently troublesome. He is more fond of orcs and half-orcs being an orc himself. Hol does not have much history other than slowly growing over the last century from a small farming town to an town that mostly survives on imports.

The wall surrounding the Hol Province was built at the beginning of Ulakrek's reign, being 15 years old now. It was built to the disappointment of most tourists and disapproval of the Hol Province residents. Most folk see the wall as a ridiculous way of keeping out Paladins, however it is well regulated and now an integral part of the province. Not many people complain anymore as it keeps out most of the people looking for trouble. However, many residents wouldn't mind if it disappeared.

Hol's Harbor
To the east of Hol near the beaches is a small harbor village, the population is around 50 and there are no large shops here. There are rarely ships that dock, it's almost always the local residents in fishing boats or a main taxi that can take you to the archipelago in the east.

Krakaset
Krakaset is ruled by Thacondrish Nesguard, a racist leader who's been in power for a decade now. The village is in economic turmoil, being separated into two regions known as The Slums and The Dragon's Den. The slums are riddled with crime, drunk beggars, petty thieves, burglars etc. It wasn't always like this, the previous ruler took poor care of the town, leaving The Slums to degrade over time, and Thacondrish has only made it worse.

The Dragon's Den is home to around 20 Dragonborn, they live wealthy lifestyles away from The Slums, in well guarded streets. They attend meetings in the town hall once a week to discuss business and update themselves on the ongoing events in the town. It is rumored that Thacondrish is so racist he is willing to let people in The Slums slowly die off so he can rebuild the town back the way it was, but only populated by dragonborn.

Druid's Tree
A tourist attraction and a relaxing getaway. Folk of all different races come here to enjoy a long weekend or even a month long holiday away from the stresses of life. Hot springs, buffets, and hand-on-foot waiting make this ideal for forgetting worries and letting your mind run free.

Hol Prison
Here the scum of Rydoneus come to rot in a jail cell. Heavily guarded and well looked after by Sayzha this prison houses some of the worst criminals in the Hol Province. It is just over 200 years old and has been run by Sayzha for around 75 years, she has done a lot of work restoring it and getting it back up on it's feet. The old owner and guard keeper Yuran did not care about the upkeep, and many prisoners died in their cells or were able to break free due to the lack of security.

There is an event that has been nicknamed The Grand Escort in which some guards took bribes from the prisoners and every last one was able to escape. This happened just before Yuran resigned and Sayzha took on the job.

Flussdorf
A small village just north of the prison, most of the guards who work the prison live here. It's a niche village with expensive taste, many of the shops are made for wealthier people. There is a tavern and an inn here, most of the folk don't have a busy nightlife but are always happy to have passers through.

East Wykle
East Wykle is located far north east near the Wykle Peninsula (North of the town). High population of gnomes. Local temple for the goddess of agriculture, Chauntea. Surrounding the town are vineyards named Bovine Estate. You can get to East Wykle by either going directly through the forest, which takes 4 hours to navigate to the town, or head along the north road, a 2 day journey with one inn and no taverns along the way. Most folk take the Ouinion Highway (the 2 day journey) as the forest is deemed dangerous, not safe for travel.

Home to East Wykle is a notable restaurant, Crystalriver Wonder. A unique place to eat with a fancy gimmick, which draws in a lot of tourism.

Hoglin Bog
A swamp that is rumoured to have three hags protected by magic, using the entire bog as their home. There are strange creatures that dwell here, some say the magic from the hags influences adventurers travelling here. Disorientation is a real struggle here, with the stench of the swamp, and the fear of feeling tracked, not many people stay to explore.
