══════════════════════════════════════════
Evolion Castle
Erysa is the home of the Evolion Castle. Beastmen rule here until their deaths and a new Royalty is found, or after 3 generations have passed. It is a large castle, well guarded, with many twists and dead-end halls to confuse those who do not know the layout well. The castle is mostly made of stone and brick and the decor is mostly of dead animals, furs and other desert related plants.
Throne Room
The Throne room of Eviolin's castle is the most well lit part of the castle. Even the chambers are pretty dim and dark, but the throne room always has a fire going and candles around the thrones. The royal family spends most of their time here, and all meetings and advisors report here. Much of the Dining is done here, as well. Tapestries line the back walls for color, but for the most part, skins are the primary forms of decor.
Meat Mullet Feast Hall
Esido is home to the Meat Mullet Feast Hall. A place of celebration and feasts after Tournaments are held in Eaanbu. The Hall can hold hundreds of Beastmen and their guests. Food is provided by all who join for feasts. Instead of paying coin for a meal, any who wish to enter must bring a dish of their own. Meats, fruits and vegetables are encouraged in all sorts of different dishes and piled onto tables for everyone to grab as they please.
The Dusty Shelf Library
The Dusty Shelf Library holds quests and other useful information for travelers wishing to know more about Evolion. Somewhere in the Library, it is said that the grave of the Gold Knight is logged. Could this library hold the truth about the legendary Knight and his weapon? Speak to a Librarian to find out more information.
The Voiceless Ale Tavern
Ekroln is home to The Voiceless Ale Tavern, a somewhat secluded tavern in the furthest Eastern corner of the rather populated City. Most patrons come for drink and the many fights held when Beastmen get angry. The tavern itself is made of wood and stone, though several fires have left some places charred and ashen. Haunted halls are said to be plentiful in this building, and disembodied voices are heard through its halls and rooms. Stories tell of why these spirits are restless here, but nothing has been confirmed.
Tournament of Knights
The Tournament of Knights is located here in Eaanbu. This is where official matches are held when choosing the next King. During the years that a King is in place, the Tournaments here are held as sparring matches to train warriors for the day they will get the chance to compete. There is no killing allowed in this arena during off-years, and Eaanbu brings in a lot of tourists when competitions are held. During off seasons and training, the grounds are open to tourists by way of festivals and foods held nearby. Any can sign up for training in the Tournament of Knights, or compete in spars for coin or items.
Catacomb Caves
Erytin is a very secluded city nearest the ocean. It is home to the Catacomb Caves, a sacred graveyard for the Fallen Beastmen and Kings. It is said that the Gold Knight's resting place is located somewhere within, although travelers caught traversing disrespectfully are slaughtered upon sight. Though stories conflict whether the Gold Knight's weapon is buried here or in the Plateau, but if one finds the knight's gravestone, there are answers to be had about what happened long ago. The caves are well guarded and watched, though beastmen do not bother visitors who are being kind to their dead.
Crooked Trunk Forest
Located North of Esido, The Crooked Trunk Forest is home to all sorts of large beasts that are perfect for hunting. It is said that the forest holds dark secrets, too, and an enemy so great that Beastmen have tried seeking it to prove themselves worthy of royalty. No one has actually seen this beast, or reports of it have not been solidified as truth, but everyone in Evolion believe it to be real. It is said that it comes out to those hunting the most game, killing at least a handful of each species of the Forest, and is a brutal opponent.
Eydimork Villt
South of Eaovin is the Eydimork Villt. A desert so hot and dry that very little survives there. Animals that make their home are hunted by Beastmen for food and the desert is not often crossed. Somewhere within its dry and barren lands, there is said to be a scorpion queen that waits for victims to get close. She has been seen stealing into villages and stealing children away, as well as vassals and the elderly. Keep your wits about you if you head into this desert. Sandstorms are common and you can easily get lost in the hot and dry land.
Eydimork Villt Desert Plateau
The Eydimork Villt Plateau resides at the halfway point between Eaovin and where the Scorpion Queen is said to live. There is a giant chasm that separates the desert from the land of the scorpions. None have been down into its depths, though the Gold Knight's weapon is said to be buried here somewhere.
