From D&D Wiki
Creator's Chalice[edit]
The Creators Chalice is a massive ocean surrounded by mountains such that it is several miles above sea level. It surrounded by many monasteries that worship the Creator/Destroyer over-deities. Thus is surrounded by many great sculptures built for the simple sake of creation, while a few have been destroyed as the Creator is dominant at this time.
Destroyer's Drain[edit]
The Destroyer's drain is a bottomless trench on the bottom of the Creators Chalice. Any thing which falls into it is forever lost. Merefolk monks carefully maintain a partial plug of it, as well as many current controlling vanes which prevent a whirlpool from forming. They also are careful to keep the knowledge of its exact location secret from all outsiders. Legend has it that the partial plug keeps the creator dominant. Completing the plug would create a great imbalance while destroying it would cause much destruction in all its forms.
Kliandri Mountains[edit]
A few hundred years ago, deep in the Kliandri Mountains, a meteorite fell to the earth. It's otherworldly taint has been slightly altering the animals and landscape and now the crater, surrounding valley, and all the animals and plants in it's vicinity are almost completely alien in appearance. Those who have attempted to explore it have either never returned or gone incurably mad, fearfully uttering the same phrase over and over in their sleep. "Ynnoch watches... Ynnoch waits..."
Rainshadow Desert[edit]
The Rainshadow Desert (Dakars to the Gnolls) is, despite it's dryness, home to thousands of creatures. The most feared is a dragon by the name of Iorth. It and its kind burrows through the ground like a fish would swim through water, punching up through the ground when it sences movement. This is partly the reason why the gnolls are nomadic.
Gnolls and goblins are locked in a bloody war for dominion over the northern part of the Rainshadow Desert, called the Dakar Rumble, and mercenaries from all around the world come to Rainshadow Desert to take part in the Rumble to hone their skills.
The Dakar Rumble gets its name from the frequent tremors in the area. Due to the torus shape the world retains and the stabilized plate tectonics, earthquakes are unheard of anywhere else in the world; however the Dakar Rumble is a cavernous region, and a giant field of natural gas deposits lays under the area. it is unknown why, but these pockets sometimes explode violently and without warning, causing the stone desert above to shake.
The reason for the gas pockets underneath Dakar Rumble exploding is because of the competition between two Elder Dragons, Violtelist the Third Eye (a Purple Dragon) and Browtaraghat Sandscales (a Brown Dragon). Violtelist's territory extends to much of the northern regions, and Retaraghat possesses much of the land south of the Dakar Rumble, and the area is where the two Dragon's territories converge. The surface war between gnolls and goblins is a facet of the power struggle between these two entities, and they also employ many subterranean forces, some of which cause explosions in the natural gas pockets underneath the desert.
