Featherdown
Featherdown, a picturesque Lightfoot Halfling farming village in Western Newhon, is renowned for its extraordinary livestock – the Emerald Monarch Geese. These geese are not only a sight to behold with their shimmering emerald feathers but are also a symbol of affluence. The rarity and beauty of their feathers and eggs have made them a sought-after commodity among the wealthy, turning these attributes into a status symbol.
Located to the north of the River Tilth, before it meanders southward towards the Horborixen Empire, Featherdown thrives primarily on the trade of these unique geese. The Emerald Monarch's feathers serve as the economic backbone of the village, with their iridescent quality fetching high prices in markets far and wide. In a strategic move to maintain exclusivity and control over this precious resource, the villagers of Featherdown sell only infertile eggs, ensuring that the breeding of these magnificent birds remains their sole purview.
Security around the flocks is tight, a testament to the value placed on these geese. The vigilant villagers go to great lengths to protect and nurture their prized livestock, understanding that the prosperity of Featherdown is intricately linked to the wellbeing and safeguarding of the Emerald Monarch Geese. This diligent guardianship has not only preserved the village's economic stability but has also enhanced its reputation as the exclusive source of these exquisite creatures.

Lankhmar Region
Sundered from us by gulfs of time and stranger dimensions dreams the ancient world of Nehwon with its towers and skulls and jewels, its swords and sorceries. Nehwon's known realms crowd about the Inner Sea: northward the green-forested fierce Land of the Eight Cities, eastward the steppe-dwelling Mingol horsemen and the desert where caravans creep from the rich Eastern Lands and the River Tilth. But southward, linked to the desert only by the Sinking Land and further warded by the Great Dike and the Mountains of Hunger, are the rich grain fields and walled cities of Lankhmar, eldest and chiefest of Nehwon's lands. Dominating the Land of Lankhmar and crouching at the silty mouth of the River Hlal in a secure corner between the grain fields, the Great Salt Marsh, and the Inner Sea is the massive-walled and mazy-alleyed metropolis of Lankhmar, thick with thieves and shaven priests, lean-framed magicians and fat-bellied merchants—Lankhmar the Imperishable, the City of the Black Toga.

(Note: For real world size reference, the Island of Lankhmaria is roughly the size of South Korea)
