| The [[Fiach Wood]] is the sea of trees that covers the land north of [[Lake Coy'in]] and east of the [[Nocthian Caldera]]. Home to [[Orcs|orc]]<nowiki/>ish tribes and a few [[Puun Ihmisia|puun ihmisi]] tribes, it houses many untouched ruins.

| The [[Uulan Confederacy]] is a dwarven-dominated nation to the east of the [[Sea of Grass]], mostly in and buried under the [[Outer Barrier Range]]. To the south across the mountains are wastelands, eventually leading into [[Moon's Fall Vengeance]], a peninsula of broken glass and arcane magic run wild.

| == Nocthian Caldera ==
| |
| The [[Nocthian Caldera]] is a vast remnant of an ancient supervolcano, now a high plain to the west of [[Wyrmhold]]. Before the [[Cataclysm]] it was the home of the worshipers of [[Nocthis]] as well as the early [[dragonborn]] nation; after the Nocthians left the [[Hungering Frost]] moved in and kicked out the dragonborn. Once that was defeated about 40 years ago, it's been the site of expansion from both [[Wyrmhold]] and [[Byssia]] (the inheritors of the Nocthian legacy). But the remnants of the [[Hungering Frost]]'s army still lingers there, as well as buried weapons and ruins of the Third Age.

Quest seeds are the starting point for campaigns. Think of them like "main quests" in various video games. Unlike video games, they do often come with a ticking clock. Success isn't the end of the campaign--merely the end of an arc. And you can choose to abandon the arc at any point and go somewhere else. But remember--Dawn of Hope is a persistent-world setting. The things you do (or don't do) have effects that last and will affect other campaigns in the same setting! While there are other adventurers who may attempt the unchosen quests, their performance and their choices are somewhat random. Choose your quests wisely!
Quest seeds are arranged by area and by starting level. For most parties, especially of new players, I recommend one of the level 1 seeds. Experienced parties can start at the level 3 ones; going higher requires having characters with established reputations as adventurers of note.
Fiach Wood
Uulan Confederacy/Outer Barrier Range
Crisial Kingdom/Sundown Hills
The Sundown Hills is the local name for the range of grassy, rolling hills that range the southern border of the Crisial Kingdom. The only major town is Honel, and the major exports are various stones and ores mined from the hills. The people are generally averse to central authority--the area is dotted with small villages that have limited contact with the outside world
