-* [[Boilerworks]]
+* [[Boilerworks]] Perhaps more interested in mechanical creations than pursuit of the magical, Boilerworks shows how one can use one to enhance the other. Clockwork [[automaton]]s work alongside magical [[construct]]s, and exceedingly intricate mechanisms seem to be favored by all.

-* [[Raszhan]]
+* [[Raszhan]], a sprawling desert. Huge cities have grown up around the water sources, and trading in precious metals is the name of the game.
-* [[The Spires]]
+* [[The Spires]], the "center" of the plane, home to numerous arcane universities, historical buildings, not to mention the [[Library]] - an organic building that has grown to form wings in all the major schools and tentacles that touch even bookcases in ordinary houses. It is said its roots exit on the other side. The name "the spires" comes from the wizard towers that regularly dot the landscape, and the heights to which these are built in order to outdo the other arcanists.
-* [[Suno-Haiinah]]
+* [[Suno-Haiinah]], with its multiple layers of ruins. When a building is condemned, it is simply lowered into the ground, leaving a history of the past. New building are placed on top, and life continues. Entering the past is strictly forbidden, but such treasures hide in the depths.
