3.The World
Each race has its own island in which there are 5 main cities/villages where you get the quests from. It may seem not dangerous on these islands from the first look, but don't fall for that - in deep caverns and cold dungeons lie horrible things that you can only slay with the help of your fellows! After you end your adventures on your homeland you'll be send to Irlesnort where you will face new obstacles and continue your path to becoming you factions hero. However you should avoid sailling to Norlant swamps untill you feel strong enough as it's the most dangerous place in Arinar, full of creatures you only read about in fairy tales.
