Most of the adventuring that takes place on Elephant Mud occurs within the bounds of the Western Realms; a large temperate land mass in the northern hemispehere of the planet. Although there are many islands off of the coast, and although several other planes of existance are known to exist, to most players the 'known world' centres around the town of Drakenwood, which is situated in a cove on the south shore of the Realms. It is from here that the players set forth daily to bring justice to the foul creatures that stalk the nearby hills and forests, and to here that they come again to rest from their trials.
Drakenwood is by no means the old population centre in the Realms. Nearby, nestling in the Withered Peak mountains lies Mirrortown, and equally close can be found the village of Aldersford. Were you to travel north you would soon find yourself within the bounds of the Duchies of Miathorn and Alforpia. Travel east and if you are unlucky you may stumbled upon the cursed remains of Sparsis. Even further away, many weeks surely, and the dedicated horseman could make the bounderies of the warring Kingdoms of Veluna and Aerdy. though people travel there but rarely, and as yet, Drakenwood has managed to stay out of their conflict.
