The Beauty is a vast area of Plainland to the North of the deserts and the ogres, and directly West from the forest of the Children of Aliadore.
In this great space there are many settlements of humans under the rule of King Shrenk and also the Capital City of the King. To the East, bordering the forest there are also a number of Troglodytes.
In the human controlled areas of the plainland, large towns are scattered across the landscape and between them many supporting networks of farms prosper. The lands of The Beauty are rich and grains, vegetables and fruits thrive in the fertile soils. Large winding trade roads link up the towns and dirt tracks lead off to the various farms. Farms are mostly owned by somewhat wealthy commoners with a resident population of serfs to do the hard work.
Nearby to some of the towns there are large manors owned by the Barons that support King Shrenk. These large manors have acres of land with them and a population of serfs.
In the very South of The Beauty, where the grasslands begin to melt away to deserts, there are roaming herds of unicorns. These galloping beauties live here on the grassy flatlands to avoid capture. There is no way of approaching them without being spotted in this area of land. Also due to the vastness of these plains, the herds have plenty of grazing land to roam in.
In the very South West, where the Splitting Peaks join with The Beauty, Pegasi can sometimes be seen. These sightings are rare however as there is little grass. The pegasi that live upon the Splitting Peaks prefer to forage Around the Southern end of The Face of the Gods.
The Northernmost town in The Beauty is "False Fortune", a gambler's haven and home to the jousting ring, it is also home to a small colloseum where various combatants fight for cash prizes - Sometimes to the death. The local inns are The Hall of Kings, a large inn capable of housing over a hundred guests at any one time with its immense size and every room can hold four people. People often split the cost when the other inn is full and share a room.
The other inn is The Dry Cup, it is a tavern that has rooms to house no more than fifteen people. Five single rooms, five double rooms.
South of False Fortune is the capitol city Hope, home to King Shrenk and the Jewel of the Dark Lord that allows him to teleport from his citadel to visit. This town has a large and respectable inn known as The Scroll and Staff, it can house up to fifty and it doubles as a library.
There is also only one diner, The Shattered Sword, and it is home to many delectible delights. The town has a large marketplace where many rich tradesmen sell their goods.
The southernmost town is Red Vine village, a village that grew rich thanks to the kind nature of an earlier King and the surrounding vineyards. This town is an immensely popular site for wine lovers and the nature of the town means crime is at an incredible low.
The largest inn is the Dogs' Flask, it sells wine and provides rooms for around thirty people at once. A smaller, more expensive inn is the Immortal Cleric Inn, they also sell wine but their rooms are far more luxurious, all have double beds and there are twelve rooms in total.
