High upon the rocks that reflect a silver light, the Versai keep watch of those who enter the Highlands. There they will present themselves to any visitors, who may request something from the Versai. Should their request be declined, they will be sent on their way, but if the Versai who stands upon the rock accepts, then more information should be taken, and the equines will meet at the bottom of the large plateau.

Nestled upon the slopes of a mountain within the Highlands, Amaravati is home to more lush vegetation than one would expect for its higher elevation. It is a tiring land to travel to – any visitor must ascend and descend many slopes, save for herd members who know the paths – but Amaravati rewards all those who make the journey with its many meadows rich with greenery and shade. Water flows freely down the slopes, carving the land even as the land grows around and shapes the water. There are trees dotted around the land’s borders, providing shade to the horses standing watch there, but Amaravati’s center is dominated by meadows filled with what is considered by the land’s residents as the purest grasses in the realm. Nothing quite seems to match the pure, soulful beauty of Amaravati’s meadows. It would be easy to conceal oneself here were it not for the winds. There is almost always a steady breeze blowing through the land, ensuring that all within can detect the scent of strangers within minutes. The herd tends to gather in the center of the land, marked by a pool of water fed from the slopes. There are no trees in the center; it is open to the Light of both the sun and the moon. All of Amaravati is treasured by its inhabitants, who often spend their time exploring and learning more about the land they have come to love.

A land of beauty and wonder, Lyrarcor is also one of secrets and deception. Though this be one of the most holy of lands, seeing as it is a home of a Versai Sister, there is also a lingering darkness that hovers between the peace and serenity of this land. The borders are protected by a thick line of trees, evergreens, and though the majority of them remain the normal scented emerald all year round, there are a few scattered amongst them that are charred and skeletal, with not a single spot of green on them. Most animals tend to avoid these few trees, though none can give a proper reasoning for it, even to themselves. Leading away from the trees are multiply paths, maze-like and tricky to maneuver through the thick, tall jade grasses that jut out from soil rich in nutrients. For someone who does not know their way around, it can be chaotic and confusing, though at the same time mesmerizing; a lot of the lost and weary souls that come here uninvited get so lost that they are never found again. Some say they eventually find their way out, since there is no evidence of them perishing because no bones litter the grounds here, while others claim that they took an unintended swim in the cool and crisp waters of the spring fed lake that occupies the western side of Lyrarcor. What makes this lake so intimidating is, though the waters are crystal clear, it is impossible to see the bottom and therefor impossible to judge how deep the water truly is. Around the edges, the water is no deeper than chest height, a bit higher on smaller horses and dangerous for foals. However, if you dare to venture more towards the center, you may suddenly find yourself dropping far below the surface of the lake.

Let not its name deceive you. Here lays a vast open canyon, far from anywhere else. It lays in the center of a cold tundra, but, however, the canyon is barely effected by the weather that passes. Not many of the aimless come to the canyon, for its size and climate are not for the weak or lazy sort. The canyon's rock is a deep bronze and ruby colored sort, and it is smooth and weathered. The foliage that lay within resides down by the river which runs down the center of the canyon, and wide, yet shallow piece of water. It contains a sort of valley that contains lush grass and trees, a great paradise to all. The sister that lives within the canyon is the only soul that knows the path down to the river however, but she can usually be found strolling or by the entrance of the canyon walls. In here, there are many crevices and nooks where creatures come at storms or at the night to provide shelter. The temperature is always at it's neutral, never too hot, and never too cold. The only other creature that live here are some smaller creatures; birds and such. The seasons always come lightly, for winter gives a slight snowfall, and summer receives a quaint sunshine. The springs and autumns are where the canyon's beauty shines the best. The peace and quiet of this place attract many looking for a home, and the sister welcomes any who pass.
