Geography
Geography is the study of the physical features of the Earth, which includes cities, forests, mountains, oceans and rivers. The term ""Geography"" is derived from the Greek words ""Geo"" meaning ""earth"" and ""Graphia"" meaning ""to write or describe"", emphasizing the descriptive nature of this field of study. Below you can find all kinds of interesting places on our dear planet Earth to visit. To make it easier to find them, the places are categorized per district.
Amt Aldáer
Aegheria is a district located in the North-West of the region and consists of two major cities, namely Lutheria and Alden. Because of this, the district is of high importance and houses both a religious as a economic centre. Besides the cities, the district is primarily covered by a large forest and open rural area, mostly overseen by the two cities.
The City of Lutheria is one of the main cities in the Region of Kilden and is situated along the important trade route to Belthem. It is located in the district of Aegheria but has an independent status and thus serves as a sovereign district. The city is built on a sacred hill called Scheddelsted, on which a large abbey towers above the streets, named Wingchere Abbey. Lutheria is considered a place of all religions since residents are free to practice their faith. Because of this, Lutheria has attracted all kinds of people and has become a melting pot of cultures.

Amt Aldáer
The District of Vöhren is one of the four districts in the Amt Aldáer. The majority of this district is covered by the ancient Grenn forest, which also forms the borders of Vöhren in the North, East, and West directions. The South Border has changed many times, but currently, it follows the old Roman Road to Belthem.
Vöhren is divided into three neighbourhoods - Walden, Denron, and Roven. The Walda family owns and manages the Walden neighbourhood, while the Roven district is owned by a Count. The Denron neighbourhood is owned by multiple farmers and does not have a landlord or a lady.

Denron is a neighbourhood situated in the District of Vöhren, which is a part of Amt Aldáer. The community is predominantly inhabited by farmers, with the most notable estates being Lutz, Lympha and Hochter. These estates are either owned by the inhabitant or an external person, such as a landlord, baron or marquess. Before 1798 however, the whole neighbourhood was managed by the Rhodon family, who resided at Fieldfare Manor. Because of the patriotic movement and financial problems, the family had to sell their shares of the land and move out. Fieldfare Manor now stands derelict.
The majority of the neighbourhood is covered by a dense, ancient pine forest known as ""Grenn forest"". This forest is protected due to its age and ecological value, with only small portions developed into farmland. Grenn Forest is utilized for agroforestry, where various crops are grown amidst the ancient trees, including fruit and nut trees, mushrooms, as well as locally present species like juniper, cranberry, and blackberries. Additionally, animals such as sheep, chickens, and deer are raised by man in the forest.
In the southeast of the neighbourhood lies a raised bog, an extension of the Wester Wüste. The bogland is utilized for peat mining, and the ponds are used for retting flax.

Walden is a neighbourhood in the southern part of the Vöhren district in Amt Aldáer. It has been owned by the Walda family for decades, with Sjoerd Walda as the current Landlord/Baron. The main house on the land is the farm Grennsted, where the Walda family resides. Scattered around the area are small farms, mostly owned by cottagers or used by Grennsted labourers.
A large part of the neighbourhood is covered by Grenn forest, an ancient forest with a high ecological value that is protected by the Walda family. Additionally, sections of the rivers Kild and Holle are also protected due to their contribution to the biodiversity of the neighbourhood and district. In addition to the main farm Grennsted, there is a watermill called ""The Black Poplar"" located on the banks of the river Holle. The mill is used not only by residents of the Walden estate but also by people from other areas. Currently, the watermill is used as a flour mill, oil press, and sawmill.
