 '''Tree of False Dreams''': Beneath the branches of this looming elm tree are the shades of past monsters, such as the Hydra, Scylla, and the chimera. While they cannot maim or otherwise injure anyone physically, their presence may be enough to scare away anyone who would come close. This tree conjures dark dreams, thoughts, and feelings, and if not careful, one can be stuck there in despair.

 '''Gates of Tartarus''': Tartarus is secured primarily by the Triple Wall of Bronze, which extends far below the surface of the Underworld. Accessing the Pits of Tartarus is achieved by passing through one of the gates. Typically, no one just walks through the Gates without Hades knowing of it.

It has been observed that when touched or licked, the victim becomes highly confused or disoriented, and often loses memory of who they are or where they are. Its current origins are unknown.

 The Asphodel Residences are a mid-tier housing complex located in the far west section of the Asphodel Fields. The shades of the indifferent dead call this home, those souls who were neither pious or wicked. The residents seem to be in a constant state of disinterest or boredom as they meander through their afterlife, mimicking their previous life.

 A valley that slopes from the Asphodel Fields into the east will take you to the Mourning Plains. The further into the plains one travels, the more foreboding the scenery becomes: dwindling townhouses sit in rows and looking like the meanest ghosts – the homes of the shades that are employed to work the mining operation owned by Hades.

−	Titarial is a lone island in Oceanus; the landscape is mostly rocky with sparse vegetation and few trees dotting the land. There are a few small tide pools formed around the immediate shoreline of the island, but they grow scarce the further inland you go. There are no valleys, lakes, or mountains – a fairly flat landscape with small rock formations.

−	In the center of Titarial, there is a mountain that is hallowed out in the center that stretches to its peak and opens into the skies. The cavern inside is only reachable by an immortal born or raised in the Underworld. Within this cavern is a sphere of stone that is suspended in the center. Its origins are unknown.

−	The climate inside of Titarial is comfortably warm and dry, sometimes tepid. Outside it is at the whim of Oceanus, but generally, it is damp and chilly. The weather in Titarial is usually overcast, storms and varying rainfall are common occurrences.

 Elysium as a whole is primarily filled with lush foliage, stunning forests, and rolling plains of flowers, with most of this surrounding the Apartments of Asphodel. Access to this region is generally through the Gate of Dawn; however, Hades, Persephone, and other worthy individuals frequently cross the Lethe River to reach Elysium.

 '''Hesperia (Isle of Twilight)''': Located directly above Makaron, Hesperia is home to the Hesperides, the nymphs of the evening and of the golden light of sunsets. Soft, rolling sand dunes and oases cover this expanse, eventually leading to the Gardens.
 '''Gardens of the Hesperides''':  The Gardens are located on the far eastern tip of Hesperia. In contrast to the sandy expanse dotted with small oases, the Gardens are a paradise. Exotic trees and flowers grow in abundance, birds of paradise, macaws, and other exquisite fliers make their home here, and many choose to linger around the massive lake that rests within the Gardens.
