As the afternoon sun dipped lower, Prince Lyxander ventured into the study chamber where Master Ellias awaited, surrounded by a multitude of tomes and maps.
"Good afternoon, Your Highness," greeted Master Ellias, his eyes reflecting a mix of seriousness and warmth.
"Are you prepared for today's lesson?" he inquired, his gaze fixed on the eager prince.
Prince Lyxander nodded eagerly in response.
"Yes, Master Ellias. I'm ready."
"Our discussion might extend until evening," Master Ellias cautioned.
"I welcome the opportunity, Master," replied Prince Lyxander.
"Good" with a purposeful air, Master Ellias unfurled a large, detailed map before Prince Lyxander.
"Before we begin, how well do you know the lands surrounding our kingdom?"
"Somewhat, Master Ellias," answered Prince Lyxander.
"It's vital to understand our surroundings," Master Ellias explained, pointing to various locations on the map.
"Let us now begin our exploration of this map," Master Ellias gestured to the map.
"Here at the center lies the Eldorian Castle, where we are situated right now. It's the heart of our kingdom, surrounded by lush forests and rolling hills."
His finger moved north.
"To the northern border is Norhall Castle. This region is known for its rugged terrain and harsh winters. The Great Arena is located here as well, where warriors from all over come to prove their strength and skill."
Next, he shifted westward.
"Here is Faerhaven, a place of wonder and mystery. The Enchanted Forest surrounds it. This is also where we harvest many of our medicinal herbs, essential for healing and potion-making."
"To the east," he continued "Is Avaloria, situated along the Ormshire Ocean. Avaloria is renowned for its battle prowess it is the home to some of our greatest warriors."
Moving his hand southeast, Master Ellias pointed to another location.
"Mireworth is here. This region is dominated by the Legendary Mist Valley, where a perpetual magical mist creates illusions, confusing and disorienting those who venture into it."
He then indicated the southern part of the map.
"Levans lies here, a vast desert land with scorching heat and treacherous sand dunes. Ferocious creatures, both large and small, inhabit this region, making it a dangerous place for the unwary traveler."
"To the northwest," he said, "is Esteria.
Despite its cold, icy climate, Esteria is a haven for scholars. It's home to the Grand Library, where our most ancient books and tomes are kept a true center of knowledge and learning."
