Would it be possible to add Simon's hermit cottage? If so, here's the info!
Stone Cottage The stone cottage is located in the woods of Niseca near Boiss. Those who have gone there have found Simon, a hermit of sorts who lives a quiet existence fulfilling the requests of his customers. The cottage itself is small, surrounded by gardens growing a variety of alchemical ingredients, and is unassuming enough from the outside. Inside the walls are covered with shelves filled with knick-knacks, dried or drying herbs and flowers, and strange items that feel ingrained with magic. Most people in the area know of this at the place and word has been slowly spreading, bringing people from ever farther away to request potions, hexes, or magically charmed objects from the self-proclaimed Potioneer and charm-maker extraordinaire. The stories of the hermit in the woods have gotten away from him a bit, and most people come to him expecting an old, haggard, scary warlock. The stories do tend to keep away the riff-raff though, so he doesn't go out of his way to correct them.

I'd like to add Vanya's tower, which is in Rielcia!
Tower of Many Planes Not more than a few miles north of Ilibisivity stands this impressive, towering structure. The tower is quite strange, looking as though it should not be capable of standing - and there are no doors at its base. In fact, it looks as though it were pulled directly from a castle in Aissic... Which is exactly where it's come from. There is a single door on the tower, near its top, which opens into the abode of famed conjurer-for-hire Sialarvanya Konstantinov. To get to the door... Now, that's the trouble. Many tend to choose flight or levitation, but those without such abilities are welcome to use the ivy clinging to the tower to climb, or the single rope that dangles from the tower's top. On rare occasions - when an invited visitor arrives - a flock of pink and gold butterflies arrive and whisk the visitor to the door. This also seems to be the conjurer's preferred method of entering and leaving her tower.

I was hoping to get the following two places added, in Rielcia and Dirys respectively!
Nenrind Within Rielcia the city of Nenrind sits as one of the innermost rings which surround and protect Protera and the academy of abjuration. Known by many as the “city of rushing water”, Nenrind is famous for the collection of magical waterfalls which cascade down from its walls, as well as the numerous fountains and canals which run through the streets. Though beautiful to behold, there is also rumor that the water itself is enchanted to protect Nenrind should it and Rielcia ever come under attack. The city was once ruled over by the high elven Pherithil family, but following their arrest the city is now administered by a representative of Councilwoman Fong.
Boneway At the heart of the Dimant sewers in Dirys lies a collection of hidden tunnels, alcoves, and chambers known as the Boneway. Built near the earliest days of the city the Boneway has served many functions, from storage to prison to impromptu tomb, before finally being lost to time until it was rediscovered by the Shroud assassin order. The Boneway now serves as the order’s main sanctuary within Dirys and a site of refuge and supply for its members, from where they can access a system of tunnels and pipelines leading throughout Dimant. The sanctuary has so far eluded even the most vigorous search carried out by Dirys law, though there is speculation that the searches themselves are hindered by influential members of the government, with Dimant nobility making up its fair share of Shroud clientele.
