Helvetica
- Geneva: baronial seat and capital, set among mountains on the shores of Lake Lorraine.
- Geneva College, formerly Geneva Girls' Finishing School; centre of the action. Employs Gert, Hans, Arvid.
- Schloss Shriftsteller, home of the Baron.
- Mysterious Waterfall of Mystery (see: Elena). Apparently mundane, but embroiled in fate-witch plots.
- Mt. Schaedelbrecher. Overlooks the main pass from Geneva to Eisen; houses Saint Alsace monastery (from whence Brother Etienne, Cujo).
- The Schwarzen: big spooky forest, getting slightly less spooky at the edges. Eventually leads into Montaigne and Eisen.
Montaigne
- Sices Province. Economically reliant on timber and carpentry.
- Bois-Franc. Closest significant Montaigne town to Geneva; about a day's journey away. PCs no longer welcome there due to prison break.
- Home of Nicolette and her father, Judge Dupin
- Guillotine factory. One former owner, only slightly exploded.
- Prison. Imperfectly escape-proof.
- Mont Saint-Gabriyon. Provincial seat of Sices; about two days from Geneva. PCs no longer welcome there due to an entirely different prison break.
- 5 rue Plumet, fancy home of Armand Chevalier.
- du Sices mansion, currently uninhabited; former home of Lady du Sices. Chevalier has his eye on it.
- Prison. Demonstrably insecure.
- Bois-Franc. Closest significant Montaigne town to Geneva; about a day's journey away. PCs no longer welcome there due to prison break.
Eisen

- Stahlfort: three days' travel from Geneva.
- Strassenburg: one day's travel east of Geneva. Probably Sieger.
- Karnstein: one day's travel northeast of Geneva. Probably Sieger. May have something to do with Camilla of that ilk.
- Wische, a koenigreich where there is rumored to be a secret enclave of Montaigne nobles hiding from the revolution. At the far northwest of Eisen.
- Fischler, a koenigreich near Sieger
- The Kleinberg is A) a small mountain within the Schwarzen, B) the lands surrounding said mountain, and C) the the noble house which controls these lands (and which Hans belongs to)

Elsewhere
- Hereford. Profitably rural Avalonian shire. Cat: still not Duchess.
- Skraelitov. Largest province of northern Ussura, with a highly profitable beaver-trapping economy. Entirely fictitious. Inheritance of Rodion Rurikovich, who looks suspiciously like Gert in a beard.
