Arcania High is isolated from the outside worlds of the multiverse perhaps, but that doesn't mean much since you have a thousand square miles of land to explore that dominate a part of the compass.  Each area is untamed, populated by wild animals and dangerous creatures alike, ranging from simple goblins to indomitable ice giants.  While the dangers out there are very real, much can be learned if you have an open mind and don't let yourself stray too far from your group.  NEVER LEAVE THE CASTLE GROUNDS WITHOUT TEACHER SUPERVISION!<br/><br/>(Of course, rules are meant to be broken.   :P)<br/><br/>The beautiful mountain ranges that are part of the<strong>northern</strong>trek from the castle are a sight to behold, especially during the sunset hours.  Despite nearly zero degree weather in the higher altitudes, sudden snow blizzards, and the wild and uncivilized beasts that inhabit it, the mountains are a beautiful place that must be seen at least once during your four years with us.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/mj23/mj230910/mj23091000447/5713210-mountain-canyon-early-in-the-morning-shadows-of-a-clouds-are-running-along-the-canyon.jpg)<br/><br/>(http://www.ecardmedia.eu/data/media/49/Brooks%20Mountain%20Range,%20Alaska.jpg)</div></div><br/>To the<strong>west</strong>we have the wide open plains that cover the entire western quadrant of the pocket dimension.  From green pastures covered in flowers to more barren and cold tundra landscapes, the open fields are where centaurs, horses, and more make their homes.  Out of the four environments that we've been blessed with, the open fields are possibly the most dangerous due to the fact that storms that ravage the land can generate tornadoes and flash floods.  But, after such a storm, the land blooms in vivid color as flowers and other plants spring from the ground like wild fire.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(https://my.qoop.com/store/Angela-E-Sevin-6de03edab13b7cb01e3576df31c68cfc3564fb91/open-plains-by-Angela-Sevin-qpps_595870328515796.LG.jpg)<br/><br/>(http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5013/5422955527_b5c44113a4.jpg)</div></div><br/>To the<strong>east</strong>, lies the deep forests and jungles of Arcadia High's pocket dimension.  Heavy tropical storms rain supreme during the right season, but no matter the time of year, disease, strange fungal growths, and other hidden health issues can be obtained from not being prepared for a trek through the forest.  Despite the hidden dangers, there's plenty of other more visible threats out in the trees and even under your very feet, mainly the wild creatures that make places like this their home.  Still, the lush canopies are a rich place of beauty and a treasure trove of life as well as material wealth in the form of alchemical components, among other things.  One just needs to know where to look.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_M-O7p8EyXXY/TRwNrbSwkmI/AAAAAAAABMs/4Lno8dE30TE/s1600/SunlightForest.jpg)<br/><br/>(http://groveland.spps.org/uploads/Rainforest.jpg)</div></div><br/>The desert region to the<strong>south</strong>of the castle, and what a sight it is.  The sweltering sun does little to deter the creatures that make the place their home, but adventurers are still advised to take the time to learn from their experiences within the desert grounds since you just never know where life might take you after you're done here.  There is an oasis out in the desert, but don't let its beauty fool you into relaxing since underneath the pristine appearance of the forest that's out there, even more dangerous beings reside as well more natural dangers from poisonous plants and other hazards such as giant desert storms.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Spoiler: Click to Show/Hide</div><div class="spoiler_body">(http://xmb.stuffucanuse.com/xmb/image.php?&amp;aid=2022&amp;Desert_Oasis__Libya.jpg)<br/><br/>(http://inlinethumb02.webshots.com/18049/2730604760102347975S600x600Q85.jpg)</div></div>
