Places:
Arbutel – The island where Gordinth took the two dragons to live after
the mass deaths of the dragons on Tritem – also place where he, Sindri,
Claring, and Quirin now live.
Carthage - Carthage (from the Phoenician Qart-Hadasht "New City" , was
an ancient city in North Africa located on the eastern side of Lake Tunis,
across from the center of modern Tunis in Tunisia. In approximately 814
BC, Carthage was founded by Phoenician settlers from the city of Tyre,
bringing with them the city-god Melqart. Traditionally, the city was
founded by Dido (or Elissa), and a number of foundation myths have
survived through Greek and Roman literature.
The
Chocolateir's Shop – Pink and white striped awnings hanging from roof
and over the front windows. Chocolates painted on the front window. Pink

Constantinople -Constantinople1 (Greek: Κωνσταντινούπολις) was the
earlier name of the modern city of İstanbul in Turkey in its role over
more than a millennium as capital, first of the Eastern Roman Empire,
subsequently of the Byzantine Empire. The last imperial designation
reveals the city's even more ancient Greek name: Byzantium. Constantinople
was located strategically between the Golden Horn and the Sea of Marmara
at the point where Europe met Asia, and was highly significant as the
successor to ancient Rome and the largest and wealthiest city in Europe
throughout the Middle Ages.
Egypt
- The Arab Republic of Egypt, commonly known as Egypt, (in Arabic:
مصر, romanized Misr, in Egyptian Arabic Másr), is a republic in North
Africa. While most of the country is geographically located in Africa, the
Sinai Peninsula east of the Suez Canal is in Asia and Egypt is often
associated with the Middle East. Egypt is thus transcontinental. Covering
an area of about 1,020,000 km², Egypt shares land borders with Libya to
the west, Sudan to the south, and Israel and the Gaza Strip to the
northeast and has coasts on the north and east by the Mediterranean Sea
and the Red Sea, respectively.
Egypt is
the fifteenth most populous country in the world. The vast majority of its
77 million population (2005) live near the banks of the Nile River (about
40,000 km²), where the only arable agricultural land is found. Large areas
of land are part of the Sahara Desert and are sparsely inhabited. The
majority of Egyptians today are urban, living in the great Arab population
centers of greater Cairo, the largest city in Africa, and Alexandria.
Egypt is famous for its ancient civilization and some of the world's most
stunning ancient monuments, including the Giza Pyramids, the Karnak Temple
and the Valley of the Kings; the southern city of Luxor contains a
particularly large number of ancient artifacts. Today, Egypt is widely
regarded as the main political and cultural centre of the Arab and Middle
Eastern regions.
