It seems like you want to know more about a few of the areas that cannot be found on Ro, in-game.

The Sunspires
The Sunspires are home to two warring groups, the harpies and the gnolls. The harpies have always revered the Sunspires as a holy place; their home and birthright. The recent incursion by the Anaz Mal gnolls have brought down the full ire of the harpies who are attempting to rid of the infestation of unwanted visitors. The Sunspires is named for its three towering spires which lie between two large mesas in the pillars of flame. The two mesas were once one large single platform rising from the sun-baked ground, but erosion and an impact from a meteor have worn a single pass through.

The Crags
The Crags consists of a forest of sharp stone spires, narrow canyons and broken rock ledges. Divided by the Rujarkian Hills, this region is home to many of the creatures familiar to the desert regions of Old Antonica's Desert of Ro. Orcs, goblins and harpies struggle for supremacy in the winding canyons of the crags, using the varied vertical terrain to take whatever advantage they can. Here is where the first temple of the Ortallians was built, the temple called Rath'Mana. On the other side of the unassailable wall created by the mountains, is an area rumored to contain the secret grottos of pirates. They use the cave-ridden shore of the region as a hideout from which they launch attacks throughout the seas of the Shattered Lands. They have no doubt, discovered the secret shipping lanes that allow safe passage through the Sea of Sand that engulfs the island of Ro.
