'''Datroya Plain –''' a large, mostly barren wasteland that was once full of life. The ground water there is highly toxic to human life. 
'''Dariius -''' an infamous ship. [[Drianna Snarevine|Drianna]]’s aunt’s husband was one of the crew. He got hit pretty hard by the virus they brought back with them. If the crew had given themselves enough time to adjust to the environment it wouldn’t have been half as bad. As it was, they nearly managed to wipe out the entire population of Edelride and would have if the Central Medical Board hadn’t stumbled on the cause and come up with a vaccine. The loss of life was still staggering.

'''Dream sticks –''' made by wrapping a blend of cured herbs in a long, thin roll of brown paper, these are highly addictive and can have mild hallucinogenic effects.

Use of these is highly frowned on by the Central Medical Board (CMB) as studies have proved that long term use has been linked to serious health problems. The Agency strictly prohibits use of this drug by any of its members though this policy is difficult to enforce; the herbs used are largely innocuous on their own and it’s only in this particular combination that they become dangerous. The standard forms of drug screening won’t pick up on it. If an Agent is caught using dream sticks, they will be fired.
