Rather than "Drakborough Port," perhaps a title like "Drakborough Village" is more suitable for that. We could include farmers here and have them involved with the dock and maintaining the river. It can be home to farmers, fishermen, and adventurers. Something like that?

Board descriptions, first revision! I merged the Merchant District and City Square into "Arcadia Commons." I made the hospital its own board since all characters everywhere may find it just a tad bit important. Since Az said he pictured Drakborough near the falls, I moved it up in order to be right under the Twisting River board.
1) Arcadia City a) Firefox University - The school where humans gather to study magic and increase their house's fame. -Classrooms - Students attend lessons and practice magic here. Classrooms vary by description and exist in the depths of the basement and reach up to the middle towers. -Arcane Council - The heads of each house meet here to manage Arcadia City. The meeting room exists at the top of the tallest tower and overlooks all of Arcadia and even into Avalon beyond. It is filled with luxury suitable to those of their elite status. b) Grand Library - This elaborate three-story public library was built out of the wishes of Arcadia's founders. It is loaded with books, scrolls, and papyrus from all the civilizations the humans have managed to collect them from as well as arcane lore written by the human survivors here. Anyone who damages the library while practicing magic will have to pay a fine and will be banned from the library for a specified period of time. c) Housing District - Humans reside here in their homes ranging from the middle of the city, where the wealthiest reside, to the outskirts, where the poorer residents may live in their humble homes. The wealthiest areas are grouped according to houses, but many poorer people live outside of them, farthest away from the city square and merchant district. -Noble Residencies - The members of the Houses Cobalt, Windwaltz, Halifirien, Muryllis, and Marina reside here. Each group of houses has its own designated style. -Bath House - Although the noble house districts have their own personal bathing rooms, they are all out-classed by this popular and luxuriant bath house. It costs a pretty penny to enter. d) Arcadia Commons - Folk come from all over to trade, sell wares, and buy lunch. The city square contains news and requests on bulletin boards. A statue of the five archmasters from ages past decorates the utmost center of the square and includes a man with spiky hair, a woman, a mouse-like young man, a warrior, and a man with long hair and waving robes. The individual identities of each figure and which archmaster each one is have been lost to time and are an object of great debate. e) Lardale Hospital/Schmitt Health Center (name help plz--Lardale Hospital sounds better to me) - Medical staff treat physical, mental, and magical illness here. The inpatients rest on the second floor, the office and outpatients are on the ground floor, and medical documentation is kept private deep in the basement. f) Arcadia Underground - The most abjectly impoverished humans--and some things that may not be quite human--survive here under difficult conditions. The lighting is dark, and, except for the pimps, no one is keeping tract of who goes missing... Rumor has it that illicit activity, including the horrid act of necromancy, may occur in its depths... -Dungeons - Criminals sit out their punishments here. Fortunately for them, the living conditions here are still superior to the raw underground, so the most residents may commit a crime to be admitted here and get a bite to eat. g) City Walls - Three-story walls may sound excessive for measly humans, but the guards here must defend the citizens against abominations. h) Cemetery - The dead meet their final resting place. Since the area has been recently vandalized, the number of guards on night watch has been increased. i) Dueling Grounds - These grounds were relocated to the far edge of the city after one too many duels resulted in a house fire.
2) Avalon a) Plains - Many people venture here to collect herbs, farm, or hunt. b) Twisting River - This icy river melts down from the mountains, pulls into the Shining Lake just outside the city, and then continues over the edge of the continent as the Endless Falls. A dam may be closed to contain the water in time of a drought, and a gate exists at the edge of the waterfall to prevent any fools from being washed over the edge into fae land below. c) Drakborough Village -A rural village near the Endless Falls. It contains the docking plateau for travel to and from Faerie, and it is home to farmers, fishermen, and adventurers. Although naive abominations may target the villagers, the villagers quickly teach them why they have survived on the frontier so long, and the abominations typical end up as piecemeal goods traded to Arcadia City. d) Asphodel Forest - This inscrutable forest may appear to be inviting for a long walk and picnic until a lycan rips one's head off. Lycans are believed to reside here, deep inside the heart of the forest, but no human has returned to confirm these suspicions. e) Ravenwood Peaks - These cliffs are named after a hero of a war long-forgotten. Although the vantage point here is looks over all of Avalon and is superior to the Arcane Council's, the vampires present are so welcoming of guests that no human investigators have ever returned. -Bagley-Aldaine Manor - An elaborate white Western-styled mansion with dark windows where vampires reside. f) Island of Shadows - Located on opposite side of the continent as Arcadia, this broken chunk of continent remains floating in the sky, although it is separated by about 500 meters from the rest of the continent. Since it is so far away and dangerous to explore, little is known about it. Fog coats it, and a spire of ruins known as the Diadem Fortress peaks overhead. Rumors suggest rebels and criminals who escaped Arcadia may reside here.
3) Faerie a) Faelight Forest - An enchanted forest lying a couple of miles below Avalon. Fae lure, kill, or mutate the humans they trap here. b) Magic Horizons Ruins - The ruins of an ancient castle rumored to lie on the edge of the world. The laws of physics are distorted here with an utter lack of gravity pocketed with areas of intense gravity. Water flows upward, and the flow of time is so abnormal that no one has been able to report what lies beyond.

I have no idea what to call the site as a whole. firedeep.proboards.com since we're using firedepth right now?
The heart of the woods is listed in the description for Asphodel forest. Having a separate sub-board for that seemed redundant to me. It's kinda like the city of Arcadia in that respect. Likewise, the description for Diadem Fortress is listed in the Island of Shadows. I don't see either of those two places getting enough activity compared to their main board or their main board getting enough activity to be separated from their sub-boards.
My main thing there is that it means the vampires have a general territory and their own specific sub-board, while the werewolves have a general territory and nothing else. I love my balance, either nuking the manor or adding in the werewolf specific sub-board.

Added the heart of the forest. Left the Island of Shadows with the Diadem Fortress as-is. We still need a name for the hospital. If no one complains, I will just decide to go with Lardale Hospital since that sounds a bit better to me than Schmitt Health Center.
For the new site... firedeep, firedistance....? Idk.

You know, I just remember I totally wanted people to be able to buy their own sub-boards, so good call with diadem. Let the evil scrubs buy their own castle.
As for naming, I was thinking of like....name of the site more than URL of the board. So, we are Firefox University rather than firedepth. Dunno if we were looking to say Firefox University again or something like "City of Arcadia" or "Land of Avalon" kinda stuff.

Hospital name could be hyphenated. Lardale-Schmidt. Co founded by one wizard proficient at healing the body and one proficient at healing the mind. Just a thought.
