	A ''hills'' region is mountainous, home to sharp inclines, rough escarpments or similar forms of difficult terrain. Although this does not limit the ability of armies to traverse the territory, it has important implications for strategic magic such as [[Frozen Citadel of Cathan Canae]], and enables an Imperial [[Army_qualities#Guerrilla\|guerrilla]] army to execute a ''hit and run'' order if the Empire controls the region. Examples include the cave-filled slopes of [[Morrow#Altis\|Altis]], the magnificent peaks of [[Hahnmark#Kalpamark\|Kalpamark]], and the rugged valleys of [[Kahraman#Braydon.27s_Jasse\|Braydon's Jasse]].

	An ''islands'' region is made up of large amounts of water and a number of discrete landmasses. It is commonly also coastal, for obvious reasons.

	This region has little in the way of fresh water, with wells being valuable commodities. They are often also sparsely settled.

The curses [[Rivers Run Red]] and [[Rivers of Life]] are ineffective in a territory whilst any region is arid. At present, ~~Icarion and Nadir of [[Mareave]]~~ have this quality.
