The castle is dreary, gloomy and terrifying. People like the Sheriff and Guy of Gisborne reside inside, where they come up with a new scheme every so often. If you're an outlaw, sneak in at your own risk! Nottingham castle, in the town, is south of Sherwood Forest.

The outdoors of the castle can be up for many uses - sometimes for hangings, or sometimes just for a nice stroll around...

Town is just outside the portcullis. People usually set up stalls to make a bit of money, but business is lacking. Small houses are allocated here as well - and there's always the Trip to Jerusalem Inn for a good drink.

The Trip to Jerusalem Inn is the well-known tavern in town. It's busy, stuffy and very cramped when it gets busy - but the atmosphere is usually good and the barman's never grumpy after a couple of drinks!

The outlaws' camp has been ingeniously crafted by the gang's very own 'crafty craftsman' Will Scarlett. It is hidden in a ravine-like place, so it's not easy to just 'stumble across' - it is almost invisible to others, and is concealed beneath the ground, with a lever embedded in the rock to pull the entrance up.

The forest roads are quite narrow but always leads to a handy shortcut. Make your way through at your own risk - you never know, an outlaw might be watching your every step!

Outside of the roads, there are kilometres of tall, lush green trees stretching up to the skies. Lose yourself in the beautiful Sherwood Forest!

Concealed behind the large area of trees, there is a vast green open, blooming with the most beautiful flowers in England. Just beside the open is a winding lake, with the clearest waters and the most refreshing feel.

The cave's an ideal hideout and a safe place to lurk during bad weather in the forest. Secluded and usually quiet, it is deserted and is currently the camp of another gang of outlaws - this time they're savage - led by brutal Irishman Cathal Mac Gearailt.

Splintering off on their own, some of the outlaws are setting up their own camp, their own lives, their own way...

Once the home of heroic outlaw Robin Hood, it is now run by the brooding Guy of Gisborne. It is different to what it was before Robin left for the Crusades and just escaped being turned into a garrison village. It is directly north from Sherwood Forest.

Kirklees is a village north of Mirfield; the Cistercian monks built Kirklees Abbey, which is a welcome shelter to anyone - even troubled outlaws. Barns and lands belong to the abbey, but with sufficient space for labourers to live in.

Other villages include: Clun (which is in Shropshire; the West Midlands of the UK) Nettlestone (east of Locksley) and Hathersage (roughly west of Locksley) Barnsdale (north east of Locksley) and Knighton (north west of Locksley) and there are many more.

This is anywhere else in the world, separated into sub-forums (gosh, did I describe the world as that?!), ranging from France to Italy to maybe jolly Austria! You name it, we have it...and if we don't and you need it, give us a shout!

London is around the south of England, one of the largest areas in the country. Notable places are the Tower of London, Westminster Abbey and the Palace of Westminster, an important place of royal residence!

This forum is solely for the masquerade ball which is taking place directly after the joust (which is on the 1st March). Nobles are invited to dance. The ball's taking place inside the Great Hall - but keep ball posts here!

The jousting grounds are a large space of flattened ground just outside town, just before the edge of Sherwood Forest. A lot of preparation goes on for the jousts - but when it is not occupied it can be used for meetings, or can provide a nice view.
