The Place of Rejection, or Mount Taygetos, is a jagged, mountainous range running through Sparta. Male infants examined by the elders who are found weak or sickly are abandoned here on the cliffs - unfit to be soldiers, unfit to be Spartans. The Apothetae is little more than an infant graveyard, littered with skeletons.

In the middle of Sparta sprawls the palace of Leonidas, King of Sparta. With an inner courtyard, olive grove, and various terraces, it is an impressive building to behold. Family and servants of the King and Queen live here.

Located in the crux of a cliff valley not far from the palace lie two of the great Spartan temples. The Sanctuary of Artemis Orthia and the Temple of Ares Enyalios. Watched over by priests and priestesses, Spartans pray to these gods for protection and an honorable death.

The forum is an enormous structure surrounded by columns. Much like a stage with rows of seats, it serves as a meeting place for lectures and debates involving the Elders. Once a year, this is the bloodstained location of the Diamastigosis. When all shouts and sparring have ceased, it can be a peaceful place of recollection.

The pass of Thermopylae consists of a narrow track of land along the shoreline - so thin that only one chariot can pass through. On the southern side of the track stand the cliffs, while on the north side is the gulf. Along the path are a series of three constrictions, or "gates", and at the center gate a short wall has been erected, the remains of a previous battle centuries before.

The cliff route taken by the Spartans; the location of Leonidas' camp, protected by the towering rock walls surrounding him.

The river of Cephisus runs through the ancient city, and is the basis of the water supply. Wells and baths draw their water from this long, sparkling river, which empties into the Saronic Gulf.

An ancient highway built by Xerxes' father, Darius, it runs the entire Persian empire for 1677 miles. Primarily used by merchants or the king's messengers - take this road and you will find Xerxes' palace.

The ancient capital of Persia, and location of the Apadana Palace, home of Xerxes, the imperial Treasury, and the Tripylon - an enormous debating hall. It is the home of most prominant Persians, and favorites of the king.
