A vast plain south of Aralon. Streams run through it for irrigation, but crossing it isn't difficult. There are several large crystal formations in the plain that absorb the rays from the Sun and give off an illuminating glow at night, making the plain sparkle beautifully.

Sub-board: Solar Crystals

A wooded land west of the Plain, the necessary road to the forest city of Tolan. Torches and a few smaller Solar Crystals light the Forest at night, and the light canopy above allow plenty of sunlight during the day.

Sub-board: Tolan Gate

The city of the Forest, Tolan stands small but proud inside the Tolanawood. It was once a logging community, but soon they decided to respect the wood and not further desecrate it. Soon, the clearing just became Tolan, and other sources of wood were found throughout Aralon.

A massive forest that surrounds the Ancient city. It is lush and considered by many to be beautiful. The thick canopy of trees cover the path well, so it is generally dark to some degree in the wood, but given that it is the only way to the City by foot, it is still well-traveled.

Sub-boards: Serali, Banks of the Etmos

A road running along a river heading south from the Syralwood. Some opt to walk the length, some take a boat from the Syralwood to the city of Kasumi. Some old ruins lay on the path, but no one is sure what they once were.

The Junipare Caverns do not seem mystical or ancient, but rather fresh and exciting. Streams that collide aboveground to form the River Etmos run through the tunnels, and paths have been well-beaten into the underground rock faces as tourists trail the Hall of Stone, once built for a viera matriarch's burial site, and the sacrosanct Lair of the Silver Fish where many come on pilgrimages to pray before their various deities.

A fabulous city near the southern tip of the Western Continent. It sits on the border of Aralon and though a passport is required for travel is definitely a tourist destination. It is a sort of luxury town in a way, complete with hot springs..

The road leading through the Lothan Highlands was once scene of a great Summoner War, Espers of Verata fighting the Espers of Alexandria. Though it looked like Verata was done for, a lone Summoner took charge and his Bahamut carried Verata to victory. The deep scars in the land on this high terrain are evidence of this.

Sub-board: Bahamut's Scar

The once-proud home of the City-State of Alexandria, reduced to rubble by the might of Espers. The Mist produced from the attack still drifts in light amounts, wisps, through the remains of the city. Its a somber site, surely, but the Veratans consider it an example of Imperial might.

On a cliff overlooking the ruins of old Alexandria, the new city was build to solidify the ruins as a symbol of Imperial might, the power of the Empire towering over the ashes of it's adversaries. But though the city has a very dark meaning, it manages to still be a generally happy place. It looks like a more technologically advanced version of old Alexandria, though the castle has been replaced by a Grand Cathedral.

A tall mountain just north of Neo Alexandria. Storms are overly common along the path up the mountain, and that path winds in and out of caves and over bridges. Long ago, it is said, Mount Corona had a vane of Nethicite, though none has been seen inside the caves and mines for a long time.

The desert around the walled city of Lenecia. Not far north is the mountainous border with Nabudis, but to the south, through the dry desert, lies the more lush coastal regions of Lenecia.

A vast unstable region of the Lenecian Desert beyond the Expanse. A bridge elevated high above the sand heading south is the only way across the region. The bridge is supported by pylons and towers heading down to the sea, and many lives were lost building it.

Sub-board: Desert Prison of Lakesh

The Sandsea Bridge comes to an end at the gates of Mustopha, the beautiful coastal city of the Lenecian Desert, and the end of that desert. It is a popular shipping community and a person could book passage to Bryll in Aralon from here. Most of the water shipping is done at this port and Port Bryll.

A disaster ravaged the once beautiful fields around the Necrohol of Nabudis. To this day, a thick layer of Mist covers the area and very little plant life grows. But many like to explore the Deadlands, searching for ruins or just studying the Mist.

Beyond Jagd Gerish lies Jage Inyo. Though there is a large landing field for Airships, the lawlessness of the region still earns it the title of Jagd. This is a place for vicious cutthroats and terrible pirates that is not for the faint of heart. It is a villainous place that knows not the limitations of civilization.

Sub-board: Landing Pad

A forest at the north end of the Deadlands, It survived the disaster in a way, but whatever devastated the live in the Deadlands petrified the entire forest. Mist is thick in the southern parts of the Silverwood, and in the north, it snows rather densely.

Sub-board: Kaeke Village

Vast fields of ice that cover the northern area of the continent. Though it's left mostly untouched by the Mist, the cold is near unbearable. Thankfully, Clan Centrino has set up a number of heated rest houses along the icy path.

A quick and smart craft owned by the Strahl Travel Agency. It, too ferries people from place to place. It's engines are more powerful than the Sierra, but it lacks that ship's charm.

The Highwind is Strahl's fast and luxurious craft, amd is also very expensive to book a flight on, as most of the time it is reserved for high-ranked officials visiting other countries or royalty going to and from summer homes and the ilk.

The Corydalis is an ancient ship known for reliability rather than extravagance or speed. People who board the Corydalis know to expect a silent, smooth flight in decent conditions.

The worst of the Strahl Travel Agency's many ships, the Rupunzil has very low standards. The staff are rude. The rooms are poor. Yet some, those who have no money, can expect a ride on this ship to be fairly easy to obtain.
