Fallen - The Forest
Forest Border
This is where Fallon ends and Kriue begins. The trees are smaller and less dense in this area. It is a nice place to be if you do not want to enter the forest for you can see it's beauty without entering. Also, this is on the bottom of the hill that the forest thrives apon, so when there one can see just how large the forest truely is.
Sivian River
The Sivian River is the largest river on this world. It stretches out all across the forest and even a little beyond it. It's water is clean and good for all sorts of things like drinking and cleaning. Though the river is long, it is not very wide and one can often simply jump across it.
Heart Of Fallen
This is the main part of the forest. Trees grow thick here and it is often dark because of that. Many different types of plants and animals live here. Trees that are centuries old. Plants that have healing properties or are deadly poisonous. Animals ranging from birds, to dragons, to wolves. Many enjoy coming here, many do not.
The Shadow Clearing
Deep holes fill most of the area of the Shadow Clearing. The hole are randomly places, and if one falls into one of these, there is no telling when they will hit solid ground, much less where they will be. In the center of this place is a giant tree. This tree is quite strange looking. It's branches do not go up into the sky, but twist across the ground. The leaves on these branches are there all year round, but are constantly changing color, shape, and size. The trunk of the tree is enormous. The middle is hollowed out and many whole and cracks cover it. Inside, one hundred humans could probably stand and still have space left over. But there would be one problem with that, there is no solid ground. The ground inside the tree is a giant hole, much bigger than all the rest. The tree's roots create a stairway that is rumored to go all the way to the bottom of the hole. What is down there, no one knows.
The Den of the Beast
You notice the woods get denser, it's harder to squeeze inbetween the trees now. If you do manage a way to squeeze through the tiny cracks, you will notice a den that sits in the middle of a shallow creek. The light shines through the treetops in an almost heavenly way. There is moss and ferns all over, even at the bottom of the creek. Flowers lay here and there, the place looks magical.
Aytrin - The Sky
Kitya Mountain
Kitya is a small mountain that really doesn't go very high. Many people climb to the top just for the fun of it, or perhaps to look around. It's not very cold up there, and there isn't ever any snow on the small peak. The mountain is kind of pointless, yet it's great for getting exercise.
Tianth Mountain
Tianth is the largest mountain known to this world. Kitya looks like a hill compared to it. Many try to climb up this mountain, and fail. It is quite dangerous with many rock slides, and up higher, avalanches. There is a lot of snow when you get higher up.
The Peak
This is the peak of Tianth. From up here, one can see the whole world. All of the lands are stretched before you and everyway you turn has a different view. Though it is incredibly dangerous to get here, it is worth it. The ground is snow covered, and the sky is always clear. It is also said that you can catch a glimps of the Spirit of the Sky here.
The Valley
This is a medium sized valley that lays between two mountains. Tall grass runs across the area, wild flowers blooming many times a year. Rocks of all shapes and sizes cover much of the ground, while the soft grass fills in around them. The Valley is actually fairly high above sea level, considering that it's between the two mountains. It may not be too high, but it can still make your ears pop!
Tree Hollow Nest
On the peak of one of the larger mountains is a strange sight. Snow covers the ground of the peak, but five large trees jut out of it and up into the sky. These trees are very thick and tall. They are so very tall that one with bad eyes could easily mistake them for a thin mountain themselves. Their leaves come close together so that one cannot see what is inbetween them. It is odd because it is not normal for trees to grow so high and out of snow. Because of this, many rumors have been passed. Some say that inside is a huge nest. A nest that is the home to the Spirit of the Sky.
Slaaiin - The Ocean
Rocky Cliffs
If you find yourself perched on these cliffs, beware, for to fall means almost certain death. From far above, you can see the waves crashing angrilly against the jagged rocks that stick up from the churning waters. There are many caves within the cliff face, though most of them fill with water when the tide comes in. These are often used as hiding places for runaways.
Sandy Beach
Waves lap against the shore, pulling the sand away slowly... A path leads up to the Cliffs, but many preffer to stay on the softer sand. Though it tends to be safe, watch out for the tides, since they could catch you by surprise if you're not careful. When the tide's in there's only a small strip of sand visible, the rest is submerged in water.
The Island
Most sailors pass this remarkable place. Filled with palm trees and many exotic fruit and a few birds. It's quite odd how such things could thrive in the middle of this place. There is a small patch of water in the middle that is fresh, but very limited.
Sailors often refer to this small place as "Ocean Paradise".
Coral Reef
Very beautiful, a spot for travelers. The coral reefs spread throughout the whole beach and include many sort of fish. Very nice weather along here, it almost seems untouched by humans. A favorite spot among the ocean-dwellers and forest-walkers alike.
Underwater Cave
The small place where it is said that the ocean god rests. It's very beautiful, though extremely hard to get to. For one, it is at the bottom of a trench and the water is very hot due to underwater volcanoes. Soft, multicolored seaweed and various other plants decorate inside the cave and outside (but perish when lava spews). On the walls of the cave are many nautical flowers. There is an air bubble in the cave, so if someone actually manages to make it there, they can breathe fine.
Kriue - Other Lands
Eyn Creek
In the middle of the land is a small creek that, if you look closely, can see little tiny minnows swimming in peacefully. A nice place for those who wish to do some quiet activities... as long as you can put up with the soft chittering of the birds who live here.
The Graveyard
On the right is a nice place where those who have not lived with any shame are buried. The place seems to shine with a sort of other-worldly glow. On the left... way out onto the plot of land is where the creatures who have betrayed their family or friends, who hurt others are buried with little ceremony and respect. Shadows dress the area, it would be a bad thing to go out there in the night.
Eastern Swamps (1 sub-board)
The Eastern Swamps are named for, well, being swamps in the east of the world. This area is quite dangerous however. All types of creatures thrive in the murky waters or live up in the twisted trees. This is also the land of the Dragon Overlord Syu, which causes many to not wish to cross the area.
The Tree Of Syutaraainlyinthalic
This is the home of the Dragon Overlord Syu. This tree is in the center of the swamps. It's trunk is very thin, but it suddenly juts out at the top, creating a platform of leaves and branches. The whole thing is large enough to fit and give much space to the massive dragon. However, it would clearly not be strong enough to hold her weight without the magic that keeps it together. Very few beings, other than her servents and prisoners, would dare coming near the tree for fear of being devoured by her might.
Desert Of Fire And Blood
The Desert is a barren wasteland of which stretches across much of the world. There is nothing but sand for miles on end. A small river about half way through is the only source of water possible to obtain. Temperatures are often too high to bare, and very few are seen around the area because of it. It is very common to see dead skeletons of various animals through out the Desert.
The Tower Of The Earth (1 sub-board)
The Tower Of The Earth is one of the greatest mysteries of the world. It is the point inwhich Fallon, Aytrin, Slaaiin, and Kriue touch. In each direction is a different part of the world. Forest and mountains on one side, ocean and other lands on the other. It is quite a sight. The Tower is just as amazing however. It is a rectangular shaped building made entirely of large stones. It goes up many, many stories, up to past the clouds. Inside, on the first floor is marble tiling and neatly made statues, nothing more. A narrow staircase enters to the second floor. It is rumored that the different floors after the first are part of a test. This is said because each floor has something odd or confusing on it. One floor may somehow be a covered with tall trees where one can easily get lost trying to get to the next floor. Another may be nothing but a room of fog inwhich one cannot see their way through. None have ever been able to get to the top of the Tower, therefore none know what it holds. It is said that it is where the Spirit of the World rests.
The Final Floor
This is the very top floor of the Tower Of The Earth. One who was able to get here must have gone through all the levels of the Tower without losing. They must have passed all the tests and gone through fear and pain. What is on this floor, is unknown, for never has a mortal being stepped foot here. Yet. It is said that this is where the Spirit of the Earth lives.
Rikkin - The City
The City Center
The sky is dyed a bleak grey color because of all the pollution that exits through this area. Though this horribly sky exists all over the city, it is worst here. The center of Rikkin is a large, white, domed building inwhich no one knows what is inside. Never has anyone been seen entering or leaving the building. All that is known is that much of the city relies on whatever is going on inside. Though no one may enter the building, many do come to wander about outside. And because the area is on a hill, the whole city can be seen from it, giving it a good reason for people to come around.
Renmoon District
This district is one of the nicer areas of Rikkin. It is where most of the inhabitants of the city live. Good sized houses cover the streets. Though the houses cannot be too big, and that there are many, many restrictions to what you can and cannot do or own, it is a fairly good place to live. If one does not follow these rules, however, they are taken by the Raptors. A few houses that are completely broken down are constant reminders of these rules.
Club Skyline
From the outside, it's hard to tell the place could hold so many people. Though not but a plain, windowless building, when inside, one can clearly tell that this is where the nightlife hangs. Music blasts from high quality speakers, yet, surprisingly enough, cannot be heard from outside. There are two stages in the club. The main stage is for the best dancers, while the side stage is generally for the new workers. There's a bar nearby with only a few seats. The place is no safer than any of the rest of the city, but is not really known about by the Raptors.
The Streets
The streets of Rikkin have many shops and places to go and buy. Though many of them are dangerous or broken down, it is the best place to be in Rikkin. It is not exactly safe, if you do something wrong. The Raptors hide in allyways and on top of buildings watching over everything. Come here to buy and sell, but know that there are often raids and murders.
Rikkin High School
RHS has little to no funding, therefore, is pretty beat up. The building is quite old and broken down. Students tend to care very little about their education, that is, if they show up at all. The halls and courtyard are always dirty, and supplies are constantly low. Teachers tend to care about as much as the students, rarely bothering with any sort of work at all. The school is practically a place simply for being with friends and doing not so innocent things, which end up going by unnoticed anyway.
The Train Station
The train station is a perfect way to go anywhere in Rikkin. If it wasn't for the fact that it is the most likely target for attacks from the Raptors. Often bombs are thrown through it's windows and the insides completely blown to pieces. It is a very risky way to travel, but if you are willing to take the risk, you can get anywhere in town in a matter of seconds.
Blacksky District
The abandoned district of Blacksky is far more used then it seems. The area is all houses, all of which are boarded up and broken down. Though some of them are actually as abandoned as they seem, many are not. Inside live human who are in hiding. Perhaps from being arrested from some type of crime, such as murder or theft. But most of the people in hiding, are hidding from the Raptors because of their use of technology. In there houses, many of them have things that have been banned for years. The people are often hackers or just obsessive technology users.
