| == the Central Continent ==
| |
| This landmass is centralized on the world map. Its ecosystem is compact when compared to the rest of the world. This is sometimes thought of (in modern times) as the capital continent of the world, mainly due to the location of the "Capital City" on the center of the continent.
| |
| | |
| * Unnamed Capital City
| |
| | |
| * Tulimshar - A desert fortess town and the birthplace of the demon race.
| |
| | |
| * ''Sonbrand'' - A town located in the depth of a cold tundra; birthplace to the human race.
| |
| | |
| * other locations are still being accepted and thought of.

| ''it should be assumed that the eight, single-element races will have a crystal located somewhere in the heart of thier native lands. They have all in their own way, taken up retainership to these crystals, which are now much smaller than they originally had been; the countless shards are scattered throughout the world.''

| | The great desert of Tulimshar is the largest in the world, serving as natural protection from most invaders. These harsh conditions also make life in the Tulimshar area quite challenging, for outsiders and natives alike.

| | |
| Note: The following Landforms could not be classified under any particular location: Gispaa Island, Blachet Sea, Collis Forest, Ivari Sea, and Issa Marsh. Thus, they can be used anywhere on the map where the artist so wishes. I have also categorized each by direction. I used the Kingdoms, Landmarks, and World Backstory pages on this Wiki to categorize all of them. If you follow the trail, you will see that all of the information was categorized correctly. ~Pauan.

| '''I want to avoid giving another name to the regions that each major ''kingdom'' lies on.. ''ie, Tonori Desert / Tulimshar..'' let's spread out our usable names a bit more, and be realistic about how much the names might confuse people later on, if they're too abundant and redundant.'''
