This article collects information regarding the conceptualisation of the game world of The Mana World.
Before the Quake, the land in Tonori was very fruitful; the plains hosted many Talponian farmers to the east and Gispaan ranchers to the west. Lava flow and landslides destroyed the mountain city of Gispaa, and quaking leveled the coastal city of Talpa.
The devastation led to the joined forces of the once-waring people of the two cities in an effort to rebuild Talpa into the new city of Tulimshar. Despite the success of the city, the people were dismayed to find life fading from the land, as the region's landscape slowly turned to desert.
Tulimshar thrived, however, as Gispaans returned to their old homes in the mountains to discover the valuable crystals which are traded world wide through the port at Tulimshar.
Cities
Tulimshar
Main article: User:John Pyle/Tulimshar
Under the command of Sabborus Keshlam, Tulimshar rose from the ashes of the city of Talpa. Once of the Debury Kingdom, the newly founded Tulimshar became the first city in the Keshlam Dynasty.
The city has a port off the inlet on the western coast of Tonori, where the major export is crystals found in the Gispaan Mountains. The growing number of snakes and black scorpions in the desert has made the outskirts of the city a very dangerous place for non-natives.
Gispaa
Main Article: User:John Pyle/Gispaa
Thirty years after the quake, with the restoration of Tulimshar nearly complete, many Gispaan miners (not used to city life) sought to return to the mountains. Once an important source for iron ores, the miners made an historical discovery: crystals.
Despite fears that the miners' tampering would reignite the volcanic anger within the rocks of the mountains, the city of Gispaa was reforged at the summit as an outpost for the miners and a gateway for trade with Tulimshar.
Geographic Places
The Desert
There are a nomadic people that move through the desert center, presumably surviving on snake and cactus. These savage people, likely ancestors to the plains-people who hunted in the area, are very friendly and handy with leather work.
