Detachment from the current world, taking a step into Wimgarde, a fantasy world centered around the city of Aurora. Constant turmoil traveling from place to place as citizens need to trek through orc territory to get the the Merchant City of Vox or through the cursed valley which is filled with war just to get to Dressrosa. Confined to this world, citizens have no where to go as they struggle to get the the serenity of Bryn's Fairy Kingdom or to Everland's port City as both are blocked by obstacles and mountains.The only place of relief is the sanctity of the World Tree. If they travel to far, they come to the end. There is no escape from the world that mirrors USC, if one has gone to distant, they fall off into the dangers of the World's Edge Falls.

Shores of Arland

Here on the Shore's of Arland, one can glimpse past the horizon and over the drop. Past the brief sea, the falls can be seen by anyone who makes the traverse towards the edge.Although a beautiful sight, these outward edge's bring some adversity as there are bandits and undead that scavenge the shores. Come here at one's own risk.

Worlds Edge Falls

Welcome to the end of the World. There is no way past here without risk. No one has ever went beyond the edge and came back. This is truly the world of the unknown. There is speculation of something beyond the edge that is greater than what is known, but the risks seemingly outweigh the pros except for a bold few.

Everland's Port City

The home of those that love the sea. This City boasts the majority of the sea power and water focused trade in all of the Kingdom's. They are in contact with the fairies, Dressrosa, and The Merchant City of Vox. Not only that, Everland is in close proximity to the central city of Aurora although it is a hard traverse.

Cursed Valley

This path through the valley brings constant war. The residents of Aurora have had constant strife with those of Dressrosa. They have severe disagreements on who to allow in their territories as Dressrosa's people hate the Elven people.Along the road through the valley there is a constant flow of war, which wandering travelers struggle to navigate as they often fall victim.

1 sound

Dressrosa

Dressrosa is one of the cities with its back to the water. This city is home to many of the hunter's that maintain peace throughout the kingdoms. The hunter's are neutral to political strife. They purely move to beat beasts, increase their status, and act selflessly to protect the weak. Unfortunately, the political regime causes many problems for the hunters as they have heavy prejudices against different groups.

1 sound

World Tree

The place that is believed to have direct access to the God's. Under the tree, one can hear angelic voices, which are believed to be coming from the top of the tree. Traveling to the tree is supposedly the route to cleansing oneself of all disease, poison, and stress.

1 sound

Abyss

The lands of Abyss are scattered with sand dunes. The climate is dry, and there is zero water to be found throughout the whole terrain. It is believed to be that there are inhabitants of this territory.

1 sound

Bryn's Fairy Kingdom

Bryn is the Queen Fairy that resides over these lands. She is welcoming to anyone although with her 624 years of experience, the thought of double crossing her hospitality is lethal. She is the strongest being walking the world, and a leader of strong regard. The kingdom has been carefully developed with pink and purple accents. They live side by side with nature.

1 sound

Serene Mountains

The last obstacle before making it to the land of the fairies. A calming walk that some equate to a pilgrimage. Although beautiful and full of breath taking sights and creatures such as Pegasuses, the hills are steep and can wither down one's strength.

1 sound

Hunter's Guilds Territory

These lands are riddled with dungeons and caves full of monsters that can deal grave repercussions upon common citizens. It is heavily recommended to traverse the region with hunters nearby as they are heavily equipped with what is necessary to provide protection.

1 sound

Frozen Cliffs

These lands drop down well below freezing.The cold is only bearable if wearing the proper clothing. And traveling is only possible with proper precaution. The cliffs one has to walk along are icy and as a result, quite slippery. This is not a common traverse, with very few traveling along the path each year.

1 sound

Plain's of Peace

Under the protection of the fairies, there are beautiful sights and sounds all around. This is a place of romance where many go for sunset picnics or for the kids to play. There is no chance of harm in this region.

1 sound

Orc Territory

This is the most dangerous region throughout the lands. It is home to the Orcs. This group thrives off of battles and eats those it defeats. Going into this region is potentially a grave mistake, so it is better to steer clear. The Orc's do not venture out very often, so the risk is vastly minimized if you travel around the borders.
