North:

The Northern realms - mostly mountains and snow, thats the basic thing you can say about this area. It's cold up there, pretty damn cold in winter since snowstorms make life there quite hard. This place was once one of the mayor countries leading the world, the entire area was held by the germanian throne. Sadly most of their race perished with the First charge of the Witches.

area view Photo|area view Photo 2|Castle photo

Asgard is a town that recently revived itself to its former glory, ever since the secret successor of the throne has returned to the Castle. Asgard is currently the only free town in the north ever since the destruction of Garuga, gathering the scarce amount of Individuals living in the north. Belonging to Leonor Alexandrer von Fabre (among friends simply know by leneor) the city takes the place of the only save haven within the north beside the Witchhunters Headquaters. While still being build up by the new inhabitants of the once-in-ruins town, its strength is high enough to fend of even high level threats thanks to magical artifacts and the large walls surrounding the city.
Most Inhabitants are young witches loyal to Leneor, survivors to the slaughter of Garuga and several wanderers and merchants in the north - People in search for refuge are accepted into town, even if they are considered a threat to Witchhunters or other larger organisations, in exchange they are forbidden any violent actions however.

Destroyed Tower of Angara
area view photo

The tower lies about in the central of Filrae, the region around Asgard, consisting of a falling apart tower and a wrecked town surrounding it, the area is engulfed by a large shield of magical origin. Anything inside this sphere is affected by the poisonous aer (poluted mana) shown through an unnatural white, barely noticable due to its enviroment.
Normal will suffer headaches, while magic-wielding individuals will continuesly suffer serious health problems. This area should desperately be avoided by individuals holding high magical capabilities.

East:

The east is one of the most peaceful area's of our world, the climate is made for humans to life in while allowing the wildlife enough space to stay within their territories and not meddle with them.
The eastern lands are also named the great green carpet, as this area owns vast green land and forested areas alike, while there are a few rivers and larger sources of Water nearby. Most settlements around here are villages or towns,larger cities are a rarity.
The Mountain range in the north is rather uncharted territory, mostly inhabitated by wildlife.

The eastern Hq is clevery build under a lake in the middle of a forrest, the only safe way to enter is by taking the train. The train then heads down a tunnel. Eastern contains a small library it is not the biggest but some of the rarest and most important books involving the history of the world is contained within it.
While still being rebuild, the complex returned to its original duties, securing the land in rare cases of danger for the people in the area.

Myrill
area view photo

Myrill, a small town that is secluded from the rest of the world among the eastern plains. The inner town is made of a circle pattern, the only way in is by enetering through one of the four gates, located at each side of the village. At the eastern side of the town is a large forest located, it houses many strong animals. It is said that strong demons and creatures alike slumber within it. The place was under constant attack from local wildlife, but now the attacks have recently stopped. The villagers are self sufficient, able to take care of themselves without the help of others, but they are unable to defend themselves from monster attacks.
Since the attacks stopped, the original attackers seem to somewhat protect the town aswell, as long as the forests nearby are not lumbered down further.

Central:

Becoming the center of the known world, Central shows a large variety of places and individuals, most of them Gathering in the Large towns and the city of Toron. This area is strongly forested aside from the cities, more so than the eastern plains. This area has the furthest technological advance, thanks to the Witchhunter Main branch residing in the area, nevertheless this place is dangerous at times, even inside the cities, as predators lurk everywhere...

Toron
area view photo

Toron, the enormous city that resides close to Central Headquarters. The city is protected directly by the Central HQ, making it a lovely target for more skillful invaders. The city extends over a vast area, and many markets and shops can be found within its streets. The place is extremely multicultural, buildings of all shapes and sizes. The people believe that they are safe from any attacks so long as WH is close. Many blue-class and green-class have started family's within this town, because of this WH have decided to place regular personel within the walls of this city. This town is also a main supplier of rations and clothing.
The City still keeps its own guards, while Witchhunters patroll the city every now and then.

West:

The deserts - thats pretty much what one can say about the area. There isn't much live here, but still there are important places to mention. The church grounds and Angma sogul for example, or the free city of Ankarah. While two of them are rather violent towards their respective enemies, Ankarah is a netral meeting point for adventurers and merchants.
This area holds long forgotten treasures beneath the sands...

Witchhunter Headquaters (western branch)
area view photo

The Western Headquarters of WH, the buildings and structures are well hidden by the dunes of desert sand. The sandstorms make it almost invisible to attack. The place is made of special stone that keeps the staff inside safe from the killing heat, and protects them from attacks. The base has proven to be a powerful strategic point. The Witch Hunters here are intelligent and amazing tacticians, some of the best amongst WH, you gotta be smart to make it out here. Still, this hideout is the weakest among the diffrent headquaters along with east, barely able to make an important mark in the territory with Angma sogul and the church grounds nearby.

South:

The violent seas, not earning the name simply for being stormy, but because this area is not under Witchhunter protection but held together mostly by pirates and merchants, along with diffrent institutions working undercover.
While the sea does not have many storerooms in the middle of it, there are several nice island one can take a ride to, though theres a high likeability to risk ones life doing that.
