Desert Oasis

A small but busy desert town centered around a large oasis, every kind of shop imaginable is here. There is even a psychic who runs a small business from a tent she has set up at the edge of the oasis

Sub-boards: Triet Ruins/Temple of Fire, Triet Desert

This is the only foot trail from Iselia and Triet to... Anywhere else on Sylvarant. There are no ports in that area either, so any traveler from around there will eventually end up passing through this place. There's an abandoned mine that has an entrance on the Izoold side of the mountains, and a maintenance shaft on the Triet side. Be careful of the monsters here; you could get mauled by a bear~

The Small Fishing Port

This small fishing village is actually the only seaside town for a very long distance. Any traveler from Iselia or Triet that doesn't want to walk for miles and miles and miles will have to attempt to get someone from this town to lend them a ride on their boat... Or have their own boat they manage to carry with them everywhere. (Why?)

The Port City

This port town is the largest city on Sylvarant, and a center of commerce world-wide. Odds are that every traveler will make their way here eventually. It is famous for its special drink, known as the "Palma Potion" and the academy here that only the smartest people can get into.

Sub-board: Palmacosta Human Ranch.

Similar to Triet and the Ossa Trail, this is the only foot trail from Palmacosta to anywhere else. However, instead of monsters, there's a rather different form of obstacle. A greedy old man lives here, and charges ridiculous amounts of money for passports. There are also guards stationed there that prevent anyone without a passport from going through. It's not quite clear why this is allowed. Even if this is gathering funds for the nearby city of Asgard, surely more money would be gained by reducing the price than actually waiting for someone who is actually capable of paying for it...

The Forgotten City of Destruction

The City of Millwood, home to the half-elf Michael Derksen. The village was attacked due to Michael supposedly being a traitor. Now all that resides here are Exubela's

The Seal of Wind

This ancient building is a relic of the ancient Balacruf Empire. It's a famous tourist attraction to look at from the outside, though the inside is sealed, as this is another place of trial for the Chosen. On the inside, past the nearly unbreakable door that blocks entrance for all but the Chosen, there are numerous traps, puzzles, and monsters. The true Seal of Wind lies on a balcony at the back of the ruin

This city is famed for its caves of murals, and the various ruins around, including one that supposedly has a summon spirit inside of it.... Wouldn't that have to make it the Seal of Wind if it were true?

The City of Water

This town is similar to Triet in a way, in that it has shops of every kind. In contrast to how Triet is small yet busy however, Luin is large yet peaceful. There are a number of small streams of water flowing through the city, but they don't get in the way. Even if there weren't bridges, the streams could easily be jumped over.

The serenity of Lake Umacy is almost dreamlike. Nothing disturbs the silence except the calm sound of the gentle breeze making small waves on the water, and the sounds of any wildlife nearby, though even that is subdued, as this place makes everything calm, and no blood, animal, monster, or human, will be spilled here for any reason. This place is truly a sanctuary.

At the bottom of this lake is a unicorn, who appears to be encased in a bubble of air. The only way to get near this creature is to use summoning arts and have a pact with Undine. However, even then, the unicorn refuses to speak with any but a pure maid

The Village of Adventurers

Though it is known as "The Village of Adventurers" it really isn't quite a village at all. There is an inn with a couple of shops, and a graveyard for people who died in the area. Currently, there is a man trying to run a business giving rides on specially trained dragons, but that's not technically a feature of the town...

A huge tower near Luin, this place is normally kept under lock and key, so that not even the Chosen herself can get in under normal circumstances. Should you manage to get inside, the first thing you'll find is a huge library of ancient, lost knowledge.

This tower is filled with puzzles, and it is impossible for a single person to reach the top on their own. Instead, it requires a number of people, who must split into groups to solve the magitechnology-fueled puzzles. After seemingly endless stairs, you'll reach more puzzles, this time requiring you to reflect a beam of light with mirrors. Once you finally reach the top, there is the Seal of Light...

People from all over Sylvarant come to see this famous tourist attraction, located on an island near the area of Palmacosta. This geyser erupts with HUGE streams of boiling water. On the other side of the geyser is a cavern, inside which, lies another place of trial for the Chosen of Mana. Deep inside is the Seal of Water...

If you come from another area that is not listed above it will replace this board

Home of Gnome

Located near Meltokio, this place is a huge cavern, and is truly maze-like. Besides having multiple levels to walk up and jump between, there are also bridges and pieces of rock that require being broken by using an altered Sorceror's Ring to cause earthquakes, while standing in the right spot... No, really. That's somehow the only way to reach the Seal of Earth, where Gnome is. You have to wonder why whoever is in charge of all this bothers with the effort of repairing the traps and stuff. I mean seriously, how do you even repair it? And why do you have to be standing in the right place? Since the earthquake seems to have the same effect on everything nearby normally...

The Imperial Capital City of Tethe'Alla.

The capital of Tethe'alla and the center of the nobility, Meltokio is a grand city. The upper section of the city is paved with white marble and gold, and there are numerous extravagant mansions. The middle part of the city is also paved with white marble, as is part of the lower section, but they aren't nearly as extravagant. The middle section of the city holds the majority of the shops, as well as a huge arena where fighters can test their skill and fight for amazing prizes.

The lower portion of the city, apart from the area near the front which is still pretty, is almost depressing. These slums lack streets at all, they are merely a number of houses built atop raw dirt. Not everyone here even has a house...

Sub-board: Meltokio Sewers

This bridge deserves its name. Absolutely huge, and spanning across the ocean to make land travel between Meltokio and Sybak possible, this is truly incredible. This gigantic structure can be raised to block travel at any time, and it is powered by thousands of Exspheres. This is truly an amazing technological marvel, but...

Anyone who knows what Exspheres truly are and doesn't feel sorrow thinking about what is on this bridge must be truly heartless...

The University Town

This city is known as the University Town, for the reason the name might imply. This is a place of knowledge, with a huge library the likes that cannot be found anywhere else in either world. There is also a large university, which is famous worldwide, just like its library.

The first thing you'll notice is that this forest is... Dark. The thick trees block out virtually all light, making it difficult to make your way through the twisted paths, which are often blocked by ridiculously thick vines. This forest seems dark in another sense as well however. As in, evil. Many bloodthirsty creatures wander through here, ready to tear any travelers apart, and there are even undead around here. A twisted maze of trees, watered by the blood of travelers, this forest is widely considered to be cursed, and indeed, it may be...

Sub-board: Mizuho

This house, built into the side of a cliff, is home to a dwarf named Altessa. It is rather clear that he's not interested in visitors. After all, he lives in the same area as Ozette, nearly isolated from anywhere else. Fortunately for him, no one from Ozette is interested in visiting him either

This place, located on an island in the far northern regions of Tethe'alla, seems to be supercharged with electricity. Lightning will occasionally strike out of nowhere with no warning, which could kill the average person, and be at least rather unpleasant if you have an Exsphere. Of course, if you wear a rubber suit, not much of that applies.

At the top of a large chamber near the center of the temple is the Seal of Lightning, which a summoner can attempt a pact with Volt... And one has actually. For the first time in thousands of years, a summoner attempted a pact with Volt. An at-the-time seven year-old girl by the name of Sheena Fujibayashi... That incident was an utter disaster however, and due to various factors, Volt went on a rampage and killed a large number of people.

Deep within this forest is said to be the home of the Elves, and yet deeper, in a section known as the Treant Woods, lies the seal that the Summon Spirit Origin is attached to

Sub-boards: Heimadall, Torent Forest

A secret place guarded by the elves, this is the only place the fabled Mana Leaf Herb grows. Deep within, past an incredibly odd maze of wind-blowing flowers, and bubble blowing flowers (Yes, that is correct) lies the home of a man who seems to know more about the Kharlan War than anyone else alive... Or perhaps, is just more willing to tell than the others who know

This mine, located in a rather remote location, is owned by the Lezareno Company, which is in turn owned by Regal Bryant. This facility is completely automated, so there are no people really running it... Or guarding it. Instead, it's guarded by machines... And monsters. The inside is somewhat mazelike, especially if you have an irrational fear of stepping or jumping more than six inches up or down at a time. There is a door inside that you cannot open under normal circumstances. Presumably, the president of the Lezareno Company could probably open it, as it seems to be machine-activated...

The Quiescent Village

This town is as dark and depressing as anywhere else in Gaoracchia Forest, which it lies on the edge of. Isolated from most of the world by the dark, dreary maze of trees, the people of this place seem nearly lifeless. Until they meet a half-elf. The racism in this town is so extreme, that if a half-elf was discovered here, they might very well be ripped apart, and their death celebrated.

This eerie town isn't even on ground level, it is built on wooden platforms that lift them off the ground, perhaps supposed to symbolize that they believe they are above outsiders, especially half-elves. Down below lies the house of Presea Combatir, a girl who is feared by the people of this village...

The Seaside Paradise

A resort town that is actually owned by the huge Lezareno Company, this is a famous vacation spot. With sunny beaches, a huge hotel, and even a gigantic casino, this is almost paradise. The huge Lezareno Company building is in this city as well. Great place if your coming for a Honeymoon

Sub-boards: Beach, Amusment Park/Casino, Lezareno Company

This mysterious rock formation does not appear natural, indeed, seeming like a somewhat poorly carved ruin, though it's still standing. It is said that during the full moon, a gate opens, allowing you to slip into another world...

Located in the side of a mountain near Meltiokio, this place seems almost... Evil. In addition to all the puzzles in this ruin of black stone, there are abnormal amounts of undead. It even seems as if demons are drawn to the depths, where the Seal of Darkness lies..

This building is quite similar to its counterpart on Sylvarant. It is just as high-tech, and belongs to the same group of people that seem like Desians. Not many people know who they really are, but the King of Tethe'alla is said to be one of them...

Regardless, with all the traps and security measures in place, this place is far more difficult to escape than to get to. Considering that it's located on a remote, icy island, and was probably extremely difficult to reach at all, that should tell you something...

The Snowy City

This place is known as the frozen city... Well, because it's just as frozen as the entire frozen continent that surrounds it. Evidently the cold makes people get sick often, because the best doctors in the world all live in this place. This majestic town is truly a winter wonderland... If you can stop shivering long enough to look at the snow sculptures and everything else... Mostly you'll probably be more focused on finding an inn if you plan on staying here overnight. The city has a Romantic setting to it with the snow.

This huge mass of Mana lies between dimensions, right on the connection between the two worlds. There is a twisted maze of stone walkways infested with undead, hanging over an endless abyss of darkness. It seems to be hell itself, yet it is what keeps these two worlds alive... What twisted secrets may lie within?
