If you come here, I assume you're not looking for Fairyland. If you are, try the guy next door =P He's small, has this green outfit on, flies a lot...can't miss him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Land of Viragor is composed of eight different areas of immense size, seven land, and the eighth the ocean, each one ruled by a separate royal family, one of them being the Imperial Royal Family. Saravis, the land of the Royal family, at the center is flanked by the desert to the south, southeast, and east; the grasslands to the southwest; the forests to the west; ocean to the northwest, and northeast; and the mountains to the north that branch off further toward the northeast and northwest.
- Saravis - Land watched over by the many scouts and soldiers that patrol the roads, at its heart lies the National Capital of Erium, home to the Imperial Royal Family, the rightful rulers of all of Viragor. Erium is also the place for which the Guardian Festival was held, and for where the Viscus Minuo were brought each year. The presiding Emperor or Empress held office until death, and at such time, the oldest son or daughter would take place as the next Emperor or Empress. Erium is the only city within all of Saravis, and the high walls watch over the grass planes that circle around it, making archers vital in the protection of the city. Positioned on a giant but low steeping hill, it makes surprise attacks by day impossible, and even by night, it was difficult to assault. However, once under total darkness without even the light of the moon, as shown by Yandel's attack, the mighty walls become little more than stone.
- Helvinon - The land of the great grasslands, located southwest of the Saravis, the savannas of the Kingdom of Helvinon are home to the mightiest and most powerful horse riders across all of Viragor, famed most for their cavalry and archer cavalry. While archers of the Saravis may boast skill, only a Helvinon archer can boast better. A common saying goes: "If you face a Helvinon archer, pray a rock is nearby." On the grasslands, they rule as masters of tracking and archery, and are known to be able to shoot a man five hundred yards away. They've earned the title of "Horse Lords of Helvinon", and few can best their master archers. Within their Capital of Helvinon, Itias, located on the far side of the land, next to the sea, lives the Helvinon Royal Family who have guarded the brown Viscus Minuo. Legend has it that the brown Viscus Minuo has the power to control the earth and hills, and shake the planet to its core with earthquakes the likes of which no living creature has seen.
- Bagara - The massive land stretching to the south, the southeast, and the east of Saravis are the desert lands of Bagara. A place of intense heat, and long miles of sand that make even the most veteran of travelers nervous. Known as the Land of Endless Sand, it makes traveling the desert difficult without a marker for travel, and such markers can easily be lost from view because of the heat, and cause people to see things. Known also as the Land of Illusion, travelers will wonder if they're even still in the world they know. Only the natives seem to get through without difficult, and are commonly the guides of many who pass through. Known particularly for their exotic culture and dancers, the Capital of Amarva is home to the Bagara Royal Family, who protected the orange Viscus Minuo. Amarva is also known as the only flying city. Atop a large and expansive rock, it moves about the desert from one location to another. This is made possible by the magical powers of a stone called the Deserter Stone, heirloom of the Bagara Family, and its location known only to its bloodline. Legend has it that the Deserter Stone was made from the orange Viscus Minuo. As the Desert Stone's powers over the sand let it rise the rock above on the heat of the surrounding air, it is said the Viscus Minuo can cause the desert to shrink or expand at will, and wrap the world in sand.
- Filumdi - From the great tree tops high within the sky, or even the dark reaches of unknown roots on the forest bottom, the forests of Filumdi are known for their beauty, as well as their poison. Located just west of Saravis, the edges of the forest are overgrown with vines, forming a large and spanning wall that cover the entire rim of the forest to even the ocean on Saravis's northwest side. The vines are known to be as strong as steel, and if attacked, can spring forth like snakes, capturing anyone that happens to be in their way. It's unknown what happens when the vines do get their prey, if they are simply tossed to the other side, crushed between the many vines that form the wall, or are given as a treat to some plant monster beyond. Many things lurk in the forest floors, made dark by the crowding leaves and plants, and making it difficult to live near the ground. Most live in the higher tree tops, only accessible by air because of the vines, where sunlight can reach them, and where the mages have learned to control the plants, making homes and tools to work with. Located at the top of many trees, near the forest's farthest corner where the ocean lies, is the Capital of Ethabor, and living within is the Filumdi Royal Family, of whom they have guarded the green Viscus Minuo. Legend has it that the green Viscus Minuo can create entire forests and its very presence is what caused the forest to grow and become violent.
- Parocus - The name of the Kingdom that rules the sea, it is all the water that laps at the rocks that meet it at the beach, and is single-handedly the largest Kingdom of them all. As the continent that forms the Land of Viragor encompass the land to the north, branching off to the northwest and northeast, land to the west, southwest, south, southeast, and east, the northeast and northwest directly from Saravis are ocean basins with all of the ocean surrounding the continent as a whole. There are not many people that know of where the Capital is, but people have long since heard and rumored that it is a city many miles under the sea, named Morlinjaka, protected by the ocean depths, and made possible by an ancient device known as the Diamond Trident. It's through it that some people think that it's able to move about the ocean freely, but others have wondered if it could also fly through the air. People are still unsure of what it looks like, and those who have seen it were sworn to never speak of it. All that is known is that it houses the Parocus Royal Family, who have secretly kept safe the blue Viscus Minuo. Legend has it that the blue Viscus Minuo can cause the tides of the planet to rise and fall and make all land disappear under its mighty depths.
- Judita - The mountains made impassible to the unfit and weak, the Kingdom of Judita are well protected by high rock made sharp by the wind, thunder, and lightning. Located to the north, the road that passes through the split of rock made by in the mountain is the only safe pass into it. From there, it is up to the traveler to pick their own path. Filled with wolves and the like, the mountains of not only Judita, but Cydur and Asadur, are home to dragons, but also home to many other creatures. Located near the arch bend of the land to the ocean that separates it into Cydur and Asadur in the north, the Capital of Lithalur lies within the mountain caves, protected by the mountain and made strong by the castle stones used to fortify the entrance to the city, making it difficult without a full army invasion to break down those great walls, known for being larger and stronger than the vine walls of Filumdi. They are commonly known as the "Shield of Steel", having never once known defeat against an enemy. It is also the home to the Royal Family of Judita, who protected the gray Viscus Minuo. Legend has it that the gray Viscus Minuo can shape the winds to form the mountains and the rock as it sees fit, and if need be, strike down with lightning from the heavens upon its enemies.
- Cydur - Branching off toward the northeast as the ocean laps over the land to separate the mountains, the hot steam of the air, and warm, bare brown rocks of the mountains that cover the land give signs that this is indeed the land of volcanoes, the Kingdom of Cydur. A mining culture known well for their weapons and armor, as well as machines of war, they're only better known as the "Fire Dragon Lords" or "Blaze Lords of Cydur". Able to command the dragons that live within the mountains, and within the caves they mine and sleep in, they rule the sky of their mountains without opposition. Cladding their dragons in armor as strong as any steel, their power is only matched in their lands by the machines they create. Resting within the volcano known as Kaborum, the great machine Capital of Gavon houses the Cydur Royal Family, who have guarded the red Viscus Minuo. Legend has it that the red Viscus Minuo can summon fire and rock from the planet's depths and burn anything to ashes, such they could turn all of living creation to glass.
- Asadur - With dragons just as powerful as the Cydur, the mountain Kingdom of Asadur to the northwest has been known as the greatest military force in all of Viragor. Their winter mountain wasteland is barely with warmth, always cold, and during summer, the heat that travels the winds and collides with the cold wind of their environment makes their land a nightmare from hell. Creating winds, snow storms, tornadoes, and the like that can rip flesh from bone makes their land an environmental fortress from the inside out. Known as the "Asa-Frost Dragon Lords" or "Ice Lords of Asadur", their already made resistance to the cold is made stronger by these storms, but tests the limits of their abilities. Perfect training for them, making themselves and their dragons stronger, and more able to navigate the skies in the storms while others would be unable to move for days and weeks. Located deep within the icy mountain of Lakodina, the Capital of Validor is an ice fortress protecting the Asadur Royal Family, who in turn protect the purple Viscus Minuo. Legend has it that the purple Viscus Minuo can freeze the world over and give forth a wasteland of ice, killing all life and cause snow storms like no other.
