The official World Map

[Alucard]

Twilight Vale:

The capital city of this country- Spirit Sanctum houses the stoic goddess and her most dedicated followers. Twilight Vale excels in magic and mystic arts, housing by far the most scholars of magic, mages and sorcerers alike.

The north and northwestern part of the lands are mostly consistent of mountains and glaciers. Even there you can find creatures and scholars of cryomancy. The southern area is connected to the Tea Plains. As such, the southern part of Twilight Vale is flat like the plains and inhabits most of the citizens. To the west, 3 small islands that are shrouded in mystery can be located. It is home to many ancient, crumbled buildings from destroyed cathedrals and sacrificial ritual chambers. Visiting the islands is extremely dangerous, but to many adventurers- it's clear that there is more to the ruins than what meets the eye. Twilight Vale is infamous for its prevalent cult activity. Said activity has stretched some of it's influence into most nations. The cultists do their best to cover their tracks, but its pretty clear that Twilight Vale is the heart of it. Their end goal is currently unknown.

Update: The lands have been ravaged and cursed energy of demons and gods alike plagues the air and soil of the land, with Spirit Sanctum taking the worst of it all. The ravaging of the land is so great, it would take decades to recover the land to it's former glory. Many have chosen to flee the lands, with only the most determined or resilient citizens and mages staying behind to research and develop possible solutions.
Cursed energy flows through the lands. Those who are affected by it for too long without protection risk catching a strange sickness. Many die from it like from a plague. Drained until there is nothing left. Some become mad, going on an endless rampage until they are either killed or die from exhaustion.

Through the efforts of The King, the other nations were spared of the titan's remnant curse.

Strange monsters have risen from their slumber. Some never seen before. Others are theorized to be mythical evil from many centuries ago.

Political status (updated): The beginning of confused anarchy. Many citizens fled south. Some fled north to hide within unforgiving glaciers. People seek refuge within Aether Valley and many more become immigrants to Tea Plains, who seem to be taking them in with mostly open arms.
To the public eye, their ruler- The Witch of Violet Roses has gone MIA.

Tea Plains:

The largest country of flatlands, hills and fertile earth. Previously ruled and cared for by the Overlord of Tea. The land thrives on farming and harvesting crops of all kinds, having the most flexible choice of climate with cold tundras to the south and sunny plains to the north. As the name implies, the Overlord of Tea was mostly interested in- well... Tea! She supplied the entire DRG lands with all the variations of tea one could ever dream of and more!

Tea Plains is also renowned as the center of learning and houses the world famous Tsuki Tech Academy, making Tea Plains most technologically advanced as a country in the entire DRG lands.

Political Status: The Overlord of Tea has since renounced her divinity and immortality and has since left the lands, leaving her country in the capable hands of the mortal people she helped raise to glory herself. The citizens use democracy.

Update: The current leaders of Tea Plains struggle as they suddenly have thousands of Twilight Vale citizens to shelter and register as temporary (or permanent) citizens of their own. They are currently receiving a warm welcome, as Tea Plains leaders used to have a solid alliance with Twilight Vale.

Lazy lowlands:

The lazy lowlands are not for the faint of heart. While most of it is below sealevel, that is the only consistent truth. The area is like many worlds collided, a playground for the insane. Its ruler has made no effort to keep things visually appealing, though the randomly scattered buildings, designs and ideas (often half-done) have their own charm in a way. The citizens are, within reason, allowed to do anything and it is exactly that freedom that they value. Magic and science chaotically clash everywhere. With great freedom comes great growth and the nation is ahead of the curve, the intrinsic motivation of just seeing what happens being a catalyst for chaotic strength. Nefarious types attempt to learn the most dangerous of magics here, to no avail. There are no legal rules but morally, everyone enforces the implied code like vigilantes.

Political Status: A monarch rules these lands, insisting people treat him like the greatest king. Usually, however, he does not have to show himself for ruling purposes as the citizens are great vigilantes.

Ferrum Highlands:

This small island is located east of Tea Plains and South East of Lazy Lowlands. Its main city is called Ironham. As the name suggests, it has the highest elevation level among the whole land which is formed by - Mount Hao, the island main focal point, due to this the land is far more colder than most land, be it day or night. This particular land is surrounded by three close islands- Temujin, Solon and Isolde. Though the land mass is small compared to most lands, it has the most structured mixture of old and new buildings and many tiny bustling cities and each has their own speciality to certain earthy elements. The citizens are a mixed bunch of people from all walks of lives and they assimilate each other's culture. The special thing about Ferrum Highlands is that, most of the people do not know about their founder, but know that they exist to govern the land to keep it peaceful. However, something sinister has been brewing in another land that wishes to end this peaceful reign...

Political status: The citizens of the ferrum highlands worship a secret deity, said deity grants them words of wisdom which they can follow.

Ancient Isles:

Ancient Isles is exactly what it implies- an ancient-looking island ruled by the god from old, classic era who rose back to power in current modern times. His mere presence has since affected how time flows within the Isles, turning it back to what looks like medieval times. People living within the Ancient Isles are known to strictly follow the god's will to the point where they can barely decide where they want to go, much less leave the Isles. Embracing the darkness is a must in order to be able to leave the islands. The Ancient Isles hide many powerful artifacts, powered by the irregular flow of time. Ruins and grand buildings, such as mansions and stone castles are a common find as well.

For some reason, time has been flowing somewhat normally once again recently. Citizens of Ancient Isles are presently able to enter and leave as they please.

Political Status: Used to be a dictatorship with zero freedom to the people. Until recently.

Forgotten Sanctuary:

A mysterious fog surrounds the distant islands of this archipelago. Whatever the source is, it seems to consciously avoid the Ancient Isles, it's nearest neighbour. The lands of the Forgotten Sanctuary were once prosperous, full of life and ruled by one of the ascended gods, who later gave up his title and disappeared from history. The Forgotten Sanctuary used to be a place for all who had nowhere else to go. Today, it is a place few dare to approach, thanks to all the people who went into the fog instantly going missing, never to be found again.

Rumors circulate the DRG-lands that some people did manage to at least leave the islands, but there are no documented and proven cases of such to be found in history books. It is said that those who escaped Forgotten Sanctuary describe the archipelago to be some sort of ghost town. What could truly hide behind this mysterious fog?

Political Status: ...

Aquatic Ocean:

Many say that civilizations hide within the oceans that surround these lands. Some speak of an old god ruling over the oceans but it has been years since a fish last bit and there are no signs of this god anywhere. The stories couldn't be true, right? All these legends couldn't have possibly vanished so suddenly..?

Political Status: Blub Blub.

Twilight Vale:

1. Spirit Sanctum

The capital city of Twilight Vale. Everything you would ever need can be found here. Taverns, inns, various shops, blacksmiths and government buildings. Most people of high status, nobles and government officials live here. Even the mansion where The Witch herself lives in is stationed here. Laws and decrees are all discussed and passed down here under the Goddess' watchful eye.

Update: A wasted warzone brimming with undead and a restless, foul presence. The dead citizens that previously fought for The Witch's cause now wander around as ragged and bloody skeletons. Some buildings southwards still remain standing, but everything else is full of blood, rubble and barren, magically cursed lands.
A half crumbled mansion where The Witch resided has been strangely surrounded by dark creatures. They seem to be generally aggressive towards anything- be it alive or undead. They tear apart anything they come in contact with.

2. Snowflake Peaks

A place too cold to inhabit normally. Many mages and adventurers alike come for temporary to seek out ice elementals and most powerful spells in cryomancy.

Update: Many citizens living in northern Spirit Sanctum have chosen to flee to Snowflake Peaks for a more hidden shelter. Strangely, an everlasting blizzard seems to keep the cursed magic at bay, giving people less things to worry about.

...Such as many new kinds of monsters springing forth, forming from snow and ice.

3. Mysterious Islands

A home to many ancient, crumbled buildings from destroyed cathedrals and sacrificial ritual chambers. Visiting the islands is extremely dangerous as there is a lot of cultist activity and a dangerously dense amount of magic everywhere.

4. Tea Plains Border

An established, wealthy and closely-knit trade route between Tea Plains and Twilight Vale. Exotic ingredients and rare, magically enchanted materials get imported and exported between the nations, providing each other great wealth.

Update: The Border is now an overpopulated immigration route for people wishing to escape the horrors of war. Many tents and camps are setup by citizens doing their best to keep despair at bay.

5. Luminous Tower

A watchtower powered by stored light and thunder magic made from materials imported from Ferrum Heights. It's main purpose is to observe the nations and the neutral wasteland for any possible incoming threats or immigration routes.

6. Nocturnal Fields

A place with prominent cultist activity for reasons unknown. This place is the magnum opus of all kinds of the more dangerous and offensive elemental or black magic. This region still remains safe to it's citizens, as to not trigger the Goddess' ire. Unique crops with mystic properties grow exceptionally well here. This might be caused by the slightly higher magical density in the soil.

Update: Due to the high magic density and the outcome of the battle at the Sanctum, the magic inhabiting this area is now extremely unstable and dangerous. No one has entered the area ever since the fall of the gods and no one dares to do so anyway. A few harshly corrupted creatures have been able to escape the area, running amok and causing chaos in Aether Valley.
Enter this place at your own risk. It is highly dangerous.

7. Aether Valley

By far the most peaceful and quiet region in the entire nation. This collection of towns houses the most people who chose to not pursuit the knowledge of magic and mystic arts, preferring the more mundane occupations such as farmers and miners or perhaps even dwelve into martial arts and physical weaponry.

Update: Despite everything, Aether Valley seems to be the part of the nation least affected by the fall of the gods. With the majority of the population enjoying the benefit of higher than usual magic resistance, Aether Valley prepares it's best fighters, explorers and scouts to seek out survivors from nearby lands and fight off invading dangers left behind as remnants of the war.

8. Grand Cathedral City

The second biggest city of Twilight Vale that has a very close cooperation with Spirit Sanctum. This city brims with life, tradition, light and holy and elemental magic of all kinds. All noteworthy clerics, priests and shrine maidens have started their occupation in here.

Update: The Cathedral of this city has been reduced to a grand ruin. Despite that, its walls still manage to stand- housing and protecting struggling survivors.
All clerics, mages, shrine maidens and priests possessing holy magic prepare for a crusade against the creatures of the dark and undead, hoping to liberate Spirit Sanctum of its blight in the end. Their number has been reduced from thousands to just a simple group of twelve.

9. Mirror Labyrinth Lake

A seemingly normal, exceptionally huge lake located in the very heart of Twilight Vale. Mystic, spiritual energy resonates within the waters during full moon nights and many festivals are held around offering tribute to the lake. This lake is the most important aspect to those who study hydromancy and healing arts.

Update: The lake has been frozen over and its mystic, healing powers seemingly sealed away... Wonder if that means anything? No creatures seem to even dare to come close to this place, leaving the hydromancers, healers, and mages of Mystic Arts alone. The cursed magic still affects the area however, slowly weakening them.
Mirror Labyrinth Lake has now become a beautiful Winter Wonderland... Now if only that wonderland didn't sap all the magical energy and life force the the people barely have left.

Tea Plains:

1. Egumi Stream
 A stream is always very warm water despite its location. Lots of small towns have been set up around the stream and it's somewhat of a tourist destination that has tea factory and production lined up.

2. Caelia Mills 
A massive outlandish mills powered by Tsuki Tech technology, what once was probably just a massive grain productive site is now almost full run by robots and drones, processing grains and tea leaves for the Tea Plains at an incredibly fast rate.

3. Sunada Mines
 Under the Oshima River, unlike the farmland this is a hard to navigate and very gritty mining place, dark and almost pitch black if not for the light of its reward, the key to Tsuki Tech's success, a powerful, hard to mine ore able to operate as an advanced battery and give life to technological wonders. The Mine's is property of the three towns surrounding it, the Tsuki Base (a township run by Tsuki Tech), the Ohno Village and Tomi Town, each of whom have rights to use the mine- outsiders being strictly forbidden.

4. Rōru Village
 The main attraction is a gigantic statue of a girl who looks like the Overlord, holding a watering can and grinning at the towns people around her. There's a small engraving on the statue that states, 'To grow from one’s past, one needs to redefine their future and work towards duality. Blessed be these fruitful lands.' and a surprising all year-round fresh tea for the picking

5. Tsuki City 
Home to Tsuki Tech Academy the most highly technological place in the whole place and it is without a doubt lacking of farmlands

6. Nerium
A sprawling farmlands with vast cottage like housing, and in the center of this sprawling farmland would be huge, fitting for the former home of the overlord, but now it’s a home for those without a home

7. Konami Island 
Main hub of communication between the Tea Plains and the other places, radio towers created at Tsuki City reside here.

8. Re-Homestead
 A 'homestead' for broken down robots for Tsuki Tech, where all failed or discontinued robots and bots are sent to die in the snowy, uninhabited section of the plains.

[Alucard]

Lazy Lowlands:

1. Hyperdimensional Hadrocontagonium!
A large floating cube made of metal that looks like steampunk connections and magic surround it, everyone knows it’s where the king lives but there doesn’t seem to be a way in.

2. The Colossal Seum 
A massive arena with rows upon rows upon rows of benches, set up for wild games. Every year, the lazy lowlands feature something like the Olympic games, except for arena deathmatch combat with any magic and science people wish to use. There are no rules a few rules, after a disaster not long ago. Perhaps it shouldn’t have been rebuilt but there is no event like this one. Every citizen loves it.

3. The old Colossal Seum
The disaster can be seen on the map as a white spot between twilight vale and lazy lowlands, there used to be an arena in the middle of that, before the participants showed up with their craziest creations and Dr. Graviton brought his “magic shield”. It was more of a magic collector that amongst the battles built up so much energy, a single lightning bolt blew it up and turned many kilometres of land into uninhabitable wastelands with high magic density.

4. Gold Statue
A 2000 ft statue of the King, the all-mighty one, the fatekeeper was built. By the man himself. Because he wanted to. It is made of solid gold.

5. Absurd Dam 
The capital city, a large heap of nonsense. It’s like walking into real life modern art, different small communities have grown such as a row of charred houses for those attempting to learn ‘coal magic’ and a large university that phases through the ground which attempts to combine science and magic by optimizing through experiments. Their latest breakthrough was a flame that does not require oxygen, using a pyromancer and a photon accelerator. Somehow, every corner of every street has free food (the creation of substance from nothing has been a proud invention by the Foodie Food Foods for years) and there are taverns everywhere. A particularly rich man (some say he created gold from nothing, the Foodie Food Foods refuse to comment on if their magic was used) has opened his own set of taverns that feature six floors instead of walls and a roof and allows people to sit anywhere. It makes for every interesting tavern games. He boasts about knowing the king personally but that’s probably not true.

6. The Big Adventurous Neo-political library
Many diligent workers do their utmost to keep the lowlands a safe place, any and all counts of immoral behaviour are recorded and promptly saved as data. While it seems like a very structured system of citizens working on the necessary precautions in a world with no written rules, some believe it is more of an unground assassination system to keep people in their place. Nobody really has to face the consequences as street-fighting is normal and the lands feature many healers earning boatloads of cash for their service. The king wouldn't particularly care, it works

7. The Castle
The citizens decided to measure the exact center of the lowlands, thanks to the university. They then decided it would be the perfect place for... a castle. A castle that anyone can visit at any time, like a student association for any and all citizens. It's still being created but the people decided to separate different floors and wings and give them to different people. Like a large lego-piece, they are now discussing how to solve the issue of mind-readers being next to the zombies. It should be the biggest project amongst the people of all, and it has proven how everyone can be different yet work together in unison.

One must mention the large amount of portals in the entire lowlands. It is very much in-theme for a lazy ruler to decide that nobody should have to travel long distances, ever. How and when the portals appeared, nobody knows, but whenever a new city is built, a portal appears in every other city that allows for the instantaneous from one place to the other. One must be careful though, as travelling this way is a significant burden on the body. Many choose not to use them often, as some ended up bed-ridden for weeks when they went home east from the old Colossal Seum.

The designer and creator of the castle have personally had the chance to talk to the King. They were granted not only explicit permission to ask for anything they need, a contract was designed in which the King promised to have an automatic portal system move the castle on a weekly basis so people no longer have to suffer the consequences of visiting the castle through the puke-inducing portals.

8. Royal Docks
For as long as anyone can remember, the ocean has been empty. It was for this reason that the king decided we should have some docks. With both regular ships and airships. Traversing the sea for some reason, he hasn't quite shared. With no other god to rule over the sea, the King and his lowlands are the closest to understanding and using the power of the sea for their own gains. They have to, the lowlands are below sea-level. The main source of income for a lot of northerners are these fishing trips. Some try to find delicious, fancy fish but the King chooses to fund anyone who is willing to traverse the oceans with underwater equipment. Some say the motivation is related to the supposed legends of the sea, as if the King would attempt to search for the remains of what used to be a civilization.


9. The Islands
In the middle of the map, one could see a few islands. Some of those belong to the King. The king has decided that he would like to open these islands for all regions to use, as he does not intend to use them. The only thing is; while neutral territory, the rules of the King apply. So one would expect a very diverse community to grow. It hasn't quite happened yet as the other regions in the area have their own islands but within the sea that separates the islands, the citizens of the different regions are closest and the ferrum heights have had some effect on the lowlands when it comes to style and religion.

10. The Tea Plains Border
Somehow, the closer you get to the tea plains, the less people state they have actually seen the King before. These days, he barely appears near the border, whereas the oldest of the community near the Tea Plains are 100% certain the King used to pass through a LOT. Weird.

[Alucard]

Ferrum Heights:

1. Mount Hao
Mount Hao is the highest elevation across the land and is an active volcano. Mid-way up the mountain lays the castle home to the “Seer” who provides council and guidance to the Circle of Steel. Identity of the Seer is unknown as it is assumed to be an apprentice of the Original Founder. There are month Transfiguration and Divination classes held here among many other classes.

2. Ironham
Main Capital of the land. It is where the people from across the realm gather and can be seen with its thriving buildings of high technology and old structure mixed together to create a perfect harmony. The capital is the home of all trades, government and even pleasure affairs and research.

3. Mea Hao
A seaside community where their beach fishing is a thing. Besides that, they all deal with seafood products like producing them, inventing new seafood flavors and those food technology productions happens here. Their supply comes directly from Temujin and they not only supply to Ferrum but the whole realm

4. Latraetium
A smaller state where mining of rare ores is done. These people living here are miners and farmers mostly with a few sailors. Ore refineries can be seen all over the state but it seems the air is always fresh.

5. Hekurian
The chasm of depths as it is known as the place is a very deep valley. Underneath lays a huge cavernous system that connects the land underground and it seems to be more military weaponry. While up top there are some factories and power plants that powers the island land with sea water.

6. Járnland
he second largest capital in the land. Its main business is tourism. They have anything and everything you need from the latest travel programs to virtual reality island hopping tours, you name it we got em. A statue of their Original Founder is said to be located here, however, since no one knows what they look like, it does not have much of a facial feature except as a hooded figure.

7. Solon
The tomb of their dearly beloved, is buried here. Every year on during the Spring Solstice. A small ceremony will be held here to commemorate his sudden death.

8. Isolde
This island an island of mystery but considered one of the most visited by the Ferrumnian to get away from live. It’s said that you enter to relief your childhood bedtime stories.

9. Temujin
The main port entry to the Ferrum Highland, all goods from other lands have to go through this island’s custom check before moving it to the mainland. It is also home to deep-sea mining and fishing related work which will be delivered to Mea Hao for processing.

Temperature of Ferrum highlands is cold all year through but it seems people living there says it’s warm. In addition, the land seems to be surrounding by mysterious fog and rough seas most of the times which makes it look like the land is moving

[Alucard]

Ancient Isles:

1. The Catacombs
The place where the god from old was buried, and from where he returned.

2. The ruins of Ruin
A strange mountain cave is the entrance to a very large system of rooms and hallways, each hiding artifacts that are powerful and dangerous. A system that invites the greedy and traps them there forever.

3. Eterpe
The largest city and capital of the region. The eternally damned used to roam the streets, slowly and lifelessly. As if every day was the same as the last. Now, the flow of time has changed and while nobody can truly explain what happened, everyone remembers how it felt. The city is old, the technology dated but the artifacts have allowed the citizens to become powerful nonetheless. It might one day look modern, but the rat-infested streets and poor inhabitants have a long way to go.

4. Ritual grounds
The god of old demands sacrifices. A large alter was built and every year every citizen of the ancient isles travels here for the official ritual, followed by the feast. It is the only day the citizens may feel genuine happiness. Time had been stuck on this day for decades.

5. The Clock Tower
A massive clock tower sits within the barren wastelands of the region for seemingly no reason. When it bongs, most of the ancient isles can hear. Sometimes it can be heard as if the bongs are separated by seconds, sometimes it sits there for years. A massive amount of energy is emanating from it and despite everything, it seems to be in perfect condition. It is the greatest artifact the isles have to offer, yet no outsider has ever had the pleasure of investigating it.

6. The fallen statue
Half of what used to be a stone statue of the god is left, with vines and other greenery slowly turning it into part of the wastelands. A smaller piece of statue can be seen next to it, which looks like some kind of bear plushie.

7. The trials
A special city has been built on the premise of (un)fair punishment of those who have sinned against the ruler. All are invited, many are forced, to keep this place running. To execute on demand and perform other kinds of punishment. The grand trial room is kept in-tact and above all else, looks out of place in the ancient isles as it is the grandest, most beautiful room to have been created. It is eternally changing and has a look that does not resemble the medieval times but reminds one of the way to the future. If you have a future.

8. Execution grounds
Every trial needs a punishment. It is impossible for nobody to serve as the scapegoat, even if the culprit was never found. As if the god feels pleasure watching his citizens squirm knowing they might be randomly chosen to serve as the scapegoat because of one's wrongdoings. The very idea of leaving the isles fills the inhabitants with despair, knowing many will suffer and be executed as a response to this choice. It was not during his absence that they could leave, for time did not let them. It was not during his reign for the god himself would not let them. Only now, can they finally leave. And many grab the opportunity with open arms

[Alucard]

Aquatic Ocean:
Now landmarks are incredibly difficult in an area with nothing but Ocean. You wouldn't see them if they even existed. If they did exist AND you could see them, you wouldn't know where to look in the vast body of water that surrounds the DRG lands. Underwater, who knows what might be going on. But since nobody found it, you won't be finding it on the map. If it exists at all.


Forgotten Sanctuary:

. . .
