Usually translated as the magic manor or the magic headquarters. Currently, the manor serves as a home for all 21 wizards and the Sage. Cock Robin and Kanaria may also reside here--it's unclear if they live in the manor or travel in each day. The manor is located in Central Country.

The manor is equipped with all sorts of amenities--enough bedrooms for everyone to have one to themself, a bar that Shylock keeps fully stocked, an extensive library, an alchemy lab, a cafeteria-grade kitchen, a dining hall, and a courtyard with a fountain are all present. The baths seem to be communal, though the number of them is uncertain. Kanaria works hard cooking and cleaning to ensure that the Sage and the wizards' lives are comfortable.

The manor has a magical elevator which allows its residents to travel to the towers of each country in an instant.

It's actually unusual for all of the Sage's wizards to be living in the manor--with the previous Sage, only a handful of wizards stuck around for any length of time. Mostly, the wizards only congregated at the manor in the few days leading up to the yearly battle against the Great Calamity. They'd all celebrate and have a feast in preparation each year. For the rest of the year, the Sage was more or less on their own.

Also translated as "Oz's claw marks." A deep ravine in the Central countryside. It's claimed that it was made by Oz, but whether that's true is... debatable. Lots of landmarks throughout the world bear Oz's name, whether they have any relation to him or not--such is his legendary status among humans. A monument was built to Oz on the site, depicting him as a giant lizard. Residents who gather here will tell you folklore if you ask, but it's not always free.

Beyond its connection to Oz, the area apparently has good-quality springwater. The ravine allows for a great view of subsurface geological structures, if you can brave the cliffside and climb down. I wonder what the geology is like in mahoyaku's world...

The seat of government of Central Country. The Granvelle dynasty has ruled Central Country for around 400 years. The castle is open to the public on holidays so that everyone can visit, and they even hand out souvenirs! The king and queen, as well as princes Arthur and Vincent, live and work here. Granvelle Castle often hosts diplomatic events attended by all five countries. The castle and its surrounding city are a quick flight away from the Sage's Manor.

The castle is home to many paintings of key figures of the kingdom's history, including the founder of the Granvelle dynasty, Alec. It also has a variety of books on all subjects, but especially national history. They also employ skilled tutors: the tutor who taught Arthur as a child was the subject of Central Rhapsody.

The castle is surrounded by a bustling city with a marketplace that sells goods traded from all over the continent. A few of the wizards in the manor sell sugar to shops in the city. One confectioner like this was the subject of the 2020 White Day story.

A provincial town in Central Country. Beautiful rivers run through it, allowing trade from all over. The streets are lined with food stalls. The people of this city are known for all the dancing and celebrating they do--even the lobsters in the river like to dance. The people are outgoing and sociable, to the point of being overwhelming if you're not used to it. Cain was born and raised here.

The legend of the city's founding says that a great swordsman slayed a pair of giant serpents with a sword bestowed on him by a wizard, and then buried those serpents at the town's perimeter. Every year, they hold a festival to honor this history. Thanks to the legend, the tradition of swordsmanship is strong in the city.

Another festival held each year is one to pray for a blossoming cornucopia of harvests, and the blossoming of relationships. This festival was the subject of the 2021 Valentine's story.

Also translated as the famous ruins. An archaeological site in the wilderness of southern Central Country. It holds the ruins of what was once a castle home to a king 2,000 years ago. The area is filled with collapsed star stones, shards of a star that fell to the ground. These shards have a peculiar placating effect on wizards, except for Riquet, who seems to be immune. (That's not necessarily a good thing, though...)

Because of this effect, many wizards flying over the site suddenly become unable to fly and perish. The collapsed star stones cause wizards to become relaxed, playful, and uninhibited... basically, it's wizard catnip. Like catnip with cats, the stones can have different effects on different wizards. Here's a few:

• Arthur shows off impressive spells (and asks for praise)
• Cain and Rutile excitedly fly all over the place on their brooms
• Chloe talks a blue streak
• Nero starts to unconsciously hold the Sage's hand
• Murr gets engrossed in a single topic for days on end (not that that's any different than normal...)
• Faust gets giggly
• And my personal favorite: Mitile just straight up starts biting people

A forest in the North found outside the Town of Ice. This was where Snow killed White. The colorful gems that grow from tree trunks here are used by Snow and White in stained glass. There are few humans or beasts who dare to venture into its harsh cold, so the snow-covered trees stand in complete silence.

Naturally, Northern wizards like to have snowball fights, build igloos, and go for sleigh rides here.

The afterglow lilies that grow here are used in festivals in the Town of Ice. This was the subject of North Rhapsody.

A town in the North under Snow and White's protection. The inhabitants are obedient to the twins. Stained glass windows cover the houses. Mercia fruit, which the twins grow wherever they settle, grows here. The twins' mansion, which holds both wonders and horrors after accumulating millenia of interesting finds, isn't far from the town.

The festival for the dead which the residents hold was the subject of North Rhapsody.

A lake named for the long tradition of bringing bodies to the islands at its center. Mithra grew up here as a ferryman for corpses, surrounded by frozen bones. The water is clear, but the climate of the area is harsh and the settlements on the shore of the lake are often completely destroyed. The lake is filled with fish and a species of oyster which produces beautiful pearls.

A forest filled with a noxious gas that makes any who breathe it succumb to deep dreams from which they never awake. Those who are near death come to the forest to see pleasant dreams as they die. Owen likes coming here.

The gas here is what caused the Sage to dream of the Paradox Roid event story.

A cave system that used to be a safehouse for Bradley's gang. The walls are covered with murals of history, and it's said that you can hear voices from times long past. The cave is also filled with bats. Stardust sugar and other treasures can be collected here.

A valley made impassable by storms. The spirits here are strong, so many unexplainable phenomena occur here. Many Eastern wizards, including Faust, live quietly here where they won't be disturbed. The valley is full of natural resources, such as tree syrup and storm salt.

A forest which covers most of Blanchett land. It's all but impossible to navigate without a guide. Shino currently serves as that guide. He also hunts the animals that live here.

Location story here. Sub-episodes here.

The stronghold of the Blanchett family, a noble Eastern house. The castle and the family that reside in it have a long history for multiple reasons: Sherwood forest serves as a natural barrier, and many great Eastern craftsmen live and work on its grounds. Elegant furniture, mechanical dolls, and clockwork machinery are just a few of the works that these crafstmen are known for.

Despite the gentle nature of the current head of the Blanchett house, it's still a rule that servants who work on the grounds can't enter the castle proper.

Near the castle, there's a small greenhouse that was once an orangery. Heathcliff's relationship to this orangery was the subject of East Rhapsody.

Location story here. Sub-episodes here.

The capital city of Eastern Country. Known for its excessive, byzantine legal system. Outsiders find it oppressive, but those who live here appreciate the predictable structure it gives to their lives. The people of the city are quiet and serious, but kind.

Nero used to have his restaurant here. Per the laws, idle conversation is only allowed in places where it's expressly permitted--Nero's restaurant was one of these places. Nero pretended to be a human while running to to avoid the persecution that wizards experience in the East. His restaurant also had an herb garden, which seems to still be in place. Every few years, Nero would move shop so that humans didn't catch on that he wasn't aging.

Shylock's bar, in operation for hundreds of years. He serves exclusively wizards. Western wizards are the usual clientele, but travelers from all over have visited, including Figaro, Snow and White, Lennox, Mithra, and, previously, Tiletta. The bar has always been a favorite of Murr's. He even has his own designated couch there.

The bar is located in the entertainment district of the Town of Nectar, a seaside resort town (sometimes also translated as the Nectaris Arts District, or red light district). While the view of the coast from the town was once filled with nature, the industrialization of the West has polluted the area. The effect of magical science on the town was the subject of West Rhapsody.

An observatory founded by the philosopher Murr in order to research the Great Calamity and the stars. The books and papers he used in his research can still be found here. Its remote location allows the sky to be seen without light pollution.

A slum town in Western Country. Chloe grew up here. The people of the town are poor and do whatever they can to get by, including conning travelers. Even children here have to work, whether that's as part of the family business or on their own. Despite their hardships, the people of the city are still exuberant Westerners at heart, and this combination of factors makes them incredibly resourceful.

Since the Western government basically ignores the town, it's a dangerous place to be. The most respected and feared individuals aren't city officials, but rather the leaders of local organized crime. Gambling is a common pastime here.

Also translated as the City of Affluence or City of Wealth. The capital city of Western Country. Rustica seems to be from here--at the very least, its central bank is where he keeps his seemingly-infinite funds. The city is the center of the Western aristocracy, and is known for having all manner of high-end entertainment, from theaters, to casinos, to musical performances, to any kind of eccentric shop you could dream of.

Also translated as the Marsh of Epidemics. Tropical wetlands full of wildlife. In the past, a great plague originated here, but it was eliminated by Figaro. It's now a tropical paradise hardly befitting of its name. The flora here includes many kinds of rare and valuable fruits and herbs. Both humans and wizards happily live in the area and continue to maintain it.

A beautiful lake in the Southern Country. It formed in a crater left by a meteor impact--shards of the meteor can still be found in the lake. It's famous for is brilliantly still, mirror-like surface. The poem "Lake of the Stars" was written about this spot, and is beloved across all countries. The lake remains an inspiration to artists of all kinds. Rutile and Mitile's parents met and fell in love here.

A mountain range near the Town of Clouds. Families in the area live pastoralist lives and work together closely. Lennox climbs the mountains with his herd of sheep every year to graze in the summer.

Location story here. Some sub-episodes here.

The largest town in Southern Country. Rutile and Mitile were born here. It might be the biggest town in the South, but that isn't saying much--it's still a quiet little village by any other country's standards. The people of the city are friendly and kind to all, including wizards. The people live a communal existence and all help each other out, whether that's getting the whole town together to work the fields at harvest time, or local wizards banding together to push away a tornado (a common occurrence in the area).

Rutile's school is near the town. Also nearby is Lake Russell, where Figaro's clinic is located. Figaro's clinic was the subject of South Rhapsody.
