A solitary mountain that rises high into the sky over the fields of blood below. Kigan no Ken marks the boundary of the plain of despair. The legends say it was used to kill a monster.

The Dragon’s Backbone are fertile mountain terraces in the Funkazan mountains that look as though they might have been formed from the scales of the Everserpent itself. The colors of the dragon’s backbone change with the seasons.

Ikiteirumizu is a mountaintop lake which seems to burn under the moonlight.

The Hātokawa is a great channel that divides several islands from the mainland. Its famously unquiet waters are sacred to the Aranami, for it connects them to their ancient home.

This sea cave gleams with blue ice, is a twisting underground labyrinth, and is said to retain the spirits of those who speak within. None of that stops the Aranami smugglers.

The churning waters of the Hatogawa are the spiritual origins of the Aranami. At the mouth of the river, the faces of the Clan’s ancient founders gaze at one another for all eternity.

At the center of the maze of blossoms, Kashinsha, the Blossom Temple, sits among the blooms. It offers a place of respite for the weary, and many seek out the maze at the hope of remaining in the temple.

This cavern is frequented by the Aranami, who use it for smuggling. Within the twisting cave networks, carved stone pillars make the wind howl in strange tunes.
