Locations in Tir na Nog

[Murasaki]

Tir na Nog is the true name of the Unfounded Kingdom. Essentially, everything remains the same as it did when the story ended in January 2021.

Along with the Log Out button, there is now an option to Teleport to every Fairy Gate in the area. Because of this, Adventurers can be found in pretty much every city.

Locations will be described in the posts below. Keep in mind this isn't an exhaustive list; make up new locations as you wish!

[Murasaki]

Londinium

Londinium City

The iconic capital city of England and the starting city for essentially all adventurers on the United Kingdom server. Due to the large plant overgrowth over most of the buildings, only a few resemblances of noteworthy buildings would really give one the impression that this city was actually this world's equivalent of London.

Londinium Underground: A long forgotten subway and series of caves located beneath Londinium's St. Pancras Station. They used to be infested with kobolds and other monsters, but now a rail station runs in the area. While Adventurers can teleport between cities, they cannot teleport to individual parts of a city. Therefore, this is is one of the best options to quickly reach the other side of an otherwise large city. It is not safe to travel alone past the explored areas near the entrance, and a party is recommended to venture further.

Old Parliament Building: An old building that is found in the heart of the city. Its inner halls are currently closed for the time being, leaving only the main lobby where players can form guilds and deposit items in the city bank. Many players use it as a common meeting spot to form parties, regardless.

Pattington Station: A Large Station in the heart of Londinium, where business and travel met hand in hand long, long ago. Now, it is being refurbished and recreated to better accomodate not only guild members, but also allow it to be an open station for people to travel to and from. The tracks have been repaired, and bridges made, to allow for train travel to occur throughout the Unfounded Kingdom. Currently, it extends throughout the Windsor Greatwood, the Sarum Frontier, Avon Valley, and the Isle of Grain.

St. Pancras Station: An old train station with railways that no longer function due to extreme corrosion. It has been commandeered by the crafting community to be used as workspace and as a market square. The larger more open spaces house an open factory like work area while the former stores, offices and internal areas have been taken for private shops and workspaces. Many parts of the facility however are in disrepair rendering them unusable and the spaces which are being used aren't in great condition. Perhaps they can be be remodeled?

Westminster Abbey: A large cathedral that overlooks the Parliament Building in the distance. This is where adventurers who have fallen in battle outside the London area revive. It was discovered that the Ancient Cessair Credne the Guardian sealed his power in this building to create a defensive barrier around the city.

---

Windsor Greatwood

The Windsor Greatwood is a large valley that adventurers must cross in order to pass between Londinium and Sarum. Straying off from the main road, it is possible to find lower-leveled hunting areas fit for many beginners.

Savill Flower Grove: The area designated as the Savill Grove seems to have been a carefully maintained flower garden in the past, according to faded paintings found in nearby abandoned building. However, since the Apocalypse, the garden has expanded beyond its boundaries, threatening to engulf the rest of the land. Although this massive flower overgrowth makes for a beautiful landmark, adventurers should be wary of the monsters that occasionally swarm the underbrush.

Windsor Castle Grounds: Even after nature has reclaimed the land, the large structure that is Windsor Castle continues to remain a spectacular memento of the Ancient Times. However, as alluring as this place may be, its surroundings are heavily teeming with monsters and there seems to be no current way to enter the mansion. Only the bravest or the most foolish would dare to venture to this castle.

Thames Coastline

A portion east of Londinium where the Thames River reaches the coastline. It is the primary place of access to the sea, where a number of mysterious and unexplored islands have been spotted along the coast.

Thames Marshland: The river that runs through the main city has also contributed to a variety of marshlands north of the area. It is said that bathing in the water, although smelly and pest-infested, is able to cure diseases. Of course, if you're willing to test that rumor out, you had better travel in a group.

Thames Marshland - Poison Bog: A deeper section of the marshlands with an elevated level of acidity. The monsters found in this area have developed a natural level of immunity to their surroundings.

Isle of Grain: The easternmost part of a peninsula where the Thames River mouth is located. A narrow land bridge is formed between the mainland during the lowest tides of the day. It is a natural estuary that is often used as a harbor and shipping market by Lander merchants.

Grain Village: A small village consisting of generations of Landers living an agrarian lifestyle. It is a nice change of pace from the bustling life of Londinium, allowing Adventurers to truly appreciate the beauty of the new world they've stumbled onto.

Isle of Thule: A mysterious island that suddenly appeared several kilometers east of the Thames River mouth. It is perpetually shrouded in fog and strong currents, making it difficult for anyone to properly land on its shores.

Graveyard of Ships: A large wreckage site bordering the Thule shoreline, filled with hazardously sharp rocks and broken debris from those who were brave or foolish enough to sail to the island. Perhaps you might come across treasure here, but you might also encounter the spirits of those less fortunate...

Temple of Tides: A mysterious temple dungeon found on the Isle of Thule. Depending on the tidal level, parts of the temple have a tendency to become flooded. This, coupled with a fair amount of puzzles and monsters, makes for a truly challenging area to practice combat in a watery environment.

Ultima Thule: The centralmost location of Thule features a sanctuary consisting of a fountain pool of pristine water which glows with a blue light. The most peculiar aspect about this area is that one can breathe even when underwater. While this detail might otherwise make the place a famous landmark, the water is massively deep and it is not known what might lie in the areas where light cannot reach...

Thames Riviera: A quaint little village to the east of the Londinium metropolis. It is situated beside the Thames River mouth that empties out to the sea, and is a short travel from the Isle of Grain. Were you a homeowner in this area before? Maybe the building still stands...?

[Murasaki]

Sarum Frontier

It was discovered that beyond the Windsor Greatwood, there was an open grassland leading toward a single city path. After long weeks of expedition, the Adventurers have gradually mapped out the area and captured the city limits. Since then, they have headed north in search of a new area beyond the highlands.


Sarum

Sarum City: The peaceful city of Sarum, in what is known today as the modern-day site of Salisbury, is a place that has escaped the erosion that befell Londinium. It features a number of classic buildings and beautiful pastures, fit for anyone desiring an agrarian lifestyle. Nevertheless, access to this city is currently blocked by a mysterious barrier. The expedition frontline has reached the city limits.

Old Quarry Caverns: An area in the highlands around Sarum. It appears to be a rock quarry that leads up to a large cavern system. Be sure to mark your way lest you end up lost in its many confusing passageways.

Moon Dance Forest: There's a Japanese village for some reason here in Sarum? Makes as much sense as there being Samurai on this server of course. A forest inside the Sarum region, with a village of Oriental descent in the middle of it. The village is known for its giant glowing orb floating above it, called the Moon Spirit, and the Sakura Tree Spirit that guards it within the Giant Sakura. The surrounding area is well forested, and a streak runs throughout its boarders, ending within a small lake near the east end of the forest. It's been years but maybe some Adventurer houses are still here...?

[Murasaki]

Avon Valley

A city consisting of classic-looking buildings, forming a peaceful hamlet amidst a beautiful riverside valley. This image disguises the fact that it is home to the warden garrisons that patrol the area against the force of Miasma. Current research speculates that the technology that designed the Fairy Gates originated from here.

Stratford

Stratford: Stratford is the premiere city of the Avon District, its buildings remarkably well preserved and maintained. Legend said that a local hero called the Arcane Bard saved the city from the disasters suffered by Londinium during the first World Fraction. Unlike Londinium, it is run by a paramilitary hierarchy that fights against the threat of Miasma seeping from the Dimensional Theater. Outside of its city limits, there are a number of small villages that make their living beside the River Avon.

Dimensional Theatre: A strange indoor structure said to have been created by the Arcane Bard Shakespeare. It functions as the Cathedral and administration hub of the city. During the first Apocalypse, it served as a magical ward that imprisoned monsters and prevented them from overrunning Avon. All sorts of bizarre incidents occur within its boundary.

The River Avon: A riverway that drains out to the western regions of Sarum. A number of smaller unnamed villages dot its perimeter. Due to Sarum having changed into a mountainous terrain in this world, this otherwise calm river may suddenly change to a turbulent rapids-filled stream in an instant. It features the Avon Waterfall, roughly 20 meters high.

Snowdonia Complex: The Snowdonia Mountain Range, a region technically consisting of several hundred mountains spanning over to modern-day Wales. The Snowdonia Complex refers to the mountains closest to Avon, featuring a tranquil snowfield where snowfall can be found at all times of the year. It is also home to a once glorious sports stadium complex nestled on the edge of Avon. It's in quite good condition for how long it was unused. Likely due to a partially caving in dome ceiling. It appears to have facilities to hold a wide variety of events including sports, arena combat and concerts.

Partridge: Up on the hills of Snowdonia is a small mountainside district that enjoys beautiful wintery weather year-round. Due to the everlasting seasonal cheer, its name became the Partridge of the Pear Tree. Known by residents as Partridge for short. If you were once a homeowner here, is your house still decorated in Christmas lights?

Crystal Cavern: A small cave that shines with beautiful colors when sunlight or moonlight strikes the surface of the walls from above. There is a local folk tale from the people of Partridge that the souls of sleeping people sometimes makes their way into this cave, giving it the nickname "Cave of Dreams."

Warwick Castle: A historical medieval castle to the northeast of Avon. Unlike the castle at Windsor, this landmark has generally resisted the influence of the Apocalypse, preventing it from becoming a full-fledged dungeon area. This hasn't deterred malicious spirits from appearing in the castle, however.

Lonsdale Catacombs: A winding subterranean cave. Discovered to be a creation of the Alvs, a race descended from the ancient Fomorians and Tuath. It physically connects the Avon Valley to the Lune Seaport via the Three Nations Pass.

Miasma Realms

The Miasma Realms is an area of roughly 10 square kilometers, compressed into the space of the Dimensional Theater. It was sealed away to prevent the Miasma from spreading. Once the site of the early settlers of Avon, it was a valley struck very heavily by the events of the First Apocalypse. Following the defeat of Cromm Cruach, the power of Miasma in this area is no longer oppressive, but entry into and out of this area is heavily restricted still.

The Lune Seaport

Blue District

Azure Palace: The large circular building within the center of the Blue District. It is the residence of the Blue Princess and also the primary administrative center for all politics and parliament in Lune. On one side of the palace is a huge garden consisting of flora from all around the Unfounded Kingdom. Its perfect and well-maintained appearance give the impression of the Blue District's sheer influence within the city.



Cobalt Harbor: The largest harbor within Lune and a heavily regulated place of commerce. Almost all the ships that enter Lune will eventually dock here; the busiest trade days where ships line up to enter and leave are quite a wonder to see. It's often described as the Strategem of the Blue District for this reason. Spanning around the Cobalt Harbor is a long stretch of coastline where residents and travelers often stop for a nice beachside outing. Naturally, restaurants and souvenir shops galore can be found every step of the way. The southern edge of the harbor extends up to a small hill where a bridge has been erected, forming a path to a nearby peninsula that serves as one of the entrances to the city.



Liverbird Lighthouse: The Liverbird Lighthouse is a tall building that stands at the edge of the Cobalt Harbor, guiding along ships that reach the coastline of Lune. It is marked by a large moonstone statue of two birds perched atop the building. The light at the top of the tower is said to be a magitech relic that shines almost as brightly as the moon in a dark or foggy night. This has given sailors the impression of two moons looking upon their safe arrival.



Fountain of Fate: There is a legend that long ago, the traveling merchant tribes whose descendants would eventually form the leaders of Lune were lost in a barren land. The tribes would eventually find a lone well, and in drinking the water, they reached a clarity where they would have temporarily settled their differences and built a farm together that season to survive. Now that mythical farm is nowhere to be seen, but the legend carries on in this monument. It is a large water fountain that shoots up pre-treated water high into the air, where a rainbow would form and the water would fall down to its basin and start all over again. Much in the spirit of the old legend, it's said that the fountain is one of the few things that brought the districts together, each laying claim to a portion of its commission.

Red District

Redletter Ironworks: The largest industrial subdistrict of Lune, a building and factory complex built from brick and shrouded commonly by a thin layer of smog. It is often described by names such as "the image of reckless innovation" by its environmentalist opponents. Nevertheless, the technology produced within this district grows at an amazing rate every day, as its workers strive toward enriching the district's reputation and influence. This subdistrict is also home to the Maroon Rail Station.



Maroon Rail Station: For quite some time before the Adventurers had even begun to start their research into any form of new technology, the engineers of the Red District had already launched their own train system. The system consists of several ironclad trains that can take one to the other end of the city within about 30 minutes. There are several stations located in each district, with the Maroon Rail Station being the most prominent example.



Ignus Lava Mines: The Red District was built beside a pit of geothermal activity and much of these mines have been mapped out and industrialized. Besides the lava and magma extracted from the pit to use as energy sources, the Lava Mines also happens to be the largest source of Flame Ice, a necessary coolant for many Red District inventions, in possibly the entire Unfounded Kingdom.



Efretti Footstep: It's said that upon the discovery of the Lava Mines, a creature called an Ifrit had emerged from the flames and attempted to raze the settlement. The townspeople banded together and sent forth their strongest Summoners to contain the threat. All that remains of this historical battle are the burned old buildings that still stand to this very day, serving as a reminder of the district's humble beginnings.



Rubicia Hot Springs: It's no surprise that hot springs can be found above the lava pits as geysers shoot out a bubbling mix of groundwater and trapped moisture. The hot springs are a popular tourist destination among all ages. It's said that there is a certain type of monkey species that sticks around the area, so tourists should be wary of their belongings.

Green District

Verdant Park: A beautiful park and garden complex roughly a square kilometer in size, it is one of the most popular meeting places within the Green District for picnics and dates. There is always a weekly farmer's market in the park's main area, where farmers and merchants sell their freshest goods and produce. Most of the area is on fairly level ground, though it has its fair share of hills and inclines. A river runs its way into the park, forming miniature waterfalls as the river makes its way down the slopes. Finally to top off the park, the center of the park features a Ferris Wheel of 25 cars with a max hold of 6 people each. While technology is never really a big aspect of the Green District, this landmark is allegedly one of the cleanest-functioning mechanisms around.



Garden of Paradise: Situated on the largest hills of the Verdant Park is a small set of buildings that was constructed from the surrounding nature. It gives off the impression of a village within a city and the Green Princess is known to live here as she interacts with the local residents.



Jade Crater: Long ago, a meteorite crashed into the tallest point of the Lune area. When residents of the then-small settlement went to investigate, they discovered that the crystalline rock that had struck the ground had made the surrounding land extra fertile thereafter. Today, pieces of the meteorite are still said to be in circulation, but it's said that the majority is still deeply embedded in the ground. Perhaps this legend describes the true source of the Green District's power. Nowadays, the mythical site of the Jade Crater is a large mountainous grove with a pool of fresh water at its peak.

Yellow District

Saffron Studio: One may visit this facility and compare it to the Dimensional Theater in Avon in terms of cultural importance. But where the Dimensional Theater had turned into the sustaining if slightly imposing heart of Avon, the Saffron Studio has branched into the modern arts in order to form a landmark that attracts visitors from all around the city. It is a large theater building decorated with an elaborate golden lion statue at its entrance. Upon entering the facility, one gets the sense that it functions much like an "entertainment mall" or sorts. The building is home to big and small theaters, sports stadiums, an arena, and a museum. Frequently in its halls during the evening, aspiring artists hold an Artist's Alley where one can browse around and shop for amateur artistic works.



Golden Steps of the Muses: A literal yellow brick road, the Yellow District is noted for capturing the essence of their finest artists on this landmark that stretches for about a kilometer. It functions as a "walk of fame" where noteworthy artists would have their handprints and signatures engraved into the pathway for all to see. The Golden Steps is surrounded by a multitude of stores and workshops, many of which were founded or are still run by those very individuals the walkway was designed for. At the end of the walkway is a nine-step stairway which lead up to the Saffron Studio.



Ochre Coliseum: A large battle arena designed for mass battle sports. Combatants from all over the city band together for competitions and exhibition matches. Once a year, the Coliseum holds a grand battle tournament called the Topaz Cup, crowning a Topaz Champion respectively.

Orange District

Coral College: The Orange District's pride, a full-fledged academy where its students pursue the science of physical and magic craft. Enrollment into this facility is open to anyone with a pioneering aptitude, although it's said that the most elite students are on an entirely different level from the common public. The college is situated beside the coastline and steam often rises from the alchemy ovens and mechanical engines placed just outside.



Apricot Apartments: A gated community consisting of apartment complexes serving as a small but safe neighborhood. Many rooms are occupied by students of the Coral College, as it is roughly a few minutes' walk away. Besides the residential areas, this part of the district features small sports courts, a cafeteria, and a public pool. It's often a bustling place of activity especially after the major examination periods, as many an Adventurer may remember from their past world.



Brasstack Plaza: A main plaza within the Orange District where many of its industrial sectors are located. Spires tower all around this shopping district as crafters roam the streets, looking for parts and discussing research plans with their colleagues. It's said that a visit to the plaza for even a few minutes can leave one inspired by the sheer level of enthusiasm from the community.

Violet District

Lavender Atoll: The second-largest seaport in Lune next to the Blue District's, this particular port works as a bazaar for exotic and commerce goods. In comparison to the Cobalt Harbor and its complicated bureaucracy, the Atoll under a "unload and sell" policy. This means that many of the goods circulating in the district may tend to be from questionably legal sources, but they are undoubtedly very sought after by the citizens of Lune.



Orchid Taiga: An island that is mysteriously saturated by the presence of ice mana, causing its coastline to be frozen over most months of the year. It is always blanketed by a soft layer of snow. At the center of this island stands the Heliotrope, a gigantic ice sculpture of a serpent, its snake-like body serving as a staircase toward the ceremonial altar at the top.



Heliotrope: Said to be a guardian beast of the Lune Seaport, it is a large sculpture of a serpent. The crystal statue glows with a radiant light in the evening, bathing the Orchid Taiga in a gentle violet glow. The intricate design of this monument is detailed enough that it seems almost as though it were once a living being.



Vella's Doom: A small island to the northwest of the Violet District, where a horde of pirates had originally held their stronghold. It was recently reclaimed by the district due to the eradication of the enemy brigands. It has a threatening coast, where many a ship has crashed against its jagged crags. It's said that the pirates' embargo was stopped by a brave captain who sailed deep into their territory, challenging their entire fleet and winning.

Black District

The Obsidian Den: A pub in the Black District that serves a delicious menu of snacks and drinks. It is one of the primary social hubs within the area. Underneath the building, there is said to be a secret gambling room where nearly anything can serve as a betting chip. However, this building is noted for a multitude of secret passages, so not even those who wish to crack down on illegal activity know who exactly is handling the business.



Ashen Avenue: Old and rundown buildings which make up the majority of the Black District. They have an appearance similar to Londinium during the first day of the Apocalypse. It is widely known as the slums of Lune and often associated with a higher rate of crime. Despite this, the citizens are a close-knit community who frequently help each other survive the day-to-day routine.



Noire Alley: The Black District contains a lot of alleyways but this particular alleyway is known to be the largest and most prominent due to its positioning about a few dozen meters directly in front of the Obsidian Den. Said to be where shady individuals tend to gather at night, although no one has really gone to find out without for fear of their own safety. Otherwise during the daytime, it has its fair share of local traffic.



Blackpool: A murky pond in the Black District that some sewerwater drains into, creating a deep pool. Other than the composition, the color is strangely clean for such an environment, possibly due to the presence of marine animals that somehow thrive on waste residue.

White District

Ivory Cathedral: A cathedral consisting of a building with a central tower. It is headed by Archbishop Chavasse, the White Apostle of Ideals. According to legend, it is said to be connected to the Spirit Realms, allowing one to interact with the lands of summoned beasts and familiars. This cathedral's appearance is affected by the hearts of its visitors; it's claimed that to those of wicked hearts, many of its doors and hallways appear invisible.



Pearl Cathedral: A large cathedral building with a design resembling a crown. Archbishop Goss, the White Apostle of Truth, manages this building. It is connected to the Dream Realms, said to function as a observatory of a parallel world. The interior decorations of this cathedral seem unusually modern by Lander technology and tradition, as though it were influenced heavily by the Adventurers' home world.



Marble Valley: A large field named because of the white flowers that dot the region. Small homes and establishments are found within the valley, forming a quaint country life away from the bustling nature of the city.



The White Room: Officially called by the simple name of Lune Penitentiary, this unassuming large building resembling a square white cube is actually a prison that holds some of the more dangerous criminals in Lune. The Royal Guards of the city primarily have rotations here. Due to the appearance of this building, it is often a common term of speech to say that a captured criminal has "gone to the White Room".

Scotia

Scotland Territory

A mysterious land geographically in the real world equivalence of Scotland.

The Shifting Sands: Where was once a verdant land, the water has since dwindled, leaving only a desert and a large lake remaining. The oasis is the base for expeditions and merchant stopping points. The Stopped Sands is a desert called so for the mirages that trap many a traveler into a deadly fate for all eternity. Every so often, one may pass a unnaturally lifelike statue of an individual with a horrific expression.

Fallen Sky: Thousands of islands used to float in the sky, forming what would otherwise have been an inaccessible land were it not for airship technology. Most of the islands used to consist of earth and forests. However, the magic that kept these islands floating have dispersed, leaving most collapsed in their descent back down. In the few years since their first discovery, the land has reclaimed much of the earth and now there is a reputable forest in this area.

Classics Fairy Gate

Not satisfied with its present-day appearance? Adventurers discovered a Fairy Gate that will take you back to the time of the Scotland Expeditions. Don't ask why you can time travel, let's say it's a parallel universe.

The Tyrant's Curse: A dungeon located in Inverness, known to be one of the most difficult dungeons before it was solved (by awakening an ancient god of monsters, no big deal). It appears as a haunted castle which looks straight out of Macbeth. Perhaps you may be up to the challenge now as a Level 100 party.
