Ranzaar

Ranzaar is a region high up in the mountains, where snow covers everything.

Due to the constant winter and harsh environment there is little development in Ranzaar.

Even so, it provides a sanctuary for the dolotai guardians who have their old camp in the area surrounding the only daoka that leads to Shamazaar.

Shamazaar

Shamazaar is a region of temples and riss. It produces the majority of food on Adelpha thanks to its fields of rich, fertile soil.

Its geography is characterised by the stepped hillsides of “terraced” rice farming, with rocky out-croppings and the four essence temples darted across the landscape. The temples themselves are large stone structures, they are places of worship but also serve as landmarks amongst the vast fields.

A small village lies in the south east of the region, its mostly inhabited by farmers and contains the daoka to Talanzaar. The daoka from Ranzaar rests in a pool of water to the southwest and there is a ventilope training camp in the northeast. The temple of the Fae essence dominates the center of the region and houses the two remaining daokas that lead to Motazaar and Okasankaar.

Talanzaar

Talanzaar is a vast desert with sand dunes as far as the eye can see. Situated in the middle of this dry, arid region is the city of Okriana, the cultural and creative heart of Adelpha.

Okriana is a hub of trade and production, the streets are full of market stalls selling imported food and the finely crafted works of the eluee talan who inhabit the city. It is the only large city on Adelpha and is divided into several districts called ”boks”, in which different goods and services are offered. In the centre of Okriana stood the big palace of Faé Rhan before it was destroyed during the original game. Spread out around the edge of the city you’ll find daokas to Shamazaar, Motazaar and Okasankaar.

Historically, Talanzaar was a forested region but climate change has reduced it to a barren desert, the city of Okriana itself was built on the foundations of an ancient talan city that was supposedly much greater than the current settlement. Sand storms regularly deposit sand on the city which has to constantly be removed to stop Okriana from being buried again, it is also surrounded by a high wall to protect the city against the sand.

Motazaar

Motazaar is a region of high geological activity, red mountain peaks punctuate the skyline while lava flows in deep crevasses below the surface.

It is mostly composed of dry, rocky terrain and few plants manage to grow here, yet it has an abundance of natural resources in the form of metals and helidium. With mines and heavy processing machinery, Motazaar is the best example of talan industrial efforts.

Travel through the region is hazardous due to the crevasses and narrow tracks that pass through them, ventilopes are often used to transport supplies because of the danger. In the west there is a settlement inhabited by gandha talan who work this hard land for its resources, other than a few other stuctures that were used by Faé Rhan’s soldiers, the south is mostly deserted. To the east lies the daokas to Talanzaar and Shamazaar, and to the north is a large area of volcanic terrain, which Faé Rhan also used as a prison.

Okasankaar

The region of Okasankaar is almost completely covered in water, the landscape of the area slowly rises up to a central plane, on the north-west edge of this plane stands the city of Cyana.

Cyana is the only settlement in adelpha that is close to open water. Its docks are used mostly by the fishing boats of the talan who live there but it is also the only way to reach the outer islands in this region.

The holy darosham was built in this region, as well as the only prison of Talan culture, Zorkatraz, which was built in the water. The daoka to Okriana is located near the city, the one to Shamazaar is further out on the plane, further still is the only daoka that leads to Okaar.

Okaar

The dense forest of Okaar is the most mysterious and unexplored region of Adelpha, inhabited by the Oogoobar, a tribal society of primative talan, forgotten by the rest of the world.

Ancient ruined stuctures can be found in this region such as the heaven’s daoka, suggesting that this used to be an area of high activity. There are many legends about its history.

Kizaar

And then there is the region of Kizaar. An island on the sea, where all female Talans and Talan children live.
