This page contains information about the various cities and continents that Ascending Heaven roams about in. Their headquarters is currently in the city of Jonquil, located on the western continent.

Western Continent | Eastern Continent | Southern Continent | Northern Continent | The Islands


Western Continent

  • Population:
  • Cities: Jonquil, Deadwood, Marylhurst, Zigzag, Terrebonne, Brightwood, Geribaldi, Rickreall
  • Specialty:

Oozing over the center and the west, this is the largest continent. It is home to the largest cities in the world, including Jonquil and Terrebonne.

Brightwood

  • Population:
  • Country: Western Continent
  • Specialty:

Brightwood is located on the eastern side of the continent. There is a large amount of laboratories and other scientific work done here.

Geribaldi

  • Population:
  • Country: Western Continent
  • Specialty:

Geribaldi is located on a southern tip of the wetern continent. It is rich and is the resort town of the wealthy. It has beautiful beaches, high class shopping and resturants, and brilliant casinos unlike any other in the world.

Behind the glamour and decadence, the true side of Geribaldi shows through.

Marylhurst

  • Population:
  • Country: Western
  • Specialty:

Set in the mid range mountains, Marylhurst was isolated for long periods of time through out it's history. It is a deeply religious town, with old traditions and mysterious links to the past.

Rickreall

  • Population:
  • Country: Western Continent
  • Specialty:

Rickreall is a small mining town on the far west side of the continent. There is an abundance of natural resources here, but the constant wind and odd noises and happenings prevented Rickreall from growing larger than it is now. With the many unusual metals found only here, many of the best armors are here as well- and the blacksmithing trade is stong here.

Terrebonne

  • Population: 1,117,500
  • Country: Western Continent
  • Specialty: Location of S & E

Terrebonne is the rival of Jonquil on the Western Continent. It is also the home of S & E. The two cities have a long and violent history with each other.

It is nearly an equal with Jonquil in decadence, size and power.

Zigzag

  • Population: Unknown
  • Country: Western Continent

People are strange here. Outsiders are not welcome.

Deadwood

  • Population: 17,200
  • Country: Western Continent
  • Specialty: Trade, Tourism

Deadwood is a small city that people tend to pass through on their way to somewhere else. There is a small amount of trade dedicated to this flow of people thru the town, so there are some small merchants and inns here- and a few suprisingly decent resturants.

Eastern Continent

  • Population:
  • Country: Nippon
  • Cities: Heian-kyo

Nippon is a far away and mysterious country. There are few from there that ever come to the western continent. The capital city is Heian-Kyo.

While Nippon is far, rumors of their various underground organizations still circulate around Jonquil and the west. Some believe that the old Telari faction had ties with them.

Heian-Kyo

  • Population: Unknown
  • Country: Eastern Continent

Heian-Kyo is the capital of Nippon, the eastern continent. Little is known about the capital city, since little is known about Nippon itself. It does seem to be able to rival Jonquil and Terrebonne, but the citizens seem more interested in other things.

Southern Continent

  • Population:
  • Cities: Wamic, Nyssa
  • Specialty:

The Southern lands are warm and lush with greenery. But underneath the flowers there are hidden secrets that are not meant to be found. While the southern continent is beautiful, there are many mysterious and deadly places within it.

On of these mysterious places is the large desert that emerges from the jungle and spreads out to the ocean on the western half of the continent. No one is known to have returned from exploring the center of the desert.

Nyssa

  • Population:
  • Country: Southern
  • Specialty:

Nyssa is the capital of the Southern Continent.

Wamic

  • Population:
  • Country: Southern Continent

Wamic is the closest city to the great southern desert. The inhabitants do not stray there often, since there are many legends and myths about strange creatures and beings that live there. The residents have seen many brave adventurers leave to explore the desert only to be lost forever.

Northern Continent

  • Population:
  • Cities: Ukiah
  • Specialty:

The north is the land of snow and cold. It is a harsh and unforgiving place- and the people there have grown similar to their homeland.

Ukiah

  • Population:
  • Country: Northern Continent

Ukiah is the capital of the Northern Continent. It is smaller in size than the other capital cities, but it stands proudly and defiently in the harsh northern winds and cold. The poeple here are mostly decended from the first explorers and long lost vanished peoples of the realm. Many of the old legends thrive here, just beyond the city limits.

Many of the poeple are solitary and hardy, prefering to live on their own away from the city, only coming to the city rarely to get supplies and trade whatever goods they have.

The Islands

  • Population: Unknown
  • City: Unknown

The islands are located to the southeast of the western continent. There is little known about them, except that there once was a great civilization that fell there, long ago. People who have gone to explore the ruins have generally not come back. The few artifacts brought back, or washed up on other shores, point to a strange and slightly disturbing power. There are legends that the great power there is waiting for a new chance to expand in the world again.
