Toran Lake Castle This castle was originally the Scarlet Moon Empire's naval base before Shasarazade was built. The castle was abandoned after the move, and lake pirates repeatedly claimed it as their hideout, but each time they were chased out by the Imperial Navy. However, because pirates always returned, Sonya Shulen summoned a zombie dragon and let it loose in the castle, which served its purpose by keeping pirates out (or by eating them).	2	26	Jan 10 2007, 12:03 PM In: The Alliance By: Ferid

Scarleticia Castle Built in IS 370, Scarleticia Castle was originally built as a frontline against Jowston. However, it's role as a frontline fortress ended after Moravia Castle was built. After that, this castle has become the traditional base of generals assigned to rule the Kunan area. Due to its relative safety, Scarleticia has become a bureaucratic center of Toran second to Gregminster. Since Milich Oppenheimer was assigned to govern Kunan, he has modified the castle to match his aesthetic taste. Milich has invited many artists in the region to be artists in residence at his castle.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:

Warriors Village The Warrior's Village was established by Klift the Paladin in IS 20. The villagers all claim to be descendants of Klift, and all men of the village are warriors.

Klift himself is known in history as the only one who fought against Hikusaak of Harmonia to the end, and ultimately defended Lorimar from Harmonia.

Due to this magic and the Scarlet Moon Empire's policy of keeping the Great Forest a secret, common people did not know of the existence of dwarves, elves, and kobolds.

Village of the Dwarves The short but hardy dwarves live in this village. Due to the altitude, the area is pretty cold. The dwarves mine various ores from the mountains surrounding the area and use these to forge metals and metal works. The Dwarves make a living by trading these with Elves and Kobolds, but the trading itself is usually done by the few humans that live in the Great Forest. The dwarves also made armor and weapons from the abundant iron ore and sold them to the Scarlet Moon Empire. Thus, much of the strength of the Imperial Army could be credited to the superior arms forged by the dwarves. There are many famous craftsmen in dwarven history, but the most famous is Dowango (IS 205-346). He was an expert as silver smithing, and the "silver feather" that he made is said to have floated in mid-air. The architecture in this village is unique, featuring a curved, circular roof with designs, and the house itself is cylindrical with round glass windows.	0	0	-- In: ---- By:
