圣島 — The mythical holy island Xanadu was formerly located in Earth's stratosphere and was comprised of several floating islands collectively known as the Heptacim. Home to worshipers of an omnipotent diety named the Emperor, the main subject of a religion recorded as Iyrinism. Descendants of the First People, they formed a isolationist theocratic society dedicated to the preservation of their beliefs- and in return, the celestial beings blessed them with 'magic', referred to as henosis in their scriptures. After the Iyrinian iconoclasm and subsequent civil war, Xanadu crashed into the Earth's surface in ████, causing the permanent arcanification of the planet

東大洲 — The Great Eastern Continent, existing within an arcanically corrected 'gap' of the Asian continent. This barrier shattered during the Crash of Xanadu. Traditional, yet extravagant, a magical mosiac of culture and peaceful co-existence between the humans and the supernatural. Their origins stem from the remnants of the First People left behind by ascenders to the holy land. Rejecting anything against the natural order, enrichment of the self through one's own means are highly valued here. 'Magic' is referred to as stream paths and taote, and are studied intensively by cultivators.

西大州 — The Great Western Continent. Formerly known as Europe, the Crash of Xanadu caused a mass shift in land and the destruction of established culture. Governance depends on different communities, with democratic and technocratic societies being the most common. Laddened with dungeons ripe for exploration filled with artifacts and machinery. Most citizens abhor religion, and prefer the safety and ingenuity of arcane inventions. 'Magic' is strictly referred to as arcanics.
