• The Lands
  
  • Hodei Mount
    

    Meaning "cloud," Hodei Mount is the largest mount around, other than the Hourig Volcano of course. It is the most sacred place in the Vayu territory and is where they worship the Ancients. It is said that at the top is where the Ancients' homes are.

    
    
    • Miku Caves
      

      Meaning "beautiful sky" and "long time," the Miku Caves extend far into Hodei Mount. The entrance to the caves is large and gives a wonderful view of the sky. The only way to get into the caves, however, is to fly or by the secret entrance at the base of the mount.

    
    
  • Swati Mountains
    

    Named after the third brightest star in the sky, the Swati Mountain range extends along the Vayu territory. The tallest peaks are covered in snow all year round and salt patches scatter the edges of the mountains. Deep valleys create secret passages through the mountains as well.

    
    
    • Haneul Tunnels
      

      Meaning "heaven" or "sky," the Haneul Tunnels extend all throughout the mountain range and occasionally leads to a dead end. Entrances are scattered throughout the range and the tunnels twist and turn constantly.

    
    
  • Aditi Forest
    

    Meaning "boundless" or "freedom," the Aditi Forest is the largest forest in Khudshid. It is lush in some places and sparse in others. However, it is green all year round and has a beautiful river runs through it.

    
    
    • Araceli River
      

      Meaning "altar of the sky," the Araceli River is the largest river and flows throughout the forest. Streams and brooks branch off of it and spreads the water throughout the forested areas. It is said that it heals any wound and great mysteries surround it.
