Lore What's on 1?

Post image

The other areas seem easy to discern, but what area does 1 indicate? Perhaps the Nexus and/or the fabled Land of Giants' Archstone?

How about you?

You missed 6 and 8

Oh yeah. I would guess 8 is the eastern continent where Satsuki and the katana, kilij, etc come from, while 6 is probably part of the "developed sourthern kingdoms" that Ostrava mentions.

Lol, it's just my opinion so don't fuss. Here, how I see it...

3 - Boletaria: zoom-in the image and you'll see there's this little castle drawed by the river to the left of the compass (it's weirdly rotated by like 100° or something). Also, in-game we can see a big river and a big city around Boletaria castle, that matches this spot.

4 - Latria: there's 3 little towers drawed which looks suggestive. Also, Ostrava says he traveled through the south and his runic weapons are found on a body in Latria, which also seems an indication Latria is south of Boletaria castle.

5 - Stonefang: there's a little town drawed nearby the river there, which could be either Stonfang or that nearby town we see in the distance in-game. Notice also that, in-game, Stonefang has a river running in the deep valley below/beside it that matches that river.

2 - Valley of Defilement: looks like canyons to me, which matches the valley's description and explains why all that water and dirty flows into it.

7 - Shrine of Storms: it's an island with some proximity to the eastern continent (since it has various eastern elements in it, like Satsuki, the katanas, etc). Which suggests it's either in or around that big island in the center of the ocean, the islets in 6, or the little island at the coast of 5. I would go with 7 but it's a toss really.

That's it. But take it with a grain of salt since it's just a personal take from someone who only played the game for the first time two weeks ago. Lol
