Tartarus Under governance of Admiral Ultan, Tartarus is to the east of Tellus along the coast of the Gaian mainland. It is a port city and notorious for gambling, prostitution, piracy, and all other things found distasteful amongst Gaian high society. Tartarus is home to over half a million citizens and houses 2,000 soldiers.
Tellus Home to 5,000 soldiers and one million citizens. Tellus is situated on a fifty square mile island at the very center of Gaia’s mainland, with the river Skamandros flowing widely around its sides. Tellus is the seat of the High Council, and thus home to Gaia’s most prominent citizens.
Themis Deemed the center of law and order for Gaia. Themis is almost the exact opposite of Tartarus. It boasts a population of 600,000 and houses 2,000 soldiers patrolling impeccable streets night and day.
Typhon Another port city for Gaia, Typhon has been focusing on ways to extend their ships’ traveling distance for generations. Their main concern is to the west and what lands might possibly lie in that direction. Given their placement on the Gaian mainland, they only trade with other Gaian ports. Typhon houses roughly half a million citizens, 2,000 of them soldiers.
Vulcan Among 600,000 other citizens, Vulcan is notorious as being home to Ferrer, the man who discovered and has perfected the knowledge of steelmaking. Vulcan houses 2,000 soldiers.
