The Secrets of the East...
In the far East of Nio, you find Osten, a nation deeply rooted in tradition. It is here where the first Foolings were created, according to legends, and it's also the place where ill-wishing Fantasmas roam the woods. Osten does not have a capital, though myriad smaller villages and towns are scattered throughout the land.

The largest village, located in the middle of the nation. Many temples are located here, and it's well known for it's seasonal festivities.
Pisackru (city)
A small village that's very spiritual, and home to the temple of Neomai. Located just at the soutern border to the Wildwoods, it's scarcley visited by tourists. The only means of entering it is by joining one of the hunter guilds that's located here.

Neomai often uses the form of a bear and a stag. They favor traditions above all, and are a gentle yet loving protector of the lands. Their temple is close to the Wildwoods.
