The Rythmns of the West...
Just as the east is most bound to the traditions to the lands, west is the complete opposite. It's here where trends and stars are born, where dreams are to become true and real. Westen is home to the two biggest cities next to the Circle, with a handful of smaller towns scattered across the land. The vast majority of that consists of swamps and thick, jungle-like forests. It's advised to stay clear of them, since most of them habour unknown dangers, and it is easy to get lost in those woods...

Tellaru (city)
Next to the Circle, it's the biggest city in Nio. It offers a variety of boutiques, shops and cafés. Most Foolings who move here are seeking to make something out of them, and try to shake the chains of traditions from them. Barely any temples are located here, excessiveness is at home here.
Wesolis (city)
A city at the borders of the swampsland. There are good cuisines there, and it's generally a more quiet place compared to the other cities of Westen. Foolings who live here are usually drawn to the well known medicine school, training to become a fullfledged healer.
Sumpflied
The Swamp, located in the north-western parts of Westen. There are many smaller lakes within it's depth, but most of them are unmapped, since it's rare that a creature will try to venture out into it's thickets. However, many flowers and flora in these woods are (albeit very dangerous) very important for the healers in these lands. Many of those cure sicknesses which otherwise could turn out to be life-threatening.
Tiefensee
A deep lake of turquoise color, said to have healing qualities. Popular spa place for the sick to travel to.
The Temple of Laar
The Temple of Laar is said to be once home to an ancient and great deity of death. Its location is unknown, but old travel notes claim that it's a structure made completely out of the bones of the deities guardians. It is also said that this place is haunted by the soul of the now forgotten deity. It's an urban legend so to say, but don't all legends have a simple kernel of truth in them?
M I N U Z U
Westen's landlord
The most carefree of the four Landlords, and also often found lingering in Tellaru. Instead of a temple, he lives in a skyscrape which is home to many different fashion shops and designer studios. He have a very outgoing personality, and detests the old ways of living. His deity form is that of a dragon, his element is water.
