Bad Render of Region
CRESENT ISLAND
A compound that is a small city all to itself, this is where most of the information and paper pushing for the league is done. This is also where the Grand Finals of the League will be held in their currently under construction Battle Dome.
* West Crest
The western side of the island is less inhabited and wild it has one of the largest ranches in the region. Along with one of the most famous Apricon Groves and Smiths. The area also has some of the most extensive seacaves in the region.
East Crest
This city is home to the largest volume of humans on the island. This is the main enterence to the island from the mainland and CorsalaReef. This city has a direct path to league HQ from the port, it is said that the summer royal palace was once located near.
SALT MIRE
A huge estuary, formed when the limestone of the area was eaten away. The Mire is covered with gnarled roots and murky water. Rumors of some sort of phantom or spirit lurking inside and protecting it have been around for generations, but research has attributed this as local superstition and folk lore. Most passage through the swamp is done via fan-boat, though a brave few travel on foot.
A city situated among the swamp like conditions of the Salt Mire. It is on one of the few areas above sea level. The people that live here are a hardy bunch, surviving the harsh living conditions; the rich soil of the mire lets them farm on their patch of lands and sell it to other cities as fertilizer. The rich diversity of life in the mire also attracts many researchers to learn more about marsh Pokémon.
Conferni Forest
The forest is a very dense evergreen forest that starts at the lower incline of the Titan’s Teeth mountain range. It stretches along the mountain even bridging the gap between it and the ocean on the far west. The closer it goes to the sea the more shrublike the foliage becomes. A deforestation effort was planned, but made little progress. The density of the forest, along with the active fighting and ferocity of the Pokémon living there, prohibited it. The forest is mostly temperate but gets quite cold in the upper reaches during nightfall.
A logging town that boomed several years ago. It acts as a base camp for those crossing the Titan’s Teeth and became the producer of most of the lumber of the country. The people there guard their logging and carpentry secrets jealously. Its architecture is made of wood from surrounding trees, but several of the oldest buildings are made of stone, though no rock quarry can be found for several hundred miles.
Titan’s Teeth
The great mountain range that splits the country almost in half. It rings a great desert, Titan’s Maw/Mouth. The mountains are craggy with very little life on them other than some mossy terraces and shrubby trees. Very few people live among the heights but they are not unheard of. Many of the families were former residents of Deadwood who fled during the Insurrection. Most of them use their knowledge of the mountains for their livelihood, offering their assistance in taking travelers through the safest pass through the mountains.
Titan’s Maw/Mouth
The great crag ringed mountain. Named after great beasts of old power, the desert is more aptly called a dusty sandy plain than a traditional desert. All the same, those who take it lightly will perish. There are many hidden water sources, along with several oases hidden throughout the range. It is known that two family of Pokémon have been fighting territory wars all over the range for quite some time, though the actual species involved is still unconfirmed.
The only human city actually in the Titans Mouth, the only thing that makes it possible is the great oasis at its heart. The legend goes that the first people passed it by, thinking it nothing more than a mirage. But one child cried out and ran to it, drinking their fill. And so did the caravan survive on the hopes of a child. It is famous for its glass blowers and artisans along with many rare minerals and plants, valued for their medicinal properties.
It is said that those who damned the oasis as a mirage moved on to settle Sandport city, a bustling desert metropolis famous for its vast sand based trade goods and fine glass vessels. This is where the majority of Mirage’s trade goods end up. Sandport is the closest settlement to Corsola Reef and Reef Town, making it an important stop along the trade routes. The sand meeting the ocean causes many strange events for the people, including many odd Pokémon migrations and beachings.
CORSALA REEF
A huge Pokémon made reef several thousand years old. The reef itself is made from coral shells cast off by corsala. Their large populations in the past gave birth to the reef over hundreds of years. Many people came from far to gather up the coral for jewelry and other accessories, but the trade has slowed in recent history. The reef is still a huge center of marine life, though corsolas have become ever rarer. Eventually people built a city floating in the midst of the reef to make it easier to gather coral, for themselves and for profit.
The great floating town in the middle of Corsala Reef. Rumor has it that it was built when one man had a dream of living among the Pokémon of the reef and the sea. He started by himself but eventually gathered support and those who would live there with him, until Reeftown came to be. The inhabitants of reef town make their living from deep sea diving for pearls and selling coral for research and keepsakes. But the main source of income is the PidgyPost, one of the only true transit forms of delivery if you absolutely need it there quickly and safe
Trader’s Flatlands
The great flatlands that cover a majority of the region. The grasslands here range in size. The Pokémon that live here are hardy and used to surviving without much to live on. They are a strong and wild bunch used to fighting in the wilds over everything: food, water, space, and even just migration paths. Rumors of old ruins somewhere hidden in the heat shimmers are also mentioned in the primary report.
The city closest to the Great Gap in the Titans Teeth, the city is the main hub for trading among the mainland. It is a great walled city; the walls are said to keep out the wild Pokémon from the savannah, but in the past offered protection from bandits and raiders. The shops here are the best stocked with new and interesting inventions and devices.

A port town on the outskirts of the savannah. Weaved grasses can be used for a variety of crafts. This was primarily a small fishing community, but it now doubles as the western trade port of the region. Many of the people here resent the newcomers who want to make it a major port town, which would force them out of their families’ homes. Decreed as ineligible for Gym placement.
Indorahville
The largest industrial town of the region, this is often where most of the commercial creation items are made. There is a slight problem with pollution, but the city claims that they are taking care of the matter. Nothing more has been disclosed, but there is to be an investigation. The raw material processing plant and steel mill are the city’s main producers. There is also a research facility here, where much experimentation is done for the devising of new items and pokeballs.
A town that is in the process of being built, said to be the tip of the Indorahville and North Nori triangle. It is said to replace Sandport for trading supremacy, this is highly in speculation but may prove true as it is closest to the largest producer of material goods (Indorahville). Little is known about the specifics of the town. May be good Gym Site.
Lake Nori
The largest body of water inland. It is fresh water. Many claim that there is some sort of beast living at the bottom. There have been many underwater searches, but none have found anything but undersea caves. (More local superstition? Undiscovered species? Warrants more investigation.) The lake is home to a variety of water types as well as several others. It is famous for its water fowl, being home to migrating and non seasonal Pokémon.
Part of the ‘Inland Triangle’ (Indorah, Triangle’s Point being the other). The lake resort town where many go to relax in the lake or at the Nori Resort. They have many forms of entertainment, including deep water expeditions, hiking outings, and jet and water skiing.
The town at the southern edge of Lake Nori; unlike its northern counterpart it is not a resort at all, but a lodge for those who wish to make the trek up Sky Peirce. It is more of a base camp than a town at all. But it has gotten many more inhabitants.
Sky Pierce Range
The highest peaks in the region, the rough peaks are always snowcapped. There is a single settlement in the mountain, a mining town that ships most of its ores to South Nori.
A small community that survives only on the mining done in their range. It is a hard life there with little excess and little luxury. Many rock types and steel type Pokémon are used in the mining process.
