Village of Catriddle

Biome: Taiga
Size: 1000 people

Description:
Catriddle is a small village build on the gentle slope near the bottom of the mountain, which is heavily overgrown by tall evergreen trees. The houses are built from wood and among the trees. All roads either lead up or down. To the west of the village, there is a river, which floods each year at the snow-melting season, but the village is far enough that it doesn't get affected by the rising waters. To the east of the village are mines, where most of the villagers work.

City of Swanmaze

Biome: Steppe
Size: 1'0000'0000 people

Description:
Swanmaze is a capital city of the Sunset Continent. The first shrine was build on the treeless land near the northern forests. Over time the locality grew southwest turning grassland into cityland. There is a river flowing through the city. The buildings are mostly made of steel and other metals, covered with tiles made of special type of mud to hide the interior materials.

City of Owlway

Biome: Taiga
Size: 20'0000 people

Description:
Owlway is the biggest city near the village of Catriddle. It used to be a mine, but after all minerals were exhausted, a shrine was build at the top of the hill made from the extracted soil, and a village formed around the hill. Over the years, the city flattened the mountainous ground under buildings thus creating a staircase-like terrain of the city, with each step about the height of a house floor. Roads for vehicles slowly rise adjacent to the wall of each step of the city's staircase land until they arrive at the next level of the terrain. Sidewalks turn into narrow circular staircases by the terrain steps. Bigger, wider, straighter staircases are built inside the soil, in the underground, and are connected to all the areas of the city.

City of Sheepcrown

Biome: Forest
Size: 40'0000 people

Description:
Sheepcrown is most known for its bridges built between the buildings, which have on average 3-4 floors. The bridges allow people of the city to walk between the buildings without using the ground on the first floor. The city is mostly built from white rock, which is easy to find in the nature around the city. Moss and ivy are planted on the roofs on the buildings, which grow down and eventually cover the whole building. City is full of flower pots attached to walls and balconies on every floor. The two most common forms of travel in the city are by foot or by tram.

A peaceful town, where life goes slowly. Nobody's rich there, but nobody's poor either. People are nice, and always helping each other. The town isn't famous, and there aren't that many visitors, except for students of Hestia, because it's the closest town located about 50 km west from the school of Hestia.
