"I hope you care to explain yourselves!"-- Arallell Relsren, Linaria
12//26//09-- As of today, we will no longer be accepting original characters from Numell or Linaria. We advise all new and old members to look into playing canons, as we have a vast number, each customizable and of varying importance. We are also in need of characters in the Daisairian cult. Please PM Jessi with questions. Happy Holidays!
7//24//09-- Attention all current members of Illusia. We need to fill our staff positions as well as canons as soon as possible. If you want to apply for any of these positions, please do not hesitate to PM admin Jessi. All canon applicants so not have to wait for approval on the character, approval is granted when the bio is finished. In the mean time, anyone wishing to help advertise around other sites is welcome to do so!
7//14//09-- At 6:33PM EST, the site was officially declared open and was taken out of maintenance mode. Break out the champagne and sparklers everyone because after almost a year of dark, and empty maintenance mode, we are once more open to the public. We extend a warm welcome to the members of the old site and to any newcomers. On with the role play, loves! --Jessi

¤ The Kingdom of Linaria ¤
Aurae, The City of Light The capital of Linaria, a city dedicated to the vast harbor it houses. Water flows throughout the city from the walled exterior to the grandeur of the castle that sits in the midst of the lively town around it. The town itself has a very large market and a very detailed harbor riddled with ships from makers all around the world. The sky overhead is known for a particular brilliance as the coast gives way to a clear and crystalline sky.
The Plains of Alierial A large field of soft rustling grass stretches on for miles without end. It's littered with the ruins of what used to be the capital of Linaria; a city that was destroyed in a battle between Numell and Linaria over territory. Dark and ominous, the ruins are said to house the spirits of those who died in the war, including the Queen of so long ago. Many visit on a sort of pilgrimage under the belief that a new demi-god will one day arise from the ashes of the battlefront.

The Villiage of Caracias A small village nestled in the heart of the Chorrus mountain range. It's very small, but it has a very respectable history. The village has produced many nobles out of their small ranching community, although most of it's citizens are simple goat herders or cattle ranchers. While the outside seems peaceful, the village has been known to hold dark secrets.

The Lake of Rinell A large lake located in the middle of Linaria, to the east of the plains. It is one of the largest lakes in Illusia and is a common spot for travelers. The vast lake is home to a small village in the surrounding forest called Inai.

The Port City, Velsier The easternmost city in Linaria, Velsier is a major trading port which brings in a vast majority of Linaria's imports. The city is designed in three different regions: the harbor, the city & market place. The port has seen trade from all across the world, including the Dominair Isles when they were still operational. Velseir is also home to the the largest church in the country.
Malfonen Bridge, South End A small gate that acts as the Linarian side of the pass between the Numelli-Linarian border. The bridge has been around for hundred of years, snaking across the vast Rinell river for a total length of approximately 56 miles. The south end of the bridge is a shady place nearest to the manor of Duke Yrik, a powerful Linarian nobleman who taxes the land to it's last drop of life. He is set on a war with Numell, despite the concerns of Parliament.

¤ The Kingdom of Numell ¤
Damod-Caer , The City of Kings A grand capital of Numell lies between twin mountain ranges. Graced by well rounded weather and alpine views, this city is home to a greater portion of the country's nobility and monarchy. Encased by high stone walls, this city is known for its militaristic strength and excellent defense system. Three gates guard the first tier of Diamod-Caer, the only exit leading into the barricades of the mountain pass.
Illongau Port A large trading city of Numell located on the coast of the Gulf of Aries. The wind is always infallible; never a day is seen without the fierce coastal gusts. The majority of Numell's military officials and aristocrats have made homes here in this cliff side port due to it's esteemed economy and large estates.
Rhinwedd Villiage Rhinwedd is a small farming village located in Southern Numell. It is the closet city to the bridge between Linaria and Numell. Laid in the scarce plains beset by distant forests, this is one of the only farming villages in the country. Many of the finest wines and vegetables are produced here, although the majority of the town is made of farmers.

The Valley of Mawr The 'Valley of Kings' in the old tongue, this forested dent in the earth is said to be one of the seven world wonders. Stretching from the Rinell River to lake Astrusi, it is the largest of the valleys in the land. Ruins lace the forested hills leading down to a small lake in the middle. The lake is rarely seen due to heavy amounts of fog.

Malfonen Bridge, North End A small gate that rests as the pass between Linaria and Numell. The bridge has been around for hundred of years, snaking across the vast Rinell river for a total length of approximately 56 miles. Travelers spend days along the bridge sometimes, but not due to the length; many shops lie along the Northern half of the bridge. Farmers from the neighboring village often come to sell bargain goods to unsuspecting travelers.
Notitia, City of Knowledge Capital of Illistrai, Notitia is a large rather flat city located in the center of Illistrai between two connected rivers. It has seen many come and go through its city front and has gained a reputable library that is known throughout the land. The city has no gate since the people value freedom and peace.

St. Laeluan Port A small port city accustomed to rainy days and the smell of cod caught in the small harbor and distributed around the land. Very few people other than the families of fishermen live here. The village does boast a prominent gold market due to the close location to Alreia.

The Plains of Altris A rather peaceful grassland that is home to many species of animals and wildlife. Many say the gentle swaying of the grass and the rather unique rock formations possess a spiritual quality, so it is not unheard of to see caravans making pilgrimages through the plains.

The Forlorn City, Witton Witton was once a peaceful city that overlooked the fiefdom before it until history caught up with it. Many years ago, before the Daisair had risen, young Draem drove the Witton into ruins. Since then it has been placed in stable hands and peace has been temporarily restored. Still, times are hard and shady characters have been seen lurking in the unsuspecting alley ways.

The Oasis City, Insolitia A large city practically on the Illistrai-Alreia border that is a vast oasis for travelers. It is the last city before the daunting mass that is the Solinca desert and overflows with water from a small spring nearby. Although the gardens are famed many come to this city for trade and the acclaimed provision centers. There have been many disputes over which country this city belongs to.

¤ The Kingdom of Alreia ¤
Oriens, City of the Sky Oriens, capital of central Alreia, is a large and bustling city located along the Atheins Plains. The city is the largest in all Illusia and is home to one of the worlds largest trade networks in existence. The gates house several districts, sections that hold the various social groups found throughout Oriens. The castle is in the center, built up on a looming mountain that overlooks the entire city and a great portions of the plains. A very large jewel mining facility lies about 500 km from the outer city limits.

Cithara Mountains A great mountain range located along the Northwestern expanse of Alreia, west of sea. The only break in the range is a small pass where the river Diegro cuts through. Numerous mines and trade stops line the mountains. Part of the range extends into Illistrai.

Syire, the Mountain Villa A fairly large market town that deals with the various jewel trades, both legal and illegal. The city itself is built into the mountains to where it forms the shape of a horseshoe, creating a hard situation for travelers needing rest. A large bell tower lies in the center of the town, which rings hourly.

The Crystal Desert, Solinca The largest desert in Illusia, Solinca is the main place to sift for the rare blue crystals that are hidden in the especially fine sand. The crystals are extremely difficult to find, but if obtained, possess astonishing healing properties and can sell for thousands. The desert is also, however, littered with fake crystals called Crysali that look very similar to the Desert Crystals to the point that many market off the fake as the real thing. The Cyrsali do, however, make excellent jewelry pieces and are sold at local markets at a fair price. The desert itself has very few oasis's, making it difficult to cross.

Aetheris, City of the New Sun. Located beyond the Citharas Mountain range, this city is a very large and proud expanse of Alreiac culture. With no route to the mainland, this surprisingly large city is very difficult to reach. For this reason the most common means of arrival are through the small port along the northern coast. The city is very historic, boasting many statues by famous artists and more of Alreia's famous trade markets. The people of the city, however, are very proud, and it is common belief that the city is an independent entity, thus being the source of much controversy. The city has it's own separate laws and leaders. At the moment, relations with other 'beyond-the-mountain' cities and the 'mainlands' are good, although a recent rebellion has sent some into a dark area of belief.
