Forgotten City Sometimes referred to as "the Ancient City," "the Forgotten Capital" or "the City of the Ancients." The city was the capital of the Cetra civilization, exhibiting such unusual structures as homes made from giant helical shells. A shrine exists hidden beneath the city, surrounded by water like a small isle. The Forgotten City is now overrun with the White Trees from The Sleeping Forest nearby. The trees oddly glow on the darkest of nights. They hold a magical purpose still unknown to many today. Beyond that is a large dark lake, reaching out for miles and miles.
Icicle Inn Aerith Gainsborough's birthplace. For a time, Professor Gast and Ifalna, an Ancient, lived in the town before being hunted down and killed by Hojo and his men. The town functions as a resort because it snows year-round. The constant cold temperatures are not due to the location of the town, despite its polar position, but are actually because of the town's proximity to the Northern Crater, where the Planet channels a large amount of Spirit Energy in an effort to heal itself.
Northern Crater A massive crater caused by 'The Calamity' over two thousand years ago. The crater houses ancient creatures called W.E.A.P.O.N.S, creatures summoned by the life stream to clense all life from the planet, in order to start fresh.
Rumor has it that bits of the Calamity still remain in the crater and are highly sought after by Shinra.
The Wilderness The Wilderness in the Northern Continent is very barren and icy. Snow nearly always falls covering the harsh grounds in blankets of white. Be wary of the many hungry and vicious beasts roaming these parts.
Costa Del Sol A coastal resort town that also serves as the main port on the western continent. The buildings are all red tiled with yellow washed walls. Very spanish in architecture.
Nibelheim Cloud Strife and Tifa Lockhart's hometown. The Shinra Mansion located here was the research site for the Jenova Project, and, although since abandoned, still contains much of Professor Gast and Hojo's research. Its basement, accessible by a secret passageway, contains the laboratory and research library. Presumably after Gast left the Jenova Project, it was used by Hojo to conduct many of his immoral experiments. Moderators: Sephiroth, Rufus Shinra, Ryutarou Sudo
North Corel The remains of Coral, and it's survivors after Shinra's assault on the town. What was once an industrious and thriving community is now reduced to a shanty village.
Gold Saucer A towering amusement park built on Corel's ruins, financed and operated by Shinra. There are many shows going on all the time, and the Park also holds a Battle Arena and even Chocobo Racing!
Many of the rides here are cheap but be prepared to pay a hefty entrance fee!
Cosmo Canyon Red XIII's birth place. It is a pilgrimage site for those who have an interest in the Study of Planet Life. Bugenhagen's observatory is here. The settlement on the canyon powers itself without mako reactors through the use of windmills.
The entire area gives off a red aura almost, making the Canyon seem alot hotter than it actually is.
Wutai A country occupying a large island off the western-most continent, although the name is primarily used to refer to the only known settlement on the island. Yuffie Kisaragi is the princess of Wutai. Yuffie's father, Godo, led the city in a struggle for dominance against Shinra but lost.
Wutai is apparently based upon pre-modern Japan and China, utilizing familiar motifs such as a pagoda (where Godo resides), and a large statue called "Da Chao," bearing the appearance of what appears to be Buddha and other related figures. Wutai is also the name of a sacred mountain in China, thereby adding to the oriental feel of the region.
Gongaga A small country town marked by a nearby mako reactor. The reactor was destroyed when it was was targeted by the Red-Hoshu, claiming the lives of several innocents. The people who live here lead simple lives, but the younger generation tend to leave the village in search of adventure. Moderators: Sephiroth, Rufus Shinra, Ryutarou Sudo, Sophoenix Altera

The Wilderness The Wilderness on the West Continent is hot and barren, with it's share of deserts and savannahs. There are some rainforests at the base of Mount Nibel. Moderators: Sephiroth, Rufus Shinra, Ryutarou Sudo
Midgar The largest and most industrialized city in the world, where Shinra is based. It sits in the middle of a large plain on the eastern continent. The area around the city has become distorted and polluted as a result of the use of mako reactors, and ultimately, the Mako Bomb. The city is divided into eight numbered sectors. Each sector has two areas: one at ground level and one elevated section on a plate fifty meters above the ground. The upper plate is supported by a main column in the center of the city and an additional support column located in each sector. The upper city is primarily home to upper class citizens, while the lower portions consist of slums and lower class settlements. The lower class part of the city is also home to seedier establishments such as a brothel. The city is powered by eight mako reactors, one in each sector. There is also Reactor 0, which the other eight reactors get their energy from.
When the bomb hit, it took out hit Sector 7 directly, almost obliterating the entire plate, and what was below it. The explosion ruptured the pillar of Sector 6, and Sector 5, but somehow Sector 8 Survived almost unscathed. Both 6 and 5 have collapsed.
Sector 5, 6, 7 and 8 are inaccessable, due to Mako radiation. Some say, the sectors are filled with mutated citizens and monsters, which explains the heavy Shinra soldier presence.
Kalm A germanic-style town northeast of Midgar, outside the wasteland surrounding it. It is primarily populated by former workers of the nearby Mythril Mine, which is no longer in service due to the appearance of monsters in the area. The town's residents are divided on the subject of Shinra and the use of mako. Kalm gets its energy from a direct feed from the Midgar reactors.
Junon The second-largest city in Gaia, Junon sits along the west coast of the eastern continent. The surrounding terrain and ocean have become polluted due to continued operation of the city's undersea mako reactor. As a result, the fish in the adjacent sea have died out and the original village of Junon (located under the upper city's airport) is inhabited mostly by impoverished citizens. The upper city is the location of Shinra's military headquarters, featuring an airport, submarine docks, and a powerful artillery cannon known as the Junon Cannon.
Fort Condor A mountain-based fortress belonging to a rebel faction located on the lower east side of the eastern continent. The fort is named for the massive breed of condor that resides there. The mountain and the surrounding area have become polluted due to the use of a now-derelict mako reactor above the fortress. On top of the reactor sits a condor nest.
The Wilderness In the East Continent, the Wilderness ranges from open grassy plains and large boggy marshes with a mountain range dividing the continent in half.
Mideel A small wooden town consisting of lodges and huts right in the center of a large forest on the island. In the center of the town is a raging river, with two rope bridges connecting the North part of town to the South.
Temple of the Ancients A large structure into which the Ancients transformed the Black Materia to prevent its use. Whoever wishes to turn the building back into the Black Materia must sacrifice his or her life by solving a series of puzzles that shrinks the temple back to its original size, crushing whoever is inside.
