For this update, we will introduce the Wena Islands, one of the continents of Astoltia, covering its topography, governing race (Wetlings), and the characters you will encounter.
Topography
The Wena Islands are a collection of islands in southwest Astoltia, with beautiful beaches and nature spread across each island. In the northern islands, there are various jungle areas overgrown with trees, such as the Tropical Rainforest and the Keracona Primeval Forest.
—Beaches have palm-like trees, and the crystal clear sea is filled with beautiful coral reefs.
—In and around the Booneer Rainforest in the north, you will find many waterfalls such as the “Honesty Grand Falls.”
—“Nekojima” is an island inhabited solely by monsters that look like cats. The cat people, which understand human speech, are said to live there.
Wetlings, The Water People
A race that lives with freedom on the beautiful islands of Wena. They are sensitive, and value love and songs. They can swim better than other races, likely because of the fins on their ears and back.
—The Wetlings have a unique marriage custom in which the groom gives the bride a seashell, and the bride returns the feeling with a song.
—Maybe because they are descendants of a race that originally lived in the sea, fish-loving cats are not the Wetlings’ cup of tea.
—The Queen of the Verinard Kingdom sings the “Song of Blessing” to support the lives of the Wetlings.
Villages and Towns
Lane Village is located on the southeastern island of Wena, and Julett Town is located on the central island. Verinard Castle Town is built atop the water right off the northwestern island, and can only be visited by ferry or train.
—On the Wena Islands, there are ferrymen who will help you get from island to island by canoe.
—Lane Village: A small, seaside village full of palm-like trees and colorful flowers. There is an orphanage north of the town.
