The geography of Luthien encompasses four continents, six seas, two major and numerous smaller islands and a sizable ice-covered arctic region.

Bodies of Water

Basin Lake
The more notable of the large lakes on the continent of Hokkaido, it is situated just to the west of the entrance to the Kudo-Guchi Valley and across the Urizen Mountains from Imperial City.[1][2]
Diamond Sea
One of the two northern seas; borders the northern coast of Sakura and the north-west coast of Hokkaido.[1][3]
Emerald Sea
Seiyo Sea
Borders the continent of Sakura and Nagoya Island and neighbors the Emerald Sea.[1][3]
Shaidan Basin
An oceanic depression located south of the continent of Sakura. Sakura's southern peninsula wraps around the basin and it opens to the Seiyo Sea. The metropolis of Amori is on the shores of the Shaidan Basin and both the city of Haratston and the Arisaka Munitions Complex are relatively close.[1][3]

Continents

Hokkaido
With the larger portion of the landmass on the northern side of the equator, Hokkaido is surrounded by the Copper, Obsidian, Silver and Diamond seas, with the arctic region immediately to the north. Located on Hokkaido is the capital of the Draconis Combine (and the planet), Imperial City, as well as the co-located metropolis LAW City and the cities of Jirushi City, Tokaoguchi and Tokoname. Two mountain ranges, the Kiyomori and Urizen, the Kado-Guchi valley, the Nijunen Desert and Basin Lake are the most notable geographical features, with the Plaza of Infinite Sadness and the Hiroshima Peace Preserve as the man-made equivalents. The Takashi Memorial Spaceport is located just to the south of Imperial City.[1][2]
Sakura
Framed by the Diamond, Copper and Seiyo seas, this continent is the most western of the four. Located on Sakura are the metropolises of Amari (to the north) and Amori (to the south), the cities of Haratston, Lyubavitsh, New Sakhalin and Sanyo-Thebes and both the Focke-Achgelis Motorworks and the Fortress Sanethia. The continent's southern peninsula wraps around the Shaidan Basin.[1][3]

Islands

Nagoya Island
Located between the Seiyo and Silver Seas; the city of Nishio is located in the island's northern forests.[1][3]

Landforms

Kiyomori Mountains
The Kiyomoris are the northern-most of the two notable ranges on the continent of Hokkaido. Cutting through two deserts, the heights overlook the Plaza of Infinite Sadness (to the east) and the Kado-Guchi Valley to the south.[1][2]
Waseda Hills
These numerous slopes are the southern trailing end of the Kiyomori Mountains and form the northwest border of Imperial City.[4]


Valleys

Kudo-Guchi Valley
The valley runs between the northern Kiyomori range and the southern Urizens on the continent of Hokkaido. Imperial City lies within its eastern length and at the western entrance lies Basin Lake.[1][2]
