"Here lies a nameless Blue Rogue."

Though mostly unreadable due to weathering it appears to be a gravestone of a pirate whose initials begin with the letter "D." It’s a heap of rocks and an anchor but surely seems like a pirate’s.

This microbe called a Sky Coral attached itself to a rock that has the power of Moonbeam Stones. It can only grow in a warm and clear atmosphere, and it is said that it takes 200 years to mature. This particular color and shape is rare and low in number, and in ancient times it was valued for its use in armors and ornaments.

Silver Moonbeam Stones fall only in the airspace of the small islands around Sky Pirates Isle and Shrine Island, and a reef this big has never been discovered before. This white glittering Silver Moonbeam Stone is speculated to hide a power that can bring forth existence from nothing, but the truth remains unknown.

Three mysterious round rocks that look like a dumpling skewer. It attracts the interests of those who see it with its exquisite balance which looks like it’s about to but doesn't fall. The balls barely support each other, and even when they sway in the wind they never seem to topple.

The desert people gossip about a vanishing phenomenon, and the true form of this seems to be a floating island filled with limpid water in a bedrock bowl. With the difference in temperature of the cold nights and the warm days, the bedrock floats in the sky, and when it cools it lowers to the land.

As shipbuilding and flight distances advanced, this place stopped being as thriving as it was before, but it’s still a place to rest for caravans that travel on land. Not only that, it’s presently a popular place to sell and exchange information. As the spring of water gushes out, the number of stories born in the desert have been dwindling.

Once upon a time, a young Black Viking terrorized the Nasuru Desert to find the Island of Spouting Treasure. When he found it, he was heartbroken to find out it spouted only sand. However, he realized that the true treasure was the desert itself and spent the rest of his years there.

This stone structure is thought to be built during an ancient dynasty. The methods for cutting and transporting these giant pieces of stones at that time were quite advanced. There are no clues about the true purpose of this mysterious large structure.

Due to the constant winds of South Ocean, this natural sculpture has been eroded by nature to look like a bird’s beak. Tall tales of sailors being stabbed by a mysterious gigantic bird flying south likely stem from sightings of this rock formation.

Because it lives being attached to a rock, it can't move by itself. It’s a sack shaped organism that uses its tentacles to seduce prey, and it emits a sweet fragrance to entice and capture fish. There are also frightening stories of small ships being swallowed by overgrown ones.

Most people of the world do not even know that a continent exists beyond the South Ocean. However, a deep green continent has existed since ancient times, and a secluded undisturbed peculiar civilization is concealed in the breath of life. From this discovery, it’s possible that the world may have many more unexplored lands.

A vegetation that grows hanging from below the land. The stem contains strong hallucinogens, and it is said that doctors used it as an anesthetic and for religious purposes. Its ingredients have a diverse amount of uses and its popularly used for alcoholic beverages by squeezing out its fruit juice for its rich aroma.

According to the Montezuman’s knowledge of direction and the Green Moon calendar, this hummingbird’s wings and tails displays the time of the seasons. Geoglyphs such as monkeys and spiders existed but have been gradually swallowed by the forest, save for this one.

A silently standing golden statue that seems to be pointing at something. Peculiar ancient directional knowledge was being developed in Montezuma, and it was built here to pray for peace for the sacred land. Generally, man-made temples or buildings had male statues, while natural things such as trees or springs had female statues.

Deep in the forest there’s a structure of a giant human face. Built by many shapes and sizes of rocks joined together, the structure is so precise that not even a thin sheet of paper can slip in between it. A very long time ago, when this land’s civilization flourished, megaliths, gold, green trees, and shrubs were handed down as part of their religion.

On this large stone structure, various ceremonies were performed based on the phases of the green moon. It is said this temple was constructed long ago when the king ruled the lands. The flourishment of the Montezuman civilization originated here, but because the Baruan invaded several years ago, it was burned down to ruins.

Only female Montezumans live on this small island. Boasting high combat abilities, they appear in surrounding villages to abduct men yearly during the spring and autumn. Due to the Montezuness’ frequent man hunting, the all-male Mo Tribe’s population has sharply decreased. Because of this, the neighboring tribes’ blood relationships are reduced to scattered people.

A mysterious phenomenon of giant geometric shapes that appeared on the soil’s surface overnight. There have been many eyewitness accounts of it recently. According to the ancient literature of this region, there were similar phenomenons in the past, and on the night before they're found there are accounts of 2 or 3 nearby balls of light. Like a living creature with a will of its own, they fly around in the dark of night, but for what purpose is completely unknown.

I woke up suddenly in the dead of night, and I saw something shine in the direction of the fields. At first I thought it was just my imagination, but there were lights swirling in strange patterns in the darkness. I wonder what it could have been.
~A Sailor’s Testimony~

That night, Sandbad the Sailor found a solitary Roc’s nest hidden on an island. There he was, about to take the egg big enough to serve 200 portions of omelette, but before he could roll the egg away, he escaped in terror.
-"Two Thousand and One Nights"

There are stories of a green skinned giant sitting here in leisure or of a gigantic hairy beast dozing off on this giant lump of rock that looks like a rocking chair. There are many fresh marks as if sharp claws have scarred the rock’s surface, and people can only imagine what they could be.

On the continent’s northern shore, there was a mysterious ancient ruin that was later repaired into a lighthouse in order to safeguard the Baruan ships that were navigating in the North. But, together with the times, the civilization’s center shifted from the North to the South, and gradually the lighthouse became obsolete. Before long, the lighthouse became completely forgotten from the people’s memories.

Standing still in the center of Barua’s lake shore lies a majestic old castle. Due to the discovery of strange medicines and the Count’s exceedingly beloved torture devices, coupled with the incidents of missing villagers, there’s a legend passed down from olden times that speaks of a vampire, and it has become remarked it may be related to the Count’s suspicious nature.

There was a story of a treasure before a skull, but I didn't believe it. One night, when I passed far from the side of this rock, the light of the full moon reflected in the skull’s eyes and illuminated a far away island. Who knows whether it indicated the possibility of treasure."
~A Sailor’s Testimony~

A large population of people once lived in this giant rock cave. Persons were able to traverse the houses and halls through the very large networks of passageways that spanned its volume. From the scattered items such as tableware, it is thought something suddenly elapsed that drove the community off but no concrete proof was found at all about the real situation.

It was once believed that there lived a goblin that swallowed ships in the North Dannel route, and so it came to be feared. In truth, it became understood that the area is a rough spot that possessed violent airflows due to the constant swirling winds. Older ships were limited by their strength and propulsive power, and because passage was effectively impossible, many ships are wasted here.

“Though my body is aging I still even now hold a passionate sailor’s spirit
I won't give up as long as there’s a dream
I will journey even today as long as there are skies
The wake of my boat is neverending”

A sailor’s strong spirit composed this powerful letter.

A mysterious vegetation that bears brightly colored fruit and sways in the winds as if floating. Like a balloon, the fruit is wrapped in a thin membrane, and when it breaks, a sweet aroma spreads in the area. During more peaceful times, they bloomed in fullness throughout the world, but as the world became more populated with people and goods, this beautiful flower became dying out.

Beneath the Purple Moon, there exists a mysterious continent silently closed off by frozen ice. Although spoken of in old myths and legends as the world beneath the clouds, as well as the place souls of the dead travel to, this other world was unknown to man for a very long time. It’s true form was confirmed for the first time by the Blue Rogue Vyse.

A strange bird that lives on islands of ice. Because its small winds aren't suited for flying in the sky, it leaps into the air to catch floating fish. During the breeding season, the male and female pair takes turns in warming the egg. They continue this pattern without leaving the egg for even an instant.

The mammoths became extinct in the Old World and haven't been seen for 20,000 years before emerging in this eternal frozen soil. It looks as if it will come alive at any time, as it was frozen in an animated shape and stayed frozen to this day. It looks like it tried to pick food before falling into the glacier’s crevice, but it’s extremely difficult to pinpoint the moment it instantly froze.

Since the distant ancient times, a canvas of colors lighted the dark skies of the Ice Continent. It’s said to have stolen the hearts of the pirates of the past with its captivating and beckoning light. Auroras are thought to be caused by the gravity of the Moons, and every thousands of years the power of the Moons creates Auroras worldwide during lively times.

Before ships spread throughout the world, blimps were the main method of transportation through the skies. One adventurer broke down on this island and repeatedly tried to repair the blimp to challenge crossing the Devil Airspace, but he ultimately couldn't fulfill that dream. Before long, the curtain closed on the blimp as a transportation method, as it became history when it became the age of ships.

Ah, at first I thought it was just an ordinary rock! When I stopped my boat to relieve some anger, a large eyeball from the rock’s crevice staringly glared at me! A pure red leg entangled my ship... I barely escaped with my life, and a little longer the ship would've been in pieces.
~A Sailor’s Confession~

This crystal of Black Moonbeam Stone is very rare in the world and hides unimaginible powerful energy. This stone has the unique characteristic of converting positive energy into negative, and turning negative energy into positive, but a practical use for this has yet to be found. It is said a Black Moon floated in the skies long ago, but the truth remains unclear.

In ancient books, the island country of Yafutoma has been written as a land covered in gold with residents who live fully and highly value manners. Due to being obstructed from all four sides because of impregnable airflows, this mysterious country achieved a unique development of culture. It's existence was confirmed for the first time by the Blue Rogue Vyse.

A bird that has a habit of making nests on rocky surfaces. When summer arrives, this bird travels north near human cities to raise their young. For that reason, the bird's nest is often a sign that "human civilization is northwards." Incidentally, it is said soups made from this nest have a gourmet flavor.

A large fortress which was built in order to strengthen the defenses of the Southern direction by an ancient Yafutoman king. From this grand position, the greatly influential King of the time can see the situation.

Now it has become deserted, but this long fortress extends from this checking station and continues until the far away land of Yafutoma.

The Tokiwadori are large migratory birds that fly gracefully from the far North, worshipped as messengers of longetivity since ancient times. They rarely make noise, but once they do, anyone in range of hearing it will be lost in their beautiful singing. Since then, the famous term, "Tokiwadori's Voice," was born.

Once upon a time, a docile animal called the Umashika lived in the forest isolated from villages. The villagers believed that a kick by this peculiar animal brang good luck, but because of the villagers harsh chasing of it around the overwhelmed Umashika never appeared before humans again.
-Yafutoman Tales of Past and Present

An ancient sculpture of a Prince which is said to have passed its whole life staring at the skies in order to heal the sadness of losing his beloved wife in a travelling accident. It is said on nights of full moons like the night he lost his wife, streaks of tears overflow from the Prince statue's eyes as a prayer for the safety of ships.

A small isolated island which remained out of human eyes for a long time. This beautiful island is constantly overgrown with various medicinal herbs and spices, with a variety of flowers scattered around and a clear spring gushing from this beautiful paradise. The various flowers dancing and falling on the lake surface had made a natural medicated bath. Perhaps this place is truly the ancient garden of youth.

Once upon a time, remote at the end of the sky, jewel fruits grew in abundance on this mountain hermit's island. Once, a young man took a jeweled fruit to cure his sickly mother, but in exchange he became and spent the rest of his years as a tree which bore jeweled fruits on Hourai Island.
-Yafutoman Tales of Past and Present

A stange island which, starting with the trees, everything is reversed. Those who see its exterior will have their sense of equilibrium easily disordered. It's almost certain this mysterious phenomenon's gravity is strange due to the influence of the Black Moonbeam Stones which are rumored to exist in the eye of Sargasso.

Until now, people didn't have a method to find out what was at the end of the world, and it was never given much thought. For a long time, it was believed the fierce swirling airflows was the world of hell expanding, but for the first time the Blue Rogue Vyse accomplished this feat by travelling a route around the East, and by traveling around the world, common sense was overturned.

A ruined city that relayed a prosperous trade between the Eastern countries and Nasuru. Though both cultures were very different, the reason for their splendid unity was that there was a history of constantly bearing the general public as the spearhead of culture. This was eloquently indicated by the powerful patterns illustrated on the walls of every house in the Capital.

A mysterious island in the shape of a cross. On the surface is a beautifully built but strange shaped structure that is said to be a thing of the civilization under the Purple Moon long ago. It is said the cross is pointing to the land of the Purple civlization, but this has yet to be ascertained.

What's at the end of the rainbow? Everyone thinks about this when they're young, but as people grow up the memory fades away. Somewhere in the world, only people who still hold that dream can make certain of the legends of the island that suspends the beautiful rainbow.

A waterfall that pours streaks of Moonbeam Stones is one of geographical features very rare in the world. The waterfall continually falls from a high altitude, and because of the constantly eroding Silver Moonbeam Stones, the overflowing water is said to harbor a mysterious power that is believed to grant longetivity to those who drank this water.
