OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Sanmyaku mountains: Massive and towering around the ocean dividing them. The cliff faces are smooth stone with ruby, emerald, diamond, crystal, gold, silver and aurodium veins that make it shine when the sun hangs overhead giving a thousand and one colors for all to see across the twin oceans on either side of it.
Sai-No-Kawara sea: Within the mountains, a circular sea from an impact crater by something it is uncertain but the ring that was created allowed for a different ocean that was massive in size to form and at its center a smaller mountain range that leads down into the lost sea of Arakawa and the city itself.
Sea of Arakawa: A hidden ocean several kilometers down under the surface of the planet. Ringed by a second set of mountains that go high into the air and partition letting in small amounts of water normally and large amounts when the ses are storm filled. Small islands that are within can be used to hold ships and airships for exploring the sea and tunnelsdown below.
HISTORICAL INFORMATION
The quasi mystical northern continent of Atrisia, mostly shrouded in mysteries and mth among the people fo the planet until it was semi charted. At least that is most of the history books, in truth the northern continent was lost for tens of thousands of years compared to the others and it wasn't known that there was an entire civilization living there after the continent itself was swallowed by the sea.
The ancient records by one of the philosophers on the islands said that the ancient city was to powerful, to arrogant and the gods smote them sending them down into the sea. Then it was.... quiet just stories about something that was there beyond the new mountains that were appearing and seemed for the longest time impassible. It wasn't until airships were created for transporting over the oceans and ice that it was discovered the inner sea.
The survey teams there sought to mine that massive cliffs for precious metals and stones, for possible sources of fuel and income that could be given to their lords. The whales and sea creatures that were thick with blubber and meat for food were being hunted and the massive amounts of fish that could fill holds for sale in the cities. It was later that they discovered the ancient pumps and canals that took the water away and sent it to the mainland.
The continent itself is below in the hidden ocean, the city, the people living generally in the cave system and have taken to producing large amounts of aquatic food for sale across Atrisia. With events like the netherworld tearing rifts and displacing tens of millions from Atrisia the continent suffered but has slowly been working to rebuild itself and its population. Taking on training purposes for yovshin with an academy and outpost that teaches them on the planet before sending them to the palace and into space for the new orbital yards that they have been working on.

- Landmark Name: Ezogashima
- Classification: Continent
- Location: Atrisia
- Affiliation: Atrisian Commonwealth
- Size: Massive
- Population: Heavy
- Demographics: Namely Atrisians of hardy stock. Paler skinned and thickly muscled while covered with coarse hair to keep themselves warm and wearing furs as opposed to simple kimonos.
- Accessibility: Hard to access by boat or foot, for nearly one thousand kilometers around the continent is arctic waters both cold and deep. With ice on top that varies in its density making trekking across it difficult. Boats need to be outfitted to handle ice sheets. The main entrance to it is a maintained section of water with way stations allowing one to get close to it. With ships from space or the air it is much easier to reach the continent.
- Description: Frozen and mysterious in the far northern continents of Atrisia. Ezogashima is partially frozen, the continent itself being mostly submerged With two main sections of it. The ring of the continent that looks like something impacted the planet and created the massive crater ocean. With the Sanmyaku mountains rising around it high into the air. With small passages that lead into the sea of Arakawa that is sunk thousands of feet below the oceans level. The frozen ocean has in the center a second impact site. A one thousand foot in diameter hole upon a jet black mountain range in the interior. As it goes deeper down it opens into Sai-No-Kawara sea. A hidden ocean under that has water fed into it from the sea above. The main city of the continent is within here three kilometers down below the ocean. To prevent flooding, massive pumps are used to drain excess water above a certain level and pumped to the mainland through underwater tubes for irrigation systems. There are several artificial islands in the cavern they are in and the captial is filled with temperature controlled gardens and area. Making almost a paradise in the far north.
