 //Pirate//
 - Design: http://i.imgur.com/v3OQvtt.jpg
 - Description: A Warrior class based on the pirate. Sabers, daggers, and rope/grapples are the tools a pirate uses to wage war, but its usable armor is greatly restricted. Similar to the Samurai class, they are front line fighters that use special skills to overcome its low defense. A pirate's sense of balance is nurtured from fighting aboard ships, making them resistant to movement-inhibiting effects, and they can make clever attacks with the use of hooks and rope/grappling hook. There were many players from the North American server, as well as the South American server, that became much friendlier to one another as marine-related quests were added to the American continents' servers.
 
 //Medicine Man//

-Guilds:
+- Description: A Healer class that uses healing and protective spells, they draw power from the various totems spread around the earth. Their unique ability is known as Ghost Walk, which creates a temporary soul body to reduce damage. Furthermore, they can use a greatly expanded version of the Kannagi’s God-Summoning Ceremony as a self-buffing skill. Many skills are related to regional folklore, such as the Sacred Eagle totem, making them popular on video sharing sites.

 - Black Hills (South Dakota: Mount Rushmore National Memorial Park), a sacred place for the indigenous people. The region has yet to be recaptured from the army or subhumans now occupying the land, but native landers are doing their best to rally a force to take back the area. In addition, there is said to be a huge vein of gold in this land.

 The statue has become a huge joke to players around the world, and a popular spot for American players to meet up.

 - Retro America that focuses on collecting die-cast cars (ミニカー). At least, I’m going to assume that it’s die-cast cars instead of microcars, since ミニカー can refer to either one and we know that cars don’t exactly work in Theldesia. Unless this guild just goes around lugging microcars back to their guild hall.
 
-Cities
+- Arms Workshop Cuisinart is a production guild named after the “legendary blacksmith Cuisinart” from Wizardry, and is known for its powerful weapons. Although the guild started out as a joke, it turned out that its members were actually good at making weapons.
 
 - No Tears is basically another spin on the Odyssey Knights. They’re apparently trying to get rid of “death” from this world altogether by doing... something to the revival system.
 
 - Oz is a large guild fighting for Lander freedom. It’s based on the Wizard of Oz, and all its members have a name that somehow correlate to characters from the book. Parties are also color-coded. They’ve been trying to clear raids with inexperienced raiders in order to give them the power to realize their ideals. Its guild master, “Tornado Witch” Dolly, has been given both praise and criticism for her fiery nature.
 
 -Tantalus is another international guild connected to the global company Tantalus Group that has acquired large sums of wealth, primarily through the enslavement of both Landers and Adventurers to keep their business ventures strong.

 //Capoerista//
-Guilds:
+- Design: http://i.imgur.com/lfaQTny.jpg (outdated comment translation)
 - Description: A warrior class that specializes in unarmed combat with a focus on legwork. Uses various 'stances' based on Capoeira and as such can use powerful kicks while standing on their hands or even lying down. They are quite popular on various video sites due to the flashiness of their acrobatic movements, which seem to have been motion captured. While quite difficult to use considering it is a replacement class for Monks and their combo performance is 2 levels lower, they've been adjusted to be more powerful centering around their seemingly iconic footwork.
 
 //Pajé//
 - Design: http://i.imgur.com/3GO1wa4.jpg (outdated comment translation)
-Cities
+- Description: Also known as the Witch Doctor. The Pajé can call forth various Spirits to use as servants, and it is also possible for a Pajé to amplify the effects of recovery spells by combining herbs with their own unique consumables. An overflowing bag of herbs has become synonymous with the Pajé.
 The developers in charge of the South American server, SPEEE, used an abundant budget to add a set of secondary graphics and spell effects, purchasable for Pajé equipment, that has colors unlike that of any other server.

 - The Marble Cathedral (Patagonia: General Carrera Lake) is not an actual structure but a cave, although it also serves as a Cathedral in the game. (It doesn’t seem to be tied to an Adventurer City, so perhaps it’s a checkpoint for Adventurers.)

 //Hwarang//
 - Design: http://i.imgur.com/TEUpmvC.jpg
-Cities
+- Description: A Warrior class that bears the name of the legendary martial arts group. It especially excels in the use of one-handed blades like the long-bladed ring-pommel sword, Hwangdo, and the uncurved straight sword, Jikdo, and other swords. They cannot equip shields, but mitigate damage very well by parrying. While its taunt skills are potent in drawing hate, their long cooldowns make it hard to manage, so usage as a tank requires a degree of discipline. The beautiful graphics for the Hwarang's exclusive equipment, such as its ornate sheathes and armor which seemingly has jewels embedded in it, have become somewhat famous.
 
 //Taoshi//
 - Design: http://i.imgur.com/SETyrNb.jpg
 - Description: A Mage class with the concept that the character attained supernatural powers while on the quest to attain immortality. Freely manipulating fortune, they have great ability to weaken foes and strengthen allies. As they were added with the Legacy of Cendrillon expansion, there are still some older Korean players with North America's Enchanter class (which new players can no longer choose). Thanks to having poured in too much effort into the development of the Hwarang class, making the items and effects for Taoshi more obscure, Taoshi doesn't seem to be a very popular profession.

 - Design: http://i.imgur.com/SOaQ7sV.jpg
-Area of Interest
+- Description: A Warrior class that has been carefully trained to use martial arts for the good of others. Like the Samurai, there are weapon limitations, but they still have a wide variety of weapons at their disposal, like jian (swords), dao (knives), qiang, axes, and pikes. Because of how unique the stances and skills look in motion, some people say that the Youxia feel like they're from an entirely different game. There are many fans of this class because of the wide variety of usable equipment. Because the Chinese server implemented a system allowing high ranking players to register titles, large numbers of players travel from outside of China to compete.
 
 //Daoshi//
 - Design: http://i.imgur.com/Am2FQ9R.jpg
 - Description: An offensive Mage class that is versed in the power of nature. Analogous to the Sorcerer, the class excels at defeating enemies by freely manipulating the elemental forces of fire and lighting, ice and snow. The long cooldown times for their skills weaken them, so to compensate for that, a type of exclusive item system called the [Precious Tool] was developed. Because Precious Tools significantly increase skill effects, Daoshi challenge large-scale battles in search of various Precious Tools. A combat-oriented Daoshi equipped with Precious Tools will be adorned in gorgeous handcrafted visual effects.

 ==Area of Interest==
 - Floating Island (Neverland), a floating island that has been repeatedly spotted across all of Western Europe. It has remained a mystery to players for years, though some believe that it is involved in a very difficult quest line.
 The island is actually a bug from Neverland content that was shelved after an incident in the NA server.
 
 - Hole of the Giants (Tartarus), a literal hole into the underworld that randomly moves about the country spitting out one raid level giant after another.
 
 - Daedalus's Labyrinth (Crete), an ancient labyrinth modeled after the legend of the Minotaur from Greek mythology.
 The dungeon is a magnificent royal palace for Prince Asterius, the Minotaur. Because it was designed to confine the prince who became the Minotaur adventures find it impossible to escape the high-level Legion Raid dungeon. The only minimum requirement for escaping the labyrinth is the item "Ariadne's Thread" which returns adventurers to the Great Temple of Athens.
 The dungeon is still not widely known in Japan even lthough a message reported that a Japanese group had clear the labyrinth and obtained a Phantasmal-class battle axe. [D.D.D]
 
 - The Undying Factory (France), a factory that is not completely dead which lies hidden deep in a cave inside a secluded forest.
 Ghosts of the old world continue to work the broken production line shouting, "Failure. Yes! Does not meet the quality standards."
 Using the materials lying around adventurers must find a way to repair the machinery. Completing the dungeon grants adventurers the factory's finished product as a reward.
 
 - The Gallant Military State (France): The Lander nation which covers nearly all of France. While the state has a named king to for appearances, the true power lies with a group made up of feudal lords from the surrounding area. In many cases their lands are richer and far more stable than many other regions in the world.
 --While Adventurers are centered around the player town known as Via de Fleur, Landers have established their strongholds and towns along the banks of Loire River valley.
 --Ever since the Catastrophe many clans have begun using their knights to proudly protect their fiefdoms from the hands of Adventurers.
 
 - Via de Fleur (Paris) is one of the major player cities in the Western European server whose location corresponds to Paris in the real world. Has a considerable population of Adventurers from when it was merely a game. The city’s transport gate is unable to link with the Nordic server whose regions correspond to the UK and Germany, making it difficult to travel back and forth between the two servers.
 Via de Fleur has since yielded it’s position to Seven Hills [Rome] as the most prominent city in the Western European server.
 --After the Catastrophe the population has halved as many Adventurers have left to make their way towards Seven Hills [Rome] with a battle guild reenacting their own version of “Beyond the Alps”.
 --In the beginning it is common for many French Adventurers choose Via de Fleur as their starting city before joining large-scale guilds and moving to Grand Palace [Brussels].
 
 - Carpathian Mountains (Romania), an area modeled after Bram Stoker's "Dracula" and the holy land of vampire legends. At the peak lies the impregnable castle known as "Castlevania".
 --Rumors say that the high-level kin of darkness who guard Castlevania are ruled by a vampire emperor. Many expeditions have been led by European players, but non have yet to witness the figure known as emperor.
 It is said that a new area would be opened up with the release of the "Homesteading the Noosphere" expansion.
 
 - Mountain of the Sleeping Dragon (Spanish Pyrenees), the gently-sloping mountain range that straddles Spain and France. Due to the difficulty of crossing lander and and adventurers rarely approach. Wild animals, monsters, and a large dragon species have made the mountains their home.

 The field has many flowers and trees that still remain, and a little stream that has created flower gardens in many places. The gardens have also become the home of fairies and spirits of the departed.
 A long quest chain begins for a young girl that has three knights trying to win her affection with gifts. A snow-white sword, a tiara of gold, and a sparkling jewel. In the end the girl chose to turn herself into a tulip to remain pure, becoming the fairy queen in the process. After she has left an Artifact-level reward remains for the adventurer.
 
 - City of Eternal Diamond (Belgium), a city created from a forest of diamond spires created with nanotechnology from the Old World.
 A nearby mine contains diamonds of every color imaginable. There is also a spire that was destroyed by unimaginably powerful weapons. Any debris that remained was carried off as a jewel long ago.
 Under the diamond spires an underground dungeon can be found that is in a state of twilight. The holographic logo of a diamond company can be found. It is one of the strongest examples of corporate advertising on the European servers.

 Guildless Groups:
 - Red Dragon Pirates, were said to prey upon the Yamato Sea and Korean Peninsula. They are actually a ragtag group of refugees and outcasts from around the region that go out of their way to help others and establish trade routes. Though what they may be up to at any moment is up to a whim.
 
 - Roland Village Knights: Local lords abandoned the North American village of Roland to fend for themselves. A dozen adventures decided to stay and protect the town, gaining the title of Knights from local villagers.
 
 - Black Hand of Justice: Rumored to be a worldwide spy organization and assassination group consisting of Ancients and selected Landers
  Formed 240 years ago, they secretly eliminate any unwanted presence for the gods.
 Players complained about never finding any traces of the Black Hand, so it is very much a mystery if the group actually exists or not. Though they are likely to have been met by some adventurers...maybe.
