Central

Basic Info
The land currently inhabited by the Central Empire is the original human homeland in the World of Eve after the death of the Archfiend Adan. The cold climate of the land, which would seal the coasts of the continent during the winter months, made life difficult and escape even more complicated, an no effort was made to settle other continents until the days of King Arthur. A bridge was ultimately constructed to the neighbouring continent now home to the City-State of Hamlet. The continent's history after this period is unknown, but at some point the Central Empire rose to power and united as a country in its own right.

During the time of the Arthur Tragedy, Central was under the rule of Emperor Viaries. The tragedy led to Central hiring the poppins of Humpty to create the Battleship Digamma, the greatest sailing ship the world had ever seen. After the tragedy, Viaries disappeared into isolation and his son, Prince Felton, became de facto ruler of the nation.

Central is now one of the world's great powers, alongside the Kingdoms of Eden and of El Quixote. Beside their prominent military, the nation has business in the market for crystals and crystal-related crafts, which are also used in magic.

Major Cities and Sites
The Central Empire is home to four major cities: Central, Leftest, Lightning and Aubade. The first three cities are each close to a major ruin from the days of Mother Eve. Central is not far from the Mirror Labyrinth, a ruin that plays a key role in the history of Mother Eve and the First Ancestor. The labyrinth is now guarded by a mysterious creature.

The towns of Leftest and Lightning are both close to one of the three famous towers created by Mother Eve. Leftest is close to Ancestor's Tower, where the First Ancestor was imprisoned for an extended time. The town of Lightning is home to Bride's Tower, where Eve and the First Ancestor were married. The tower underwent a good deal of decay over the ages, but was recently restored in preparation for the marriage between Prince Felton and Princess Croix of Eden. The final town of Central, Aubade, is a simple coastal town.

The third tower created by Mother Eve - Humanity's Tower, the birthplace of humankind - once existed on the continent of Central, but has since been lost. It is believed to have somehow become consumed by the sea.

Trivia

 * Central's towns share a location-based theme: the city of Leftest is "left-most," i.e. west-most. Central is centrally placed from left to right (west to east). As said by an NPC, Lightning is a now-unrecognizable corruption of "Right" into "Light" (having undergone a shift from R to L, similar to the confusion between those same sounds in Japanese-to-English localization).
 * The town of Aubade does not match this theme. An aubade is a sad love song, with a focus on daybreak. There is no apparent reason for the name.
