Land InformationOn this forum there are a total of Four Continents;
- The Origin Continent which is known by Shinobi & Civilians as the Land of Beginnings
- The Summoning Realm which is known by all non-summons as just that, while Summons refer to it as The Land of Constellations.
The Origin Continent- Spoiler:
The Main continent which most events deemed important to the "Shinobi World" take place. In actuality it is a war torn continent divided into five territories, with the Pandora Empire to the West, Epsilion Republic to the North, Allied Shinobi Nations to the East, Dobutsu Badlands to the South and finally The Land of Maddess in the center serving as a buffer zone between the four other superpowers. The Land of Beginnings used to be under the control of the Shogon of the West Empire however after a brutal war for independence they have recently regained their autonomy. Originally being comprised of Seventeen Lands it has found itself split apart and divided among Four Factions with the only one being unaffected being the Land of Madness.
Republic of Five Villages
Upon the disbandment of the Six Great Shinobi Nations during the previous war with the Dobutsu, the Shogunate & Pandora, the remaining Shinobi forces gathered in the East in an attempt to maintain its stance in the world. During this time members of the six nations came under a peace pact in order to maintain order and in hopes of taking back their old homes. This peace pack created the Shinobi Council which was based in the remaining two Great Shinobi Nations, 1 of the Minor Shinobi Nations and a territory which did not originally possess any Hidden Village. Many years after this, given another war and a period to rebuild, another village, created by a powerful Missing Ninja was added and a village was build in the Land of Paradox. This, combined with Kohaigakure becoming a Major Village, resulted in the nation no longer being a council and returning to the old ways of the Five Kage and creating the Republic of Five.

Land of Madness
The only territory which was not snatched up by any of the factions thanks to the actions of Gekihen who united the missing nin and bandit populace to jointly repell and form of invasion from the other superpowers. Gekihen would go on to form their own Hidden Village comprised entirely of Missing nin while Bandits were allowed entry for trading and supplies. Gekidogakure is a safe haven for both missing nin and bandits alike and the Land of Madness while still having the freedom which all bandits and missing nin crave have taken steps to organizing amongst themselves to protect the land from the influence of others.

The Summoning Realm- Spoiler:
The Summoning Realm did not exist prior to the merging of the Dimensions, initially summoning creatures existed in their own plane of existence completely apart from humans, dobutsu and chakra beasts. It was how they were able to survive the destruction of the Human's old world without much difficulty. During the merging of Dimensions however their realm was brought into the current one and settled within the Lost Sea aptly named due to the entire bottom half of the world being covered by water. Contrary to popular belief the Lost Sea was originally the largest sea however upon the manifestation of the Summoning Realm the area it spanned over was reduced. Similar to it's counterparts it is divided up into 13 sections each ruled over by 1 of the 12 Zodiac contracts originally the 13th Zodiac Contract ruled over all Summons however it was fractured from within and now the central section is now deemed neutral territory and is the home to the bulk of the Unknown Contracts. Within each Zodiac Territory exist the Zodiac Contracts and their Greater Contract Allies which form the largest amounts of summons.

MountsMounts are creatures which serve to reduce travelling time when travelling alone or when everyone in the group has a mount. The result is essentially half the number of posts or word count needed to go to and from a location.
Note: Traveling within your own faction is done through safe roads unless under specific circumstances. Thus there is no need for travel topics unless one is specifically taking unsafe paths to either get a fight, find something interesting or as part of a mission.
