The Desert Expanse

The site of the final battle between Primus, the One King and the Great Ancient Lords Fuujin and Homura. While the surface appears peaceful, the remains of those slain, as well as other dark secrets, lay just beneath this placid surface. Since the Great Quake, this area has been fractured in half. This half is still essentially a desert graveyard, but venture further towards the battlefield of the historic "Final Battle"... you are going into a whole new world of trouble.

Following the Great Quake that was unleashed by the emergence of Dominus and The Swarm, various faults and sinkholes that quickly led to the discovery of a vast network of tunnels that covered the whole country. These tunnels are a mixture of man-made, Sandworm made, and "other" made. Several of the hundreds of tunnels seem to have been, or are still currently, used by the human trafficking network in Wind Country to transport their "merchandise". Due to that, there is an active underground train system and mine cart paths to expedite travel to all reaches of the country... if you can negotiate your way onboard. This nefarious system is the actual "highway" while others choose to travel "off-road" in the various other tunnels, at their own peril. "Off-road" paths treasure, creatures, and civilizations either forgotten or never discovered before!

Terminus is the central hub of the newly created transportation and logistics empire of the Golden Sanctuary Merchants Guild. This location not only houses the first two steam-powered trains of Wind Country, T5UM3 and K1B4, but also acts as a distributor for other goods and resources. The GSMG's own research on their "steam tech" development also seems to be taking place in this location. While nearly dead center in the country, this location seems to be guarded more heavily than the Daimyo's palace ever was, but it still a location that one can explore. Whether exploring the different merchant shops located within Terminus, applying for a job, or just taking a ride on one of the trains there is still plenty to see and do here! Oddly enough, the sheer size and design of this location would have taken a few years longer to get where it is already. It seems that the employees contracted by the GSMG are capable of either amazing feats or work long hours and never sleep, but it almost seems inhuman how quickly this came to be...

As Wind Country exited the time known as the "Chaos Era", it was rumored that many within the Journeyman Order set out to establish a forge the likes of which no one had seen before. This area became known as 'Hammerfall'. What was unbeknownst to anyone, except the most skilled Oracles of the time, was that 'Hammerfall' was merely a guise for what was actually taking root within the Southwest portion of Wind Country. Joined by clans of the First Men who did not join the Sunahoshi in cultivating Sunagakure no Sato, become nomadic, or settled in Sora, along with a sect within the Ranger Order, these humans were preparing for the future. Setting up camp in the old headquarter of Primus and the original rebellion, these First Men and the Journeyman Order began building not only a city, not only a forge but a bastion for hope when needed. Their creation would be named after the first name Primus was given while enslaved by the Ancients: Titan. Titan has laid untouched and unnoticed, miraculously, for almost three centuries. Since the Great Quake, beacons of chakra induced light seems to glow from within this walled-off establishment, but does anything actually live within this location? This ancient city that appears to be designed from the future is a testament to the might the Journeyman Order once held. But what is its purpose? Why has it just now being noticed? What secrets does this location hold?
