The Main Building is the largest building at Beacon Academy. Most of the classrooms are located inside this massive structure, along with faculty rooms, janitorial closets, and other miscellaneous rooms. The halls are massive, containing large lockers, one assigned to each student.

Attached to the Main Building is the Coliseum. While it is not large enough to seat all the students, it's a good enough size for a crowd. There is a large center field where students may duel. Spiraling around the center are raised seats where others can watch safely.

Connected to the Main Building is the Grand Ballroom. This large building was constructed for the regular dances and parties that would go on at Beacon. There is even a large balcony connected to a grand staircase.

The Dining Hall is a large building capable of containing all the students at a single time. There are dozens of tables and chairs, a large, double doored entrance, and the building has massive windows, creating a perfect view inside and out.

The Commercial District is where healthy businesses and reputable establishments can be found. This includes grocery stores, book shops, cafés, family-friendly restaurants, comic book stores, clothing shops, jewelry stores, and more.

As its name would suggest, the Red Light District is located on a more dangerous side of town. Beacon Academy students might find themselves in a bit of trouble if caught here after dark. This district contains bars, night clubs, black market shops, and other such infamous establishments.

This part of town contains most of Vale's factories, power plants, distribution centers, and heavy industrial buildings. Most hard working citizens of Vale make a living by slaving away in this district.

This passive port is the key location of Vale's shipping industry. Massive ships containing merchandise are constantly coming and going. Travelers often will come by boat as it is the easiest way to get to Vale. The nearby fishing market is almost always running, even at night.

A few miles out of town reside the Agricultural Outskirts. This massive part of Vale contains miles and miles of farming territories. Many farmers take great pride over their crops and livestock. Due to the great numbers of Grimm in the woods, Hunters will often be needed here to help clear out Grimm off farmer's land.

Deep in the Vast Wilderness outside of Vale, about a two day hike into the mountains, will lead to the Plymouth Caves. There are dozens of these caves scattered about the various mountains; there are even many caves deep underground, buried, lost, and forgotten. This place is very dangerous due to the large number of Grimm that gather here; however, due to the vast quantities of dust, many miners will make the trip out here hoping they can get rich.

The Town of Varen sits on the coastline, about thirty miles from Vale. Due to the mountains in-between, this town can only be reached by boat or plane. This little town is not known to be a location of battle, as there is no academy to train hunters. They more of a cultural location, specializing in festivals, spiritual rituals, and large events. Due to its location, few tourists come through it, so this town mostly contains locals. The town's roads are cobblestone pathways with buildings packed in close together. Paper lanterns hang between buildings and over streets and stone lion statues are everywhere.

The Blue Sea is the largest ocean in this realm. It acts as a great highway for ships to carry cargo and passengers from Vale to other cities on continents far, far away. The shoreline that rests on Vale's borders is calm, but the deep ocean might not always be that way.

Far from Vale, across the Blue Sea, is the Village of Vanora, a town that rests along the waves. A little off from the continent is a series of mountainous islands. This village has built various homes and businesses on the islands and floating atop the waters. It is a small, peaceful village, though Grimm from the ocean have been known to be devastating. People often come here because fishermen are willing to sell water dust that they have found on their journeys.

Deep within the legendary Maze of Mountains is the beautiful city of Valharen. This magnificent city was built into the mountain, to become apart of it. Structures are either built alongside the mountain, atop steep slopes, or rest alongside the beautiful river that blows within. There are magnificent waterfalls galore and endless sights to take in. One of the most amazing sights to see is Bernvien Academy.

Resting along the edge of the blue sea is a bustling town of gourmet food, legendary performers, and stunning art. Veinwood City is home to the Burmess Academy, though the city is often best known for having the best sea food in the entire world, being home to the greatest show business performers of all time, and holding the most stunning art. It is a romantic seaside city.
