Today, its skyline consists of grotesque buildings and streets in complete disrepair. Located to the west is Bloomingdale's, inhabited by a small community of those who escaped from the Apostles, and to the east Union Square.

E

Empyrean

Little is known about Empyrean's past, save the fact that it had been in the past a highly developed civilization with an advanced understanding in magic. A millennium before the time of Bakal's reign of terror over Empyrean, peoples of Empyrean and Arad maintained a close contact via Sky Tower. In response to Bakal's severance of the only link to the underworld and his subsequent prohibition on magic in an attempt to suppress all forms of resistance, Empyreans cultivated a new civilization of science and technology. Empyrean today possesses a unique mixture of Oriental themes and elaborate high technology.

P

Pandemonium

Pandemonium was formerly a part of a flourishing planet named Terra. Terra's breakneck development in culture and technology soon led to a cataclysmic war, in which the warring nations promptly destroyed themselves and their home planet with an array of high-tech arsenals. The resulting destruction of the planet caused the city of Terra to break away and wander across space and time. During the city's numerous rendezvous with alien planets, various types of life form flowed in, brewing chaos and pandemonium in their midst. For this reason, people began calling Terra by its new name, Pandemonium. Pandemonium is currently in contact with Arad.

T
