#the forest is a safe haven from other worse kingdoms or is it more scarcely populated bc of the elves already being there + other; more

[gu6chan]

fuck it, for my american friends and my own sanity so I don't have to fight the references in my head anymore:

drakengard locations as they are/might be in europe

to note the scale of the map is a BIT wonky so this will include multiple possibilities with questionable boundary lines

The Imperial Capital: Spain, though it looks like it also covers Portugal The Sky Fortress is in the Mediterranean Sea The Blue Mountains are between Spain and France The Ocean Fortress is in the Gulf of Biscay The Desert of the Moon is in Northern France, looks like it extends to Belgium and MAYBE also possibly the Netherlands?? The Temple of the Ocean Seal is in the North Sea The Winter Wastelands are in north Germany!! And the Silent Forest looks to be further south, with the Elf Village seeming to be around Bavaria or Austria and the Valley of the Faeries taking up a few possible places: Maybe a TINY stretch of Italy, Slovenia, and Croatia this is where it starts getting difficult since the map is compressed to all hell BUT The Forest of the Seal can also be pretty much the entire Balkans and a bit of South Europe lmao, that might be a strip of Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania, Macedonia, Kosovo, Serbia, a bit of Bulgaria??? maybe? going all the way down into what LOOKS like northern Greece (Right around the area of land by the Aegean Sea) The Castle of the Goddess is even more chaotic since it's RIGHT next to the Winter Wastelands which is North Germany, but,,,, also right next to what looks like the tip of the Black Sea???? so it's essentially a compressed East Europe which encompasses the Czech Republic, east Austria, maybbeeee a bit of Poland? Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, and part of Ukraine which is actually funny as fuck this is east europe land 😭 And then there's the Crimson Mountains, which looks a LOT more fitted to the Poland category as it's fitted right between the wastes/Nothern Germany and the tip of Sweden, and while mostly off-map MAY also cover a portion of the Baltics too (Latvia, Lithuania and Kaliningrad (Russia), MAYBE Estonia? but who knows....) Also, if it means anything Tokyo (where you access it in the menu) is in Greece, so... 😭 ofc it's mainly just there for spacing but it was worth noting regardless i think sdkghsdfkjhg
