- | The parts of the Kurago that reflect the world of Jaern are the homes of the Jaernian nomad spirits: ancient beings who perished in the destruction of Torandor. While there is no substance to the Kurago it resembles the worlds it is parallel to. Reality has a reflection within the Kurago. The longer a building is in use the more it will appear in the Kurago. If a building is abandoned in the actual world its reflection will fade with time.

Any living being who remains in the Kurago too long runs the risk of losing themselves, becoming lost without help and unable to find their way back to the material world... until their body fades away and they become a spirit themselves. Souls cannot survive withing the Kurago for more than 24 hours. After this time the soul will die leaving behind the spirit of the individual. This loss often time causes the mind of the being to lose some of its sanity. | Any living being who remains in the Kurago too long runs the risk of losing themselves, becoming lost without help and unable to find their way back to the material world... until their body fades away and they become a spirit themselves.

The Grand Plaza is also home to the Spirit King's Palace and the Pyramids of El. |

It is customary to come to the Spirit King bearing gifts. | ||
+ | * **Pyramids of El:** These four pyramids surround the palace, firing off beams of pure spiritual energy that surround the city and prevent it from fading away, as well as preventing any dangerous Delves from forming within city limits.

- | Market District: | + | The landscape of the Minami Reflections is a calm forest in a perpetual state of spring or fall, with trees that can range from normal sizes to giant trees the size of buildings. Strange spiritual fauna can be found, many of which are mythological beings from Abundance myth such as Raikougan yokai, Ruefang illuminated beasts, or Ulosian kupua. The woods are surrounded by fog, and strange rocky outcroppings. The villages here follow the traditional architectural style of the Abundant Expanse. |

The binding grounds often has mystical images that fade in and out, whispers of long dead loved ones or friends, sometimes even full hallucinations designed to test the new guardian spirit and the initiate nomad to see if they are compatible while they converse. | + | |

- | Even the spirits of the Kurago may not know much about the Kurago Delves. They are deep, dark places, reflecting what is most wild and unknown about the material realm - and, at the same time, holding perhaps the most valuable treasures and secrets the Kurago has to offer. The spirits that inhabit Delves are thought to be overall more hostile than those who live in the Mists, and rarely interact with the Cefa' | + | |
