The style capital of Gemlandia, where trends are being minted at every moment and each street doubles as a runway. Known for its towering skyline, myriad trendsetting clubs, and Gemlandia’s largest gem blending arena, Fashion City has much to offer for those from all walks of life. The sprawling metropolis has many distinct neighborhoods that offer everything from fine dining and live entertainment to federal institutions and gem investment banks. Fashion City’s rise corresponded with the end of the Great Gem Blender war and the proliferation of Electrogems, bringing forth the major electricity grid that powers the city. Fashion City residents are known for their apathetic attitudes, but that's only half-true. Just don't stop in the middle of the street to check where you’re going.

Known for its dense evergreen landscape, the entire state is a forest. Many small towns are scattered throughout the region, all sharing an appreciation for nature and the outdoors. Terragems are harvested from the canopies of the forest’s Great Conifers. The forest’s undergrowth serves as the habitat for a range of flora and fauna, along with plenty of Terragem blends. The state is Gemlandia’s capital for winter sports like Cryoblading and Rime Piercing. The Cone Expressway runs across the region, connecting Pinnacle Heights City to Nocturna Point — this is the primary path to get to Nocturna Point from the rest of Gemlandia because the terrains of Skyward Mountain and Tremor Ridge are so difficult to pass. Cone Forest inhabitants all share a common mindset: sit back, relax, and take a moment to enjoy the intricacies of life.

Largely rural, Lucio Fields is known for its many pastoral villages as well as being home to the Seminary of Lucio, the headquarters of the most prolific religion in Gemlandia. The other states of Gemlandia rely heavily on Lucio Fields for its food exports, especially Milk Herald milk. Lucio Fields is scattered with many small towns of inhabitants that live simple lives, taking advantage of the fertile soil and sprawling prairies. As the state is rich in Luciogem energy, many communities dedicate themselves to collecting and honoring these mystical gems, subsequently resulting in a pervasive problem of addiction to the Luciogem’s alluring effects.

The Royal Village was designated as a state to preserve Gemlandia’s royal heritage after the formation of Gemlandia United. At its center stands the Crystal Palace, a gleaming architectural marvel and symbol of the Royal Family’s contentious past. While the Royal Family still lives in the palace, they no longer have any governing power. Members of the family often travel throughout Gemlandia, performing various ceremonial and social duties. The only remaining functional remnant of the royal era is the Royal Guard, an army made up of Crystal Reflectors, Shard Busters, and Luster Strikers. Although not the same as it was at its peak, the army is still one of the most highly skilled Gem Blender armies in Gemlandia. Large icebergs line the waters off the icy northern tip of the state, from which all of the nation’s Cryogems are harvested.

Nocturna Point has often been a source of mystery and intrigue. Legend warns people not to visit the region because so many have gone missing or been converted to dark religious cults. Nocturna Point’s northern half houses a large desert with purple sand. Records of the Purple Desert describe the area’s magical and mysterious properties. Those who enter are said to lose track of time and space – one could be traveling for an hour and it only feels like minutes, or vice versa – not to mention reports of hallucinations, mirages, and spiritual visions. The bulk of the state’s population lives in the southern half, referred to as the Nocturni. The Nocturni are an insular people who dedicate themselves to mining Nocturnagems from the Purple Desert, giving them firm control over Gemlandia’s entire Nocturnagem market. Nocturna Point has the largest daily temperature swing of any Gemlandian state. The Nocturni are well-adapted to the extreme climate, but any travellers should be warned to pack appropriately.

Just south of Fashion City across the Pylon Bridge, Resort Beach is a popular vacation destination for those trying to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is known for having beautiful weather and exciting tourist sites. Its West shore is lined with a variety of resorts while its East shore is dubbed the Aquaboarding capital of Gemlandia. Other notable sites include the Resort Beach Botanical Gardens, the Great Aquagem Reef, and the always popular Gull Aquapark. The archipelago south of the mainland is home to large swaths of preserved natural jungle – with the topmost island containing a large system of partially underwater caves.

Heavy use of the Angel blend prompted a migration to the summit of Skyward Mountain, the tallest point in Gemlandia. Since this initial settling, it has developed into a thriving community dedicated to Aerogem blends. The region is quite dangerous, especially if you can’t fly. Only a few brave explorers have ascended to the summit of Skyward Mountain solo – most have died trying. As the elevation is high, nearly all residents of Skyward Crest are Gem Blenders and very capable with Aerogems. In fact, it is assumed that all children of Skyward Crest will attend the AeroForce Academy and join the elite squad of aerial fighters known as the AeroForce. The AeroForce, established during The Great Gem Blender War to fight against the Royal Army, can be credited for the creation of iconic blends such as Fume Blitzer, Fleet Reacher, and Roost Bomber. Although Skyward Mountain is the most well-known, Skyward Crest is home to a large range of other mountains. Echo Peak is known for its unique curvature that greatly amplifies particular sound frequencies, while Silver Peak, encircled by rain clouds, houses one of the most diverse ecosystems in all of Gemlandia.

Tri-Gem Domain is a region designated as a no-blending zone. To ensure such measures are taken, the only permitted gems are Aquagems,Terragems, and Pyrogems because they alone cannot be blended. The region’s harsh laws relate to its philosophy that the ability to blend gems creates an inherent inequality, and is often misused by those in power. Known for their prolific rules and regulations, the Tri-Gem legislative body is based on the southern island. While often characterized as a more primitive offshoot of mainland Gemlandia, Tri-Gem Domain has developed in a different, more egalitarian direction than its continental counterpart.

Pinnacle Heights is the second most populated state of Gemlandia. Pinnacle Heights City, located at the northernmost part of the state, presents itself as a manageable alternative to Fashion City. At the center stands the QWN Tower, the tallest building in all of Gemlandia. The southern part of the state is largely suburban, attracting families because of the state’s renowned education system. Schools like Pinnacle Prep, one of Gemlandia’s premier schools for Gem Blenders, and The School of Gemology and Blendology, Gemlandia’s most rigorous academic institution, bring in many eager students from across the nation. In addition to being the top state for academia, Pinnacle Heights is Gemlandia’s hub of technological innovation. Pinnacle Heights students vie for competitive internships at newfangled tech startups that are at the forefront of Gemlandian engineering.

As the least habitable state of Gemlandia, Tremor Ridge features an extremely dangerous landscape. Known for heavy volcanic and seismic activity, as well as an extremely rocky shore that often gets hit by tidal waves, only the bravest individuals have explored the remote parts of this region. Tremor Town, located just across the Lucio Fields/Tremor Ridge border, is the only population center of the state. While small, Tremor Town has a long history of producing some of Gemlandia’s toughest and most resolute Gem Blenders. In the middle of Tremor Ridge lies a vast desert. Home to several Transcendentalist ruin sites, the desert attracts archeologists, treasure hunters, and mystics alike. Notably, Tremor Ridge is where the earliest traces of Gemlandia’s inhabitants have been found.

While it is not a state, Far Island functions as a high-security prison for Gemlandia. The island has no official governing body. However, a family of wardens runs the prison and organizes the transport of criminals from mainland Gemlandia through a large ocean barge. The island is also barren, completely lacking any gem deposits, making it a perfect location to keep criminal Gem Blenders captive.
