Liaoyan, the forest city, is a delightful place to visit, though staying for any length of time is not recommended. A place dominated by traditional concepts of honour, Liaoyan has yet to move fully into the Modern Era. The city itself is built into the trees, and the architecture is very impressive, but there are few inns here and almost no entertainment available to travellers, making the sparse living conditions desirable only to see the architecture and then retreat to more hospitable climes.
Huinin, once known as the Summer City, is off limits to any travellers carrying machinery of any sort. The lack of hospitality to travellers makes this a city to avoid at all costs, lest one leave the fair island of Rosuto-Shima with a foul taste in one's mouth.
The farming city of Linan, called the Star of the South, is perhaps the best place to experience what Rostuo-Shima must have been like before the enlightenment found in technology made its way to the island. The neighbourhood pubs, called here sakedokoros, serve pleasant local vintages and feature more rustic pleasures. Walking tours make this district popular for adventure-seekers and explorers; otherwise, the city and surrounding countryside hold little interest for travellers more interested in the comforts of home.
Kara Kora is a city located in the middle of a vast desert. If the climate weren't harsh enough to keep travellers out, the city is filled with people called the Keshou, a strange race of savage creatures that seem to have a way with machinery. The city is filled with the sounds of explosions all day long, and the dangers of being blown up in an experiment gone awry feel very real.
Though no more hideous race has been seen in the entire world, the Jinteki-Oni look far fiercer than their true demeanour. Their small city in the mountains, known as Tendou, is a place of spiritual retreats, and many are able to find solace there. Tendou is very small, but in spite of its size, there are several places open and inviting to travellers, and those seeking out a place for beautiful views and kind neighbours will surely find it in Tendou.
Talu, a city where pirates run amok and crime goes unchecked, is to be visited only by those seeking adventure and danger. The city is built out onto the water, connected by a series of floating barges. The most effective way to travel is by boat, and it is said that the sky over the water offers some of Rosuto-Shima's most beautiful sunsets. Those enjoying the view, however, should pay close attention to their wallets and hand bags as well, or they may find it difficult to afford passage home.
