I will not submit. For all that I must protect…I will deliver my people from their wicked king.

The Map of Orsterra (CotC Version)

Unlike the map in the original Octopath Traveler, this one has been expanded upon. There are plenty of new towns and cities!

Lands of Orsterra

For my own convenience, I’ve compiled some of the basic information about each region in Orsterra! These are coming from canon game facts, either taken from in-game quests/inquiries or from the JP Octopath website 

We get a lot of kingdom names here and since I can’t read Japanese, spellings vary / spoilers!

The Sunlands

Ruled by the Kingdom of Triberia

Kings are chosen at the Great Assembly, by the vote of the other chiefs

100 years ago, the twelve clans warred against each other for control of a small oasis

The Yashum Clan ended the strife by uniting the clans

The current king, King Khalim, and his daughter, Gloria, hail from the Yashum Clan

-

The Highlands 

Currently not ruled by any kingdom, unstable with strife

Was controlled by the Kingdom of Hornburg for 200 years until its downfall 8 years ago

The kingdom of Hornburg was founded by Beowulf, second prince of Ferien (which then ruled the Cliftlands and Riverlands), as a reward for his successful conquests

Last ruler was King Alfred, who was slain by Erhardt during the country’s civil war

Currently, the remaining lords are locked in a power struggle for the region

Known for: dairy farming, major paper/timber production, book archive

Also mentions of the Ventus Dynasty which had ruled in Everhold 300 years ago

Leading up to his death, Ventus III had introduced several reforms that brought a prosperous age to the kingdom under his son’s rule

After his son died, the kingdom fell into civil war

Two brothers (to put into perspective, Ventus III’s grandsons) fought over the throne; one the son of the queen, the other the bastard son of the king’s mistress

the illegitimate son was older and better of the two, but “only true blood matters, and the throne was his brother’s” (Ventus the Third quest line)

Simeon’s the younger brother who won the war

-

The Riverlands

Ruled by the Riven/Reeven Kingdom

Formerly was a part of the Kingdom of Ferien, until 150 years ago Ferien split

Fertile land, agricultural goldmine

Rivers are vital to trade industry

Church of the Sacred Flame has large influence (Saintsbridge)

10-12 years ago the Great Pestilence spread through the Riverlands

10 years ago Alfyn got sick (side note: Graham was 24 when he treated Alfyn)

The sickness was spread via the river (based on inquiry; it’s not explicitly labeled the Pestilence, but I think it’s likely that this is how it spread; the disease consumed all of the Riverlands, after all)

Same inquiry implies a significant number of deaths were from lack of a clean water supply; deaths from sickness and dehydration

Riverford had several disasters: within the last 27 years, its river has flooded, fires ravaged the town, their lord was overthrown

Currently ruled by King Richard

-

The Woodlands

Not a unified country, but autonomous villages and cities

Bordered by the Verdant Deep (the sea) on the west

Home to the Darkwood tribe and remnants of the Greenwood tribe (though the people of the Greenwood tribe were banished by the Darkwood; see: Ashlan)

Land appears to be shared with local lords (see: Lord Ciaran in H’aanit’s chapter 1)

-

The Cliftlands

Ruled by the Kingdom of Edras

Formerly was part of the Kingdom of Ferien, but likely became Edras after the Ferien princes’ battle over the throne 150 years ago, which had created the Riverland’s Kingdom of Riven/Reeven

Economy fueled by smithing industry and abundance in rock salt for trade

Home to wealthy nobles and hotspot for merchants

However, there is a stark divide between the wealthy and impoverished

Kingdom of Edras’ currency -- leaves -- are the major currency of Orsterra

Currently ruled by King Elman

-

The Frostlands

Autonomous cities

Home to Flamesgrace, where the main cathedral for the Order of the Sacred Flame resides

Thought of as the land where Aelfric descended

When Grandport invaded the Flatlands 200 years ago, the Church of the Sacred Flame allied with the Flatlands tribes to repel them; in thanks, the Flatlands tribes (Wald Kingdom) awarded them Flamesgrace*

-

The Flatlands

Ruled by the Wald/Wolde Kingdom

Home to the Royal Academy, where scholars study

In the past, was made up of eight tribes that constantly fought

The tribes united 200 years ago when the Kingdom of Grandport invaded

With the help of the Church of the Sacred Flame, they repelled Grandport and united into the Kingdom of Wald

Currently ruled by King Othred II, to be succeeded by Princess Mary

In the present, the Royal Academy seems to be spearheading medical research and treatment

-

The Coastlands 

Autonomous city-states

Formerly ruled by the Kingdom of Grandport which fell after they lost a war to the Flatlands 200 years ago

Fishing industry and trade thrive here

Significant damage from pirates/pillagers/private vessels

Often trades with the continent to the east (that we know nothing about)

The seas in the east are described as stormy

-

*unsure about this translation, but it makes sense to me since Atlasdam and Flamesgrace are very close to each other

I’m still going through the game and looking through JP content, but here’s what I’ve got so far! This might get updated as I find/amend things.

[coinsandmedicine]

Rules have been updated. I have added information on the availability of travelers.

We are currently in the Flatlands, heading for Atlasdam, where we will be having our halloween party!

I’m also still open for costume requests for Olberic, Therion, and H’aanit. I’ve gotten a few for Olberic to pick from, but I still need some for the other two! Requests close by the end of Sunday.
