The Baku Directorate has cracked down hard on any dissent in the nation, and mages not in service to the regime are systematically branded or exiled.

* The Hydra's Den: The only major understory in India, the Hydra's Den only exists today due to extreme lobbying from both the White Cross and Indian Mage Association, as all others were systematically dismantled following the Red Moon Crisis. 
* Karachi Understory: This vibrant understory was originally built into the ruins of Karachi as a temporary tent city to help ease the overwhelming humanitarian crisis after nuclear Armageddon.

Instead, the tent city would be polished and built up by its population, and become the center of mage activity in Industan.

* Nay'pyi'daw: Given by the Myanmarian government during the post-revolutionary relocation of the capital to Yangon, Nay'pyi'daw is possibly one of the best examples of tearing down the chains of the past, and giving it to the people to reforge into something new, and better.

* Chrysopaea: 
* God's Cradle: An underwater cave system located halfway down the slope of the Ancient Mould, home to the Shamurna spider-prophets.
