---------------------------------------------------------
Grange is one of the many natural Newerthian
continents.[hr]NAME:
Pronunciation: xrónsi
IPA: /xrɑːnˈsiː/[hr]KNOWN LOCATIONS:[list]
[li]Eylsa Village: a village constructed by the ancient Heroine
of Coral, Eylsa, and thus one of the Eight Heroes' Villages. It
is north of Coral City. Eylsa's shrine is said to contain her
legendary swords, Gan Jiang and Mo Ye
HTML http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gan_Jiang_and_Mo_Ye.[/li]
[li]Witt Jungle Path: a path that goes through a jungle. The
monsters usually avoid people, or at least help them. It lies
between Eylsa Village and Coral City.[/li]
[li]Coral City: one of the Eight Cities of Neia. The capital
city of Grange, it is the main coastal city on the
continent.[/li]
[li]Cortège Hills: located between Eylsa Village and Eterna
Vale, this hilly area is extremely dangerous. Funerals are held
near the entrance, where dozens of people are buried every
week.[/li]
[li]Eterna Vale: this chilly valley is located between Cortège
Hills and Odas City. The river that flows through here is
commonly called the Eterna Rivier.[/li]
[li]Destiny Road: a path connecting Odas City and Coral City.
Construction of it finished on 13 March 2015.[/li]
[li]Odas City: aside from being a pun on "audacity", Odas City
is the scientific city on the continent. It is in the very
center of the Grange continent, where a mysterious tower is
constructed. People call this tower the "Locked Tower" as it
cannot be entered at all (at least, not as far as people know).
To the east lies Mount Grandia, and to the west, Mount Aidnarg.
North of Odas City is Calamitos Shrine.[/li]
[li]Mount Grandia: a mountain east of Odas City, it is rumored
to reach as high as thirty thousand feet above sea level. At the
very top is the Quoria Princedom.[/li]
[li]Quoria Princedom: located at the top of Mount Grandia, the
Prince and Princess rule the continent. The inhabitants often
battle corrupt Princes and Princesses if they have to, in order
to restore peace to the continent. The son or daughter of a
Prince/Princess, when they inherit the throne, can marry a
civilian and thus have that civilian become a princess or
prince.[/li]
[li]Mount Aidnarg: a mountain west of Odas City. Rumored to
reach as high as twenty thousand feet above sea level, it
contains the ruins of the old Quoria Kingdom, before the
continent became a principality.[/li]
[li]Quoria Kingdom Ruins: located on top of Mount Aidnarg. The
ruins of an ancient kingdom from over nine centuries ago.
Archaeologists are trying to find the castle entrance, but none
has succeeded thus far.[/li]
[li]Calamitos Shrine: a shrine to honor the memory of the first
Prince of Grange, sir Richaado Calamitos. Statues of each Prince
and Princess are built here, though smaller than the first
Prince's.[/li]
[li]Tachyon Tower: one of many towers on the continent. It is
located east of Mount Grandia. Little is known about it.[/li]
[li]Electron Tower: one of many towers on the continent. It is
located west of Mount Aidnarg. Little is known about it.[/li]
[li]Photon Tower: one of many towers on the continent. It is
located north of Calamitos Shrine. Little is known about
it.[/li]
[li]Neutron Tower: one of many towers on the continent, and the
northernmost tower in Nucleon Swamp. Little is known about
it.[/li]
[li]Proton Tower: one of many towers on the continent, and the
westernmost tower in Nucleon Swamp. Little is known about
it.[/li]
[li]Nucleon Swamp: a swamp to the west of Coral City. Ogres are
rumored to live here, with their king. While usually peaceful,
these ogres will attack if they feel threatened.[/li]
[li]The Locked Tower: a tower in the center of Odas City. It
appears to be impossible to enter. It seems to have five
spires.[/li]
[/list][hr]CURRENCY:
The currency of Grange is Overlay Stones. These stones were
found under Odas City, when it was constructed decades ago, and
people decided that it would make a good currency. Overlay
Stones seem to have swirling energy spheres orbiting it, and
nowadays mining them has become harder than beating Touhou
games. Nonetheless, Overlay Stones are plentiful enough on the
continent, and it is estimated that a thousand people can have a
thousand Overlay Stones, thus meaning that there are at least a
million Overlay Stones on the continent that can be used as
currency. Currently, the Prince and Princess are figuring out an
alternative currency in case Overlay Stones are
unusable.[hr]PRINCES AND PRINCESSES OF THE PAST:
This section will list the previous Princes and Princesses of
the continent.

they were vampires who weren't evil)[/li]

[li]Prince E and Princess Mayl (ruled from 745 to 1000; they

benevolently instead; they were also vampires)[/li]
[li]Prince Rasen and Princess Dori (ruled from 1000 to 1042;

[li]Prince Chiyuri and Princess Marlene (ruled from 1042 to

[li]Prince Yuri and Princess Chelinka (ruled from 1084 to

[li]Prince Sherlock and Princess Sherlotta (ruled from 1126 to
1186; Sherlock is often confused for Sherlock Holmes these
days)[/li]
[li]Prince Veriaulde and Princess Vera (ruled from 1186 to
1942; both were human but Veriaulde was cursed with immortality;
he resorted to using magic to turn his wife Vera into a
semi-magical creature that could not age)[/li]
[li]Prince Cheren and Princess Amenity (ruled from 1942 to 10
March 2001)[/li]
[li]Prince Generic and Princess Boring (ruled from 20 March

names and were elected democratically instead)[/li]
[li]Prince Il'dan and Princess Pryde (ruled from 11 March 2014
to present)[/li][/list]
When a Prince dies, the Princess can choose to remarry, if they
so wish. Likewise, if a Princess dies, the Prince can choose to
remarry.
If both die and there are no heirs, the new Prince and
Princesses are voted for democratically from a list of known
nobles of the continent (as was the case with Prince Generic and
Princess Boring).[hr]FUTURE:
The future of Grange looks bleak; Grange's air is constantly
polluted. It is estimated that, by 2030, the air pollution of
Grange will be so bad that gas masks will be needed just to be
able to breathe. What's more, nobody does anything about it, as
though they want it to happen.
