Meizisia
The “capital city” of Overade. It’s one of the biggest cities in all of Gaidinia, harboring a huge population of Gaidinians. Often nicknamed the fashion capital, Miwai is well known for its modern architecture that frequently unitizes a lot of glass. Its citizens have the reputation of having an open-mind towards new things and people. It’s said that Kealeth loves to secretly visit the city and see how full of life it is. She doesn’t always bring along her Kemuchiis, who are left wondering about her whereabouts. They always try to find the goddess where she should be, to no avail.
A silent beast. It lurks and hides in the forests of Meizisia, never showing the humanoid face that carefully watches you. Zeroys are known for not engaging with people at all, they're shy loners but there are few Zeroys that live with their mates.
They're mentioned in various Meizisian legends and according to Gaidinians, their faces are often "familiar" enough to scare you, although they don't mean to hurt you. Just walk your way and they'll do the same.
Their eyes are goat-like.

The Towns of Meizisia
Eatable plant found only around the Castle Clair of Baruui. Only the roots are edible though, the green part of the plant is not tasty at all. It's said that once a year - in October, when the plant is ready to be harvested, the roots are glowing through the night. The citizens of Baruui have to guard the place as the wild animals in the nearby forests are attracted to the sight and smell of Noze.
The roots have sort of an earthy taste, a bit sweet but not too much. It could be compared to potatoes, although the taste is not the same.
Noze (pl. Nozei)
Les Duchov (The Ghost Forest) is dark and hostile place. Most Gaidinians try to not go there unless needed. Many dark witches live there though. It's dangerous to go there alone. It's always dark as if the place knew no sun. Casta is a small witch town in Les Duchov.

Baruui
Proud of the castle (known as Castle Clair), the people of Baruui consider the town to be one of the most beautiful in Gaidinia. It's said that Baruins (the citizens of Baruui) tend to be stern and serious, not friendly at all.
They're not bad, though. They just don't believe in pretty talking and acting all nice when you're not.
They always tell you their opinions, even if it's not something you'd like to hear.
A clan of Water Nyanarrs rule this city. The family uses the name Clair, hence the castle name, although many say it's not the real family name.
A town ruled by a family of Fire Nyanarrs - a clan named Naemiri (translates into "The fierce pack"). The town is named after them (translates into "The fiery land").
They moved into Meizisia hundreds of years ago and people said the Naemiri family is one of the original families of Zhrugh.
The town is, similar to Baruui, strict and stark, although a bit warmer in nature.
