The Land of The Umajo
The seemingly largest continent on Albion consists mainly of barren desert, but it is also home to the Umajo, technologically (relatively) advanced descendants of the Celts, known for their metalwork. The Umajo live in a single city at the coast, surrounded by endless desert.
- Umajo-Kenta
The city of the Metal Makers, or the Umajo. It lies on the shores of the sea, but it's still so dry there that water is valuable. The Umajo here sell the best of all sorts of artificial goods, including exceptionally powerful non-magical weapons.
- The desert
The deserts surrounding Umajo-Kenta are the single largest terrain feature anywhere in the game. They cannot be exhaustively explored, and even what the player can access seems larger than all of Maini. The heat in the desert is so intensive that to survive there for long without getting dangerously exhausted, people need to use a special liquid called porenoil that can be obtained from Umajo-Kenta. Another hazard are the sand divers, strange animals shaped like some kind of insect larvae, which emerge from the sand and attack by throwing rocks. It's also quite possible and potentially dangerous to simply get lost.
The desert contains mainly sand, but at places it is also littered with strange rock formations. A secret way between these leads to an underground passage that can be used to reach yet another large area of desert.
- The prison
The Umajo have built their prison far in the desert, though they recommend it as a place for visitors to see for some reason. A guard goes there regularly every day and can act as a guide.

“Land of opportunity, land for the huddled masses—where would the opportunity have been without the genocide of those Old Guard, bristling Indian tribes?”
