Long overdue, I know, and still in progress. This will be updated as I have time to write up each information section and will eventually include the worldmap, with all current locations.
If you want to help by providing some information about any of the towns or characters that I currently don't have listings for, please PM Kilnarak with the information.

Settlements and Places of InterestSpiderlandThe northern-most continent on the planet of Pohono, named by the initial landing team for its spider-like shape due to it's many peninsulas. The northern-most reaches of the continent are mountainous and have a fairly cold climate, however as one moves south the climate becomes more temperate. Much of the continent was originally forest, however after human settlement some land - particularly at the southern-most tip - has been cleared for farming. The northern drop-ship, the Phoenix, landed in a mountainous region near the southern tip of the continent. Major Cities Sayaie
The first city founded on the Northern Continent lies fairly close to the original landing site. The spacecraft is now largely destroyed and was quickly covered and consumed by the native flora, however the city still stands as one of the strongest in Spiderland. Much land directly surrounding the city, as well as a swath of land continuing up the peninsula to the river, has been cleared for farmland. While the city itself is fairly well fortified against koxi attacks, the outlying farms are often struck by the monstrous creatures. There are a large number of guard in the city, and sections of it are densely packed with buildings. Sayaie boasts one of the largest markets in all of Spiderland, and many and various goods can be acquired there - including some relics of old Earth, preserved after the crash.

The Aethylis Isles
Technically a part of the northern continent, this chain of islands is largely overlooked by citizens of Spiderland. The Aethylis Isles are a mix of stone and shallow earth. While a large variety of vine-like shrubs, and a few pale trees have managed to take root there, the terrain is ill-suited for farming. There do not appear to be any large animals on the Isles, and few predators. The wildlife that has been glimpsed there appear to be shy and reclusive - as well as uncommonly small. BazialaThe southern-most continent on the planet of Pohono. The climate ranges from temperate to hot, and the continent itself is split near in half. Much of the northern half of the continent is taken up by jungle, however a few areas - particularly along the rivers - have been cleared for farmland. Deep jungles lie along the continent's mountains. The southern half of the continent is divided from the north by a range of high mountains. In the south-west, the land is mostly scrub and plains. In the south-east there is a large desert, pock-marked with oases here and there. The southern drop-ship, the Roc, landed just off the coast near what is currently the Southern Eyrie. The ship has since been dragged farther out by the tides, however. On clear days, it can be seen as a vast sunken behemoth, biding its time on the ocean floor. Major Cities The Southern Eyrie
Dermire
Stoneridge
Maiea
Estya
Estya is the most recent inclusion into the cities of Baziala. Until recently, the settlement was little more than a gathering of fishing huts and a few leaky boats. Since the arrival of the northerners, however, the small village became a buzz of activity and is now growing to the scale of a real city. A great port and ships are being constructed in Estya to facilitate travel to the north.

Fone GaokerenaThe largest continent on Pohono, Gaokerena is also known as the Eastern Continent as it lies to the east of both Spiderland and Baziala. Little is known about the continent, as it is largely unexplored. In especially cold winters, chunks of ice form over the water between the north-eastern tip of Spiderland and the northern-most reaches of Gaokerena, however the frigid seascape is fraught with perils - heavy snow, extreme cold, no shelter, and giant leviathans that rise from beneath the ice to hunt. A few explorers from the southern continent - both simourv and human alike - have tried to make the flight to the Eastern Continent, however none have made it all the way and returned to tell of it.

K'tani is from Wellton, and E'nei is from Sayaie.
Mo'tu's home village is unnamed, but described; we could pick one (assuming whoever else is from there agrees with the description) or make up another. S'ra is of green Mothiph, and F'lia of red Teraph is also from an unknown town.

Fe'ra is from Chydyn. Alonso is from Dermire. H'ton of Blue Norloph is from the Eyrie (where he and his brother made saddles/flying straps for the simourv), although before he was located at Itnala.
