Limbus destroyed the Azurian Archway, but the school rebuilt this area with Cherry blossom trees that bloom with brilliant small flames. Fields of grass with white marble paths will guide people deeper in to the campus. In the center of the garden is a black marble dedication to all whom died upon Limbus entering the world, a memorial to remind us all of the coming fight. The inscription upon it saying "The world was saved so that we might save each other." The underground tram was rebuilt so that it could drop students off here rather then under the tower.

The mages of Red Claw hold to date the largest collection of books, poetry, and works collected from across the world since the Library of Alexandria itself. This place holds a copy of all records obtained from the guild, all freely given to those students in pursuit of knowledge. Needless to say there is also stellar computers free for student use, and a restricted section, which access is granted to only on a strict basis.

A rather trendy internet cafe that began its popularity recently in the city of Fukuoka. Enso represents artistic enlightenment, and the internet is technically a place where every artist in the world may gather. Thus, close to a hundred top notch computers and a cafe offering snacks, coffee, and some of the finest teas this side of India was allowed to open within the school.

Once there was two, now there is but one building. This building is actually a hollow circular shape because in the battle against Limbus, Wessix slammed these two buildings together to create a flux of magical energy. On the bright side, your dormitory is nearly indestructible and still a semi-overlapped pocket dimension.

In order to combat the invasion of Limbus, the majority of school structures were magically pulled in to the R&D tower to reform as the Tower of Vox. The plaza holds the map and charts to get any member of the Azura or Avalon project headed in the right direction, and it also holds the school's auditorium.

The Health labs were relocated to this section of the tower, accessible either by several elevators or by stairs. Rather then being just an area to patch wounds, this section also focuses on studying the biology of all living creatures. All equipment is top notch, and the beds are so comfortable the nursing staff sometimes has to throw students out.

Despite being compacted into three floors, the science and technology area maintains its supply of computers, high tech equipment, and government projects that all members of the Azura and Avalon project are welcomed to pull apart and retool.

The Offices of Emanuel Wessix and the Warden have been relocated here. Francis Oliver Grimm now also has an office on site here, which unlike the other two he may frequently be found at. Above the offices is the inaccessible rooftop where the school's Ascendant Spire is kept.

The Bushido Chambers and Gym area were relocated beneath the Tower of Vox thanks to the Ascendant Protocol. While the gym is just a regular hard wood floored workout area, the Bushido Chambers use the latest holographic technology mixed with illusion magic to create any situation or world you can dream of to train with. Safety protocols do prevent you from locking people in the chambers or from turning the no kill rule off.

The head of Akitsjin Trail, the largest mountain still standing, heat radiating from its peak. This active volcano is responsible for the life of the island, and makes up the entire southern shore. It should be noted that almost the entire mountain is covered in a thick forest thanks to volcanic soil.

To the west of the school grounds curling along the western coast of the island, a range of mountains, slowly diminishing into mere hills as it travels north, this range cut by constant coastal winds makes this range is formidable barrier to the ocean beyond its hills.

This large river splits the center of the island nearly in half, running from tail of the Akitsjin range in the Northwest to the Shoubu Swamps running year round in spite of even the bitterest of winters.

These dense swamplands are to the east of the school, thick enough to be considered a jungle. Locals avoid this region of the island, for the vengeance of the Shoubu spirits.

The crown jewel Tetsuhana Bridge was forever broken between the reality warping power of Limbus and the incredible time and energy freezing powers of Dr. Grimm. The half that remains is a black and twisted shape that leads from the school into dark waters. Even stepping into this area will cause your heartbeat to increase from the raw element of fear, and who knows what awaits where the bridge meets the water. Limbus Area Manager: Shadow Dragon 24

Once a mere gateway in the swamps has now metamorphosed into a sinister dry land forest with brittle ground and ancient dead trees made of stone. Even the sky looks unearthly in this place, could it be possible that those who enter here are no longer on earth at all? Stay sharp though, because the forest and those that dwell within it are out to claim more lives. Limbus Area Manager: Shadow Dragon 24

The collapsed pocket dimensions of the old dual dormitories have merged and warped, creating this alternate universe where dreams become reality. Navigating through the dreams is the only way to escape the realm. Limbus Area Manager: Iron Angel

The door has been FOUND!
The Illusive Door, thought to be only a rumor, has stepped forth from the shadows. It seeks out students who bare the Limbus Bracelet, and invites them in. What could the door be trying to tell you? Hurry. Enter the door, before it disappears again! (This forum will disappear and reappear, pending on if the challenge is open. The door could close at any time, so don't miss your opportunity!)

The first step off the Tetsuhana Bridge, Hakata Port is flooded with history. The landing site of the Mongolians has been renovated into a museum spanning Asian history, and the port itself has become more active than ever with the school. Ferries for the weary walkers and cyclists can transport the students to and from the mainland.

Built in the early Edo period, the majestic Maizuru Castle overlooks the sea and the island. Declared a national historic site by the Japanese Government, the majority of the grounds have become a vast park. The courthouse, a famous baseball stadium and an art museum are some of the many features of the park with the mossy, stone gates watching over them.

Simply put, the business district. With the school up and coming, the city looks bright. Skyscrapers tickle the blue underbelly of the sky, shining with glass and steel. A Red Claw headquarters sits in the north end of the district while a new Office of Human Affairs is under construction to the south.
