Terca Lumireis

Terca Lumireis is the world in which Tales of Vesperia  occurs. There is a substance that suffuses the world called aer, which humans once used as a fuel to operate an ancient technology called blastia. The people live in fear of the hordes of monsters that crawl the earth and rely on the barriers created by blastia to defend themselves. Terca Lumireis is heavily controlled by the Empire, apart from the Guild Union and non-Union guilds, although there has been no emperor or empress several years prior to the events of the story.

Geography
There are six continents on Terca Lumireis: Ilyccia, Tolbyccia, Desier, Hypionia, Weccea, and Yurzorea. "Terca Lumireis" is actually the name of the center of the world. The Inner Ocean is surrounded by the six continents, while the Outer Ocean surrounds the six continents.

Trivia

 * The Empire began approximately 1,000 years prior to the events of the story. Before the Empire's reign, there was a time known as the Asule Period, which used a different calendar system than the modern one; one of its months was known as "Bluerre".
 * An unnamed emperor in Terca Lumireis' recent history had a brother named Regin, also known as the "King of Adventure". He once led an exhibition known as the "Regin Expeditionary Force", which sought to defeat all the world's "Giganto Monsters", but they were defeated. Rich, who operates the "Wandering Traveler" with his lover Karen, stated his father was the only surviving member of this force.
