Rashugal

Rashugal (ラ・シュガル) is one of the two countries of Rieze Maxia in Tales of Xillia and Tales of Xillia 2. The country occupies the forested and valley-oriented southern hemisphere of the world under the rule of King Nachtigal I. Fenn and is frequently involved in power struggles with the neighboring country of Auj Oule.

Geography
Rashugal lies to the south of the great bay that separates it from Auj Oule. To the west, it connects to its northern neighbor through Fezebel Marsh, an autonomous area that has become notorious for its dangerous terrain. The wetlands extend down through the Arklund Quag (アルカンド湿原), eventually fading out farther south, whereabouts lies the elaborate capital city of Fennmont, which is cloaked in a nighttime spirit clime and boasts the advancement of spirit artes, yielding both the Laforte Research Center and Orda Palace. South of the capital, the forested Barnauer Highroad (バルナウル街道) trails downward into Fort Gandala, a military base located in a barren region.

Extending from Fort Gandala east is the Talys Highroad (タラス街道), which leads to the large, commercial city of Sharilton, a relatively peaceful city where traders and merchants gather. Culmar Trail (クラマ街道) extends south of the city, leading into Bermia Gorge, a barren, rocky area plagued by a windy spirit clime. Northeast of Sharilton lie the Sapstrath Highroad (サマンガン街道); Sapstrath Deepwood, a densely-forested area; and Sapstrath Seahaven, which serves as Rashugal's only port, aside from the one attached to Fennmont.
