Topography

– The Wena Islands are a collection of islands in southwest Astoltia, with beautiful beaches and nature spread across each island
– In the northern islands, there are various jungle areas overgrown with trees, such as the Tropical Rainforest and the Keracona Primeval Forest
– Beaches have palm-like trees, and the crystal clear sea is filled with beautiful coral reefs.

– “Nekojima” is an island inhabited solely by monsters that look like cats
– The cat people, which understand human speech, are said to live there

Wetlings, The Water People

– A race that lives with freedom on the beautiful islands of Wena
– They are sensitive, and value love and songs
– They can swim better than other races, likely because of the fins on their ears and back
– The Wetlings have a unique marriage custom in which the groom gives the bride a seashell, and the bride returns the feeling with a song
– Maybe because they are descendants of a race that originally lived in the sea, fish-loving cats are not the Wetlings’ cup of tea
