[[Category:Areas]]

The Island of Elshimo lies off the south eastern shore of the continent of [[Mindartia]]. Reachable only by airship from [[Jeuno]] (requires an [[Airship pass for Kazham]]) , [[Teleport]] or [[Outpost Teleportation]], it is a mini-continent on its own. The island is divided into two regions, [[Elshimo Uplands]] and [[Elshimo Lowlands]].

'''[[Elshimo Uplands]]''':<br>
This region rests on the upper eastern half of Elshimo Island. Aside from a volcanic area known as [[Ifrit's Cauldron]] in the north, the landscape is mostly blanketed with a tropical rainforest that is home to the deadly [[Tonberries]] . The mere presence of these beastmen is enough to shun away all but the bravest adventurers.  

'''[[Elshimo Lowlands]]'''<br>
Compared to the [[Elshimo Uplands]], this region rests fairly close to sea level. With the exception of the volcanoes in the north, the area is characterized by its wide expanses of thick jungle. Due to the conflicting motives of the three main inhabitants of the region - the [[Mithra]] of [[Kazham]], the [[Pirates]] of [[Norg]], and the savage [[Sahagin]] - the lowlands are often wrapped in turmoil.
