This article pertains to Xenogears: the sub-database of Xenosaga Wiki. |
The unnamed planet is the planet in which Xenogears occurs. It is sometimes called "Earth" or "the earth" in-game, but it is unknown if this is the actual name for it. Regardless, it is not the same as Lost Jerusalem.
The planet has a ring system (seen during the introduction cutscene), and is orbited by an orange-red moon.
Geography[]
It can be divided into four "areas" or "regions":
- Top-left: Terrane - represents Earth
- Top-right: Ignas - represents Fire
- Bottom-left: Aquvy - represents Water
- Bottom-right: Elru - represents Wind
In the center, Solaris can be found, located high in the sky.
Shevat is the second of the two floating civilizations, migrating around the planet, occasionally docking at Babel Tower.
Society[]
Depending on the region, scientific advancement is dependent on the study and renovation of technology from past civilizations, with many economies springing up, centered around, or dependent on excavation.
On the continent of Ignas, two major countries Kislev and Aveh have been at war for three centuries.
The most wide-spread religion, the Ethos, acts in part to safeguard humanity and help collect artifacts from excavations, and is used by Solaris as a means of controlling the population on the surface.
The Nisan Orthodoxy has a local presence.
