Gleaming Sands - Town on the northeastern coast of the prefecture, serving as prefectural capital, home to a number of beachfront teahouses and resort inns for patricians and poorer Dynasts. The port here is not large, but has been developed to dock luxury yachts and passenger vessels.

Eternal Spring – Village on the northwestern coast of the prefecture, home to the luxurious Cynis-operated resort known as the Escape of Eternal Spring, popular amongst vacationing Dynasts. The resort and village are located atop a low limestone cliff, which descends to the white sand beaches that give the White Coast its name. The cliff is pocketed with caves that can be explored at low tide, and here and there winds stir stretches of white sand atop the cliffs to descend in sandy waterfalls, standing beneath which is said to clear the skin and stabilize essence.

Goose Beak Spire - Fortified lighthouse-manse centrally located along the prefecture's coast.
