Here's some locations to hold you guys over. These will largely be the same list I'll post in the OOC, but any suggestions I get now could make it better when I post the OOC. We will most likely not visit all of these places, but they will be referenced and will be good to know just in case a place is mentioned that you guys might like to visit.

LocationsThe following is a list of various locations that may be visited over the course of this roleplay, along with a brief description to give you the idea of what it's like without flooding you with detail. Only the most notable locations are added to this list, so you can assume that there are many more smaller locations that do exist but are just not referenced here. More information on certain locations may be requested. Feel free to suggest additional locations of your own or expand on my ideas. If some of the things are named poorly, you may suggest a name change as long as it has not yet been named within the IC. You may add small things without approval to your posts, but huge cities, mountain ranges, etc. should be run by me first. The locations will be organized by body part.
Chakra PointsThere's a spiritual shrine located at each of the locations where
chakra points are believed to be located on the body. They are all found on her front side. Religious people often travel by foot through all of these chakras in a row once a year, starting at the root chakra. They believe they can help the flow of energy travel through the goddess's body to keep her healthy, so they wave special staffs around that are believed to be able to direct the flow of energy. This entire journey often takes them around a month.
HeadAlthough one would think it would be an important area to live, it's mainly for religious purposes and not highly populated. The surface area is too small and the hair takes up most of the top and back, leaving little room for large cities. A lot of the landscape is gentle, however.
Heaven's Crown- This is the largest holy city and is situated right in the middle of her forehead. Some people live here permanently, but most of the inhabitants are outsiders who are visiting for many different reasons.
Fallicall Forest- This is the area of her scalp where the hair sprouts from. It's like a forest of golden pillars that extend upwards as far as they eye can see and far past, floating weightlessly off of her head. They are as thick as the largest redwood trees and are so sturdy that an average human cannot cut them. There's enough room to travel between the hairs, but it doesn't leave enough room for full range of motion. Few structures are built here, or even allowed, besides the shrine for the purpose of the chakra points at the very tip of the head.
Twin Lakes- Two massive lakes found underneath each eye as if tears had collected there, as one depressing urban legend states. Only the nose extends upwards to divide the lakes and allows passage to the lower portion of the face unless you're willing to travel all the way around the lakes to where the ears are. That being said, the twin lakes make up a vast majority of the middle of her face.
Grand Ridge- Otherwise known as her nose, which is a massive mountain on the outside and a deep cave on the inside. No reason to explore the cave, as it can be incredibly dangerous the further inside you get. The outside, mountainous region of the nose is mostly just a pathway utilized to get passed the twin lakes as a shortcut, so doesn't have many large cities but a bunch of smaller rest stops.
Eternal Chasm- The mouth, which is partially open. This is a highly dangerous place to venture, such as any of the Goddess's insides. If you fall in then you'll be unable to get back out again and will be dissolved, the only bright side is that at least you'd probably die from the fall before that happens. Due to how slippery it is the odds of an accident are likely if you're not extremely careful. Some religious fanatics have been known to throw themselves or sacrifices inside.
Naple- A city on the back of her neck. Known as a resort town and a perfect place to watch the glittering golden hair flow overhead. It's also on the easiest path on or off the head with smooth slopes rather then traveling along the front where the chin is.
Fortune's Drop- The largest drop possible on the entire body; from the top of the chin down to the neck. It's a long hike down.
TorsoThe torso is divided into 3 sections. Upper and Lower are on the front side and are divided by her arms that are tucked against them, forming a mountain range. The third region is the back, which has a ton of rugged wilderness while the front upper section is known as the most urbanized area on the body, having multiple large cities in close proximity. The lower region is the warmest point on the body while the upper region can get a tad on the chilly side during certain seasons.
Hearthrown- The trading capital and highly defended city found over her heart. This is easily the second most important city on the entire body as far as most people are concerned.
Lung Lake- Found over her right lung, actually being as large as an ocean, but the phrase lung lake had a better ring to it then lung ocean, so that name stuck even after they fully realized how large it really was.
Central Pass- The most well funded and longest road on the body leading all the way from the upper and lower areas of the torso. Most importantly it travels through the point where her arms leave the torso to extend upwards into the sky; the easiest pathway through the mountain chain to lead to the lower body. It's obviously a well traveled path with many pit stops and a wave of travelers at all times.
Grand Mine- Like the grand canyon, but it's more circular and found where the bellybutton is. Central Pass doesn't travel much lower then this point.
Spinal Chain- Home to both the largest and longest mountain chain that runs along most of the spine, although some areas are passable without too much difficulty such as the smallest ones near the top, which can be traversed with a gentle hike.
High Blade Region- The shoulder blades provide sturdy support for buildings, home to the most military bases on the backside of the body with the headquarters being situated between them on a well defended part of the spinal chain.
Fertile Zone- Found just below the mountains of the spinal chain, this area of land is heavily mined for the Goddess's cells and produces most of the ones used for the warriors.
ArmsHer forearms largely rest against her torso and are mountainous, but they do extend off of her torso at the end so that her two hands are free floating out in front of her, her right hand cupped inside of her left, fused together by earth. This area is very fertile, far less rocky then her forearms and much warmer then her frigid upper arms, thus having a vast majority of the population of her arms despite not taking up nearly as much area. The fingers extend into the sky as far as the eyes can see if you're standing on the palm. They do not act as mountains to climb, but instead have gravity so you can walk around the fingers on all sides. The fingernails are safe zones because there are no pores on them, so thus cannot be taken by surprise attacks from below so easily. The elbow regions are the most hostile, experiencing earthquakes at the slightest bend of the arm as they float in space. Luckily they don't bend too often, but when they do it can be disastrous the closer you are to the joint.
Grand Palalm- A majestic, huge capital city found in the middle of her right palm. There are many generations of buildings here, some of them as old as the first days of habitation on the body. Due to her scooping them all up from their dying planet those thousands of years ago using this hand, they still have a soft spot for it.
Knuckle Gates- Walls known as Knuckle Gates are built on each of the fingers just above the knuckles, so you must pass security to get through.
Upper Solace- The largest city on the arms, not counting the hands, found on the upper right arm just under the shoulder. Being the big city amongst a bunch of smaller ones, a lot of people in the area travel here often. The right arm is more popular then the left, which is mostly wilderness and even colder then the already chilly right arm.
LegsThe left leg is the most fertile part of the body, having the most farmers who often bring their harvest up to the torso region through the central pass where it can then be spread further around the body. There are honestly not that many large cities around but a bunch of smaller ones and rural areas. Their way of life is considered the most down to earth and carefree if stereotypes are to be believed. The right leg is a little more urbanized, but not quite as much as the upper torso. The legs bend at the knees, and like the elbow the knees are also prone to earthquakes at the slightest movement so are best avoided unless you must travel upwards from the lower leg, but those in the lower leg tend to prefer isolation anyways. Most of the people live on the thighs instead. The soles of the feet have a lot of pores which makes it subject to a high ratio of attacks relative to the surface area. The right foot is almost entirely frigid while on the left foot only the toes are. A lot of military bases are built on the soles as a result to get an early strike on any possible invasions.
Archalladese- Found on to bottom of her right heel, this is the largest city to be found on the feet. It is powerful and militaristic, able to take care of themselves in this harsh environment. They are considered the last line of defense if any large invasion force appears and tries to travel up the leg and have built a large wall around the ankle.
Observation Ring- Found along the toes of the right foot, the threat of monster attacks actually decrease along this area as the nails provide a ton of protection more so then any point of the body besides large cities and the cold is bearable due to multiple large magical lanterns scattered around that provide heat. This is the furthest area out from the body so provides excellent observation of the surrounding cosmos, the original reason for bright minds to travel here and stay, thus leading to more and more innovation coming from this reason as the population increases. The long trek down and the still admittedly cold temperatures is the primary turnoffs for a visit.
