[There is a very, very long pause as he types this out.]
Fair warning, then. A good half of this is what I got from Reno and Sparks Nevada. They might need to confirm if some of this is right.
Before the world was wrecked by Kalki and her four Archfiends, there were three major continents with four major islands in the center and to the south.
To the north was the Lost Continent with the Temple of Wind and Trano Golsaucia to the west and Mythril Mines to the east.
The Continent of Balance was on the east with Aqures Ixen - our main city as "Heroes of Light" to the northernmost point in a place called the Calm Plains. Slightly northwest of there was the Monster Arena and south of it was the chocobo farm. Mognet Central was on an island northeast of the continent.
On the edge of the Calm Lands and the Desert of Roalie was the Republic of Esdham. Many of our own joined its military. The Ruins of Roalie were to the south and beyond that was the Chocobo Forest. There were other cities and the Temple of Earth, but the most important was the Imperial City of Hera. They were our enemies for some time, who came from a large island southeast of the continent of balance.
To the west was the Continent of Ruin. There were many ancient ruins to the south along with the cities of Downapolis and Aerilon on an island to the south. Mysidian Tower stood to the east of Downapolis and south of the Lunar Gate from what I've been told. I've only visited Mysidia, myself, which lay north of the bay of the Gate. There was also the Temple of the Heroes of Light southwest of there, and the Plains of Sorrow to the north. On the other side of the Plains was the Crystal Forest and the Crystal Life Tree, which hid the siphon used to absorb the life of other worlds into the First Crystal.
I don't know much about the islands other than one held the Temple of Water, but the most important island at the center was to the north and held the ruins of Aqures Tosf. The original home of the Crystal of Fire that most of us awoke by in A.I. and was awakened in order to start the cycle that summoned me and many others.
It's not a pretty story.
After... The Lost Continent remained mostly unchanged, though Trano Golsaucia was left in ruins. A village of Santa Claus sprouted up north of the mythril mines. I know it most because I woke up not far west of there. Do not recommend being buried in snow while wearing very thin clothes, by the way.
The Continent of Balance was split into three. Aqures Ixen became a ghost city overrun by Heroes who'd gone into stasis and their other selves took over. The calm lands became a mire. Every city otherwise was unlivable and abandoned. The chocobo forest was later known as cursed, and a village of "outcasts" was formed to the far west of the continent.
The Continent of Ruin split in two, the Temple of the Heroes of Light was forgotten as Aerilion II was formed north of the island it used to be. The Tower of Mysidia became "New Mysidia".
I don't know what happened to Old Mysidia, other than ti was taken over by the Archfiend of Fire. Was a little preoccupied with the Archfiend of Wind.
Aqures Tosf became known as Kalki's Castle. That's where the final confrontation occurred.
