Foreas has two major landmasses of interest. The first is Concordia, which is highly representative of Foreas as a whole (huge forests, thick canopies, rocky escarpments, swift rivers, and waterfalls). The second is Valverde, which is dominated by higher humidity and closer proximity to the equator (filled with swamps, marshes, wetlands, and vibrant pools of water). Cartographers spread each landmass into a number of geographical regions, six of which are readily accessible. None of these areas are untouched by war; there are places that have been corrupted and poisoned by the Bane. Vicinities around the front lines and forward bases are also scorched or scarred from constant battle.
AFS members will first arrive on Foreas in Concordia Wilderness, located in the northwestern area of the continent currently under AFS control. Subsequently, Concordia Wilderness represents Foreas in its most untouched, natural state. It's a heavily forested area that contains a Forean village, Alia Das, a human military base camp, and vital clues regarding Eloh artifacts. On the other side of the landmass, far to the southeast, is Concordia Palisades, where the Bane have cut a huge swath through the forest for their localized base of operations. Concordia Divide splits the landmass down the middle, through which the River Concord flows.
