ettlements in the vicinity of Fortunia on Gomahara are inhabited by natives. Most are cave dwellings with some exterior additions in native stonework. Gomahara was called Capraria by the ancients, due to its many goats. Each settlement is the center of a Menceyato, a region ruled by a Mencey, or "king."

Overlooking the northern coast, Gometis occupies caves and clifftop dwellings, with fields in the valley and herds of goats grazing on the hillsides.

This settlement near the southern coast controls the southern half of the island, with many herds of goats and sheep, although it receives less rain overall than the northern coast, and its fields are not as productive

The region around Fortunia, and to its south and west, is known as Orone by natives; a sacred area that, traditionally, was uninhabited, although herders sometimes graze goats in the area

Other isles include Benahoare and Ecros to the west, and Achinech and Tamaran to the east; further east and nearest to the mainland lie Tyterogaka and Maxorata.

Called Ombrion by the ancients, Benahoare is dominated by its active volcano, called Echeyde by the natives.

Ecros was known as Junonia to the ancients, after the goddess Juno. Women rule Ecros, both as witches and warriors, and men are subject to them in all respects.

Known as Ninguaria by the ancients, Achinech is the largest of the Fortunate Isles, and the nearest to Tamaran, Achinech is also the most populous, with nine Menceyatos.

Known as Canaria by the ancients, Tamaran was the original home of the people of Artenara, who know reside at Fortunia; Tamaran is beset by worshippers of Guayota, who control more than half the island.

Called Invale by the ancients, Tyterogaka is second-nearest to the mainland. Although not as flat as its neighbor Maxorata, it lacks the high peaks of the western islands.

Maxorata, the closest isle to the mainland, was called Planasia by the ancients, due to its relatively flat topography.
