"Hi, I'm Kitara.

I may always have the face of a 9- or 10-year-old, but I've been living in Erinn for xx years now... um...

Just think of me as someone like the NPC Tin!

Today, I want to take a little trip through the 10 prettiest places in Erinn, at least in my eyes!"



Map of Erinn

Erinn is broadly divided into 1) the Uladh Continent, 2) the Iria Continent, and 3) the Belvast Autonomous Region.

1. Tir Chonaill

The very first village for adventurers.

There was a time when people would light campfires in this square and play instruments together!

When I first arrived in Erinn, I saw someone performing here and got so emotional because I thought it was a welcome ceremony for me.

2. Sen Mag Castle Ruins (Fishing)

Did you know?

It was like this before too, but even more now! It's one of those places people barely even realize is there, but there's a lake tucked away in the residential castle ruins~

Sen Mag feels especially memorable to me because it's where my acquaintance 르냥 proudly told me they'd become castle lord for the very first time!

Fishing here let you spend your time slowly and quietly, almost like a hermit, even back when everything else felt lively and crowded.

This was actually a place my younger brother Noie came to more often than I did!

You want to come back to Sen Mag Castle Ruins again?

Don't worry~ just mine a Moonstone, keep it on you, and use it on the day you want to return!

You should be able to come right back.

3. Dunbarton Library - Mysterious Library

Have you ever been to the school in Dunbarton?

No matter whether you come in the day or at night, this place is always filled with dazzling light, and it was such a lovely spot to gather with friends, chat for a while, or take pretty pictures.

And for anniversary events over the past few years, the 'Mysterious Bookshelf' has opened here too, so it's also a place where you can see the black cat Jets and books stretching all the way up toward that impossibly high ceiling~

4. The Lake Beside Emain Macha Cathedral

Emain Macha, that gorgeous lakeside city!

Of all its corners, I especially loved the fishing spot beside the cathedral.

At some point while I wasn't looking, they even built a performance stage across the way~

I always loved watching the cathedral's reflection ripple beneath the lake.

And don't forget to enjoy the warm stained-glass light too~!

5. Taillteann

I still remember the day the road to Taillteann was first opened!

The town ringed by magnificent walls, and that old-fashioned village music, made my heart flutter like I'd somehow stepped back into a faraway medieval age~

6. Karu Forest

One of my favorite places! The sky above Karu Forest!

If someone asked me to name a scene that stayed in my memory after Mabinogi,

I think it might be Karu Forest, all drenched in sunset as evening settles in~

Just gliding here makes me feel at peace~

After sundown, Karu Forest turns so pitch-black it can even feel a little frightening, but Ketch says that's part of what makes it so thrilling~

7. Ant Hell

Have you ever wandered through an endless maze?!

When I got trapped in Ant Hell for the first time, I was so scared I can't even tell you~!

I'm awful with directions!!

This way was blocked, that way was blocked, and no matter how long I kept going, I ended up right back where I started....

I even caught myself wondering if I was going to live there forever!

But then you find treasure,

and you notice light leaking down from the surface,

and before you know it you're just standing there, mouth open, staring up in a daze.

I'll never forget how happy I was on the day I finally found the exit!>_<

8. Connous Beach

This is a place I only found out about relatively(?) recently!

I ended up going because of an event....

And wow, while I was away, Iria had changed that much!

It honestly felt like I'd arrived at a resort in the middle of the Mediterranean.

If you want to heal a little while looking out over an emerald sea,

then definitely come visit Filia, near the Elves' desert.

9. Lake Calida

Who came to this lake to collect falling stars? (2013 event)

Me, me~!!

If you spot a dragon on the hill by Lake Calida, don't be too surprised~!

It's a good dragon....

When you sit here watching Palala and Eweca rise and set, all your worries seem to disappear.

10. World Tree

And the last scenic spot in Erinn that I chose is!

The World Tree near Avalon in Belvast.

There was a little stretch of time when I couldn't come to Erinn~

So when I came back and saw that a region with such a wonderful name had appeared, I was honestly surprised.

I love big trees, so when I first came here, I remember circling around it for quite a while.

I still haven't progressed it because I keep saying I want to save the mainstream story, so I don't actually know this place's true nature(!?) yet....

But even so, just imagining what kind of place it might be makes my heart beat a little faster.

Someday, in this mysterious region, I dream of the day I'll finally continue the Mabinogi story....

(...They're telling me to do the main story already...)

Blessings to the travelers of Erinn….

Mabinogi Eternity, often called 'Mabinogi Unreal,' is currently recruiting alpha testers.

I really wondered if it would truly move forward, so seeing it keep steadily making its way ahead like this makes me feel proud, a little impressed, and even like there's something to learn from it.

When Mabinogi Eternity is finally revealed, I think this post will become a memory too, someday.

Hoping that day comes...
