Located in the South of the Kingdom within the Klaipėda region, the city of Klaipėda is one of the main cities in the world of Tree of Savior. The city is connected to West Siauliai Woods, the starting point for all the new Revelators. Klaipėda is considered the main administrative region of the kingdom with mining as the city's main industry. The prosperity of the city is mostly attributed to the crystal mined from the Siauliai's Crystal Mine in the past. In present days, the city is going through a difficult time; with the circulation of goods nearly extinguished and the city flooded with refugees from other regions because of Medzio Diena. The city is also home to several class masters such as Cleric Master Rozalija and Knight Commander Uska, the Templar Master and the city's ruling general.

The city's name was actually based on Klaipėda, the capital of Klaipėda County and the third largest city in Lithuania. Other maps that are connected to Klaipėda are the Gytis Settlement Area and the East Siauliai Woods that leads to the Crystal Mine and Miners' Village. [9]

Orsha

Orsha is a city in the Southern Kingdom within the Royal Territory. As a city that precedes the kingdom, Orsha is one of the oldest cities in the world of Tree of Savior. The Orsha region was the last to be annexed by Zachariel the Great; leading to the founding of the Kingdom. During that period, there was a resistance among the Orsha locals that reject the demands of the King. However, before the final battle could even begin, the goddesses intervened and replaced the battle with safer competitions. This led to the defeat of Orsha's representatives against the King's warriors. Over the course of 1080 years, Orsha grew from a simple village to one of the two main cities in the Southern Kingdom. In respect of the city's tradition, Orsha is the only city to remain ruled by a local nobility appointed by the royal family. As of 2019, the city is being led by Inesa Hamondale, the Lord of Orsha.

The city's name was based on Orsha, a city in the Northeast of Belarus and southeast of Vitebsk. Other maps leading to Orsha are the Woods of the Linked Bridges and the Lemprasa Pond. [10]

Fedimian

Located in the North of the Kingdom within the Fedimian Region, the city of Fedimian is one of the three currently accessible cities in the world of Tree of Savior. Within the city is the Divine District where many pilgrims from various towns gather to worship. A gigantic statue of the Goddess Zemyna can be seen at the Northern part of the Divine District; having its lower half buried due to the huge earthquake caused by Medzio Diena. The said statue is considered as the symbol of Fedimian. Aside from the Divine District, the city also had a Market District but was completely destroyed during Medzio Diena. Efforts are being made to revive the city after the events of Medzio Diena.

The Divine City is surrounded by numerous wonders and ruins. Some of the most noteworthy places surrounding Fedimian are the Mage Tower, the Great Cathedral, and the Cursed City. Also located within the city are various Class Masters such as Appraiser Master Sandra and Squire Master Justina Legwyn. Other areas connected to the city are the Fedimian Suburbs, Starving Demon's Way, and Seir Rainforest.
