This area's been made with the knowledge of different worlds. The city scenery grows more and more modern as one progresses. It resembles steampunk. Various car-like things run on steam-based engines. Faubley has asphalt roads and cars. They were quite old, but there were other vehicles apart from carriages. They were introduced by a past hero.

Faubley has had a long tradition of marrying the Four Summoned Heroes, the Seven Star Heroes, and their children into their family. Because of that, they're known worldwide as the bloodline of Heroes. Heroes are said to be an existence close to God. It's natural for a country to hold such beliefs. The people summoned are treated nicely, so they're alright with it, and it seems quite safe. If their children perform well, they're once again favored, and they carry on the line. Those children are usually divided into categories. If they're male, many of them are born with exceptional looks. These people would make their own harems. They would try to surpass others and would fight often. Contrarily, quite a few become reclusive. These people are the targets of many foreign countries. Because whimsical princesses think they can get married to handsome foreign princes, and they happily give their hands. Sometimes Heroes personally marry in; In the case of females, they are also usually blessed with good looks. There are some that even make reverse harems. The Heroes’ descendants seem to be blessed with looks over knowledge. There are also females, but their blood doesn't get spread as much as men. People with such blood get into power struggles with one another, win, become king, make more children and prosper.

Melromarc
Melromarc is on the main world continent surrounded by some of the most powerful kingdoms on the Continent: Rock Valley, Shieldfreeden, Siltvelt, and Zeltbull. In this country, the Queen is the true ruler so she holds power over the king, but gives him authority to rule as she sees fit while she is away dealing with diplomatic relations. The country is a matriarchal under the monarch of Queen, who holds the high authority. Women hold higher social value and power. Any violence against the woman is considered to be an offense of death penalty. During the time of the waves ravaged Melromarc and other regions of the world. This resulted in the destruction of demi-human protected village. Melromarc's king summoned the heroes and asked them to fight for the waves. The queen was shocked and tried to release the pent up tension of the international community. All the negotiation done by the queen where undone by the actions of the King and the church's cumulative actions. Meanwhile the shield Hero was heavily discriminated under a false claim. This increased the tension on the world community. The heroes were not properly managed and was ramping things on their own accord which result in damage than success. The king and the first princess were misusing the power. The things that the Shield Hero was denied becomes uncountable and the king was not responding to her letters.

When Mirellia returned, she punished all those involved and proved the innocence of the shield Hero. She tried to persuade the shield hero to base his action in her land. The Shield Hero was considering to move to another nation, but was recalled Fitoria's word, who implied that all the heroes need to co-operated to fight the waves. Mirellia bowed and begged him to work in her nation. Mirellia revealed that her nation lost access to the Seven Star Heroes because of the Cardinal Hero's summoning. Towards the end of the series it rose up to be the powerful country of the world, not only because of the possession of four holy heroes but also because of their resounding victory against the former powerful nation of Faubley. In the past Trash, became a well-renowned hero of Melromarc.

Siltvelt
The Siltvelt Kingdom is on the main world continent surrounded by some of the most powerful kingdoms on the continent: Rock Valley, Melromarc, Shieldfreeden, and Zeltbull. Siltvelt was mentioned to have been found by the Shield Hero in the past and exists only for the sake of the Shield Hero. It was once under the control of four great races, the Hakuko, Genmu, Shusaku, and Aotatsu. However, after the war with Melromarc, the Hakuko's forces were greatly ravaged. As a result, they, as a race, fell from a position of authority, but they still hold some influence. Those of the Shusaku race tend to be pro-Shield Hero radicals while those of the Genmu race are of the moderate faction. The moderates prefer not to depend too much on the hero while the radicals devote themselves to the hero. The previous shield hero met his end less than a month in this country. Whether he was weak or stuck in a conspiracy is unknown and Siltvelt had difficulty in swallowing it.

Shieldfreeden
Shieldfreeden Republic is on the main world continent surrounded by some of the most powerful kingdoms on the Continent: Rock Valley, Melromarc, Siltvelt, and Zeltbull. In The Reprise of the Spear Hero, it was mentioned that the country was formed due to the discontent of the bloodline politics of Siltvelt and discrimination of races in every nation as well. However, nothing much was mentioned about the country.

Zeltbull
Zeltbull is on the Main World Continent surrounded by some of the most powerful kingdoms on the Continent: Rock Valley, Melromarc, and Siltvelt. Zeltbull has a dark history involving constant warfare. Like most countries, they also have a Dragon Hourglass, but they don't give class ups. It was established by Merchants to attract profits which later formed as a country. It's a country in which an unbelievable amount of money circulates. Whether it be the shopping district or the slums, the people here seem to move with more energy than those in Melromarc.

Q'ten Lo
Q'ten Lo is on the main World Continent surrounded by some of the most powerful kingdoms on the Continent: Rock Valley, Melromarc, and Siltvelt. There is a port city where an ancient burial mound is present. According to Sadeena, one of Raphtalia's ancestors defeated a monster and interred its remains in the mound. The country is powered by a tree, Sakura Luminous. It provides nocturnal lighting for the city, as well as energy sources for various equipment. The tree can grow only in Q'ten Lo. The Q'ten Lo Kingdom possesses weapons shrouded in pale flames called the "Weapons of Judgment," that can nullify the Holy Weapons skills, abilities, special effects, and accessories - however, the Weapons of Judgment does not ignore the Holy Weapons stats. They also possess another weapon called the "Sakura Stones of Destiny", whose effects are unknown, but can be assumed to be very powerful. Their armors are very powerful, as they can easily resist attacks from upgrades Vassal and Holy Heroes, but it only resists the heroes, as Alta very easily smashed through their armor.

They called the holy heroes as Spirit implements. The Heavenly Emperor was considered as a pacifier. Like most countries, their concept of existence was forgotten due to their isolation and wars. Sadeena adds that each division had access to a different section of information and no one had a full idea of the weapon's purpose. Naofumi concludes that the pacifiers are meant to stop the rogue heroes or one who was succumbed to curse series from running amok over the world. And in the long run of history, they might have forgotten their own purpose. this might be the reason for the country to be isolated from the world. The country is said to be protected by Water Dragon fragment.

Rock Valley
The Rock village is located near the harbor used to visit to Cal Mira. As people used to live there, the ground is relatively level and ready for agriculture. The village is on the sea, and if you walk a few hours from it, you can reach the mountains. Rock Valley is on the main world Continent surrounded by some of the most powerful kingdoms on the continent: Melromarc, Shieldfreeden, and Zeltbull. Before the founding of the Rock Valley Kingdom the previous Village within the Rock Valley was destroyed, the land it was built on was Raphtalia's hometown which was a farming village near the sea under the rule of Eclair's father, but it is currently inhabited by Naofumi's slaves. It's neighboring villages are made up of people who's homes were destroyed by the Waves or who simply wish to have The Hero of the Shield as their lord and live under his reign and protection. During reconstruction many citizens tried to take advantage of the change in power by abandoning children, more specifically demi-human children, near the village hoping Naofumi would adopt them. Similarly, many demi-human adventures would claim to have superiority while within his territory. Naofumi immediately took counter measures to ensure both things stopped. Eclair's father was the last lord to rule over the land before the Waves appeared. He was know to be quite wise and kind towards demi-humans.

Rock Valley became the base of operations for all of the Four Saint Heroes during the later stages of the Waves invasions, with Motoyasu starting a Filolial farm there and Ren and Itsuki taking up temporary residence under Naofumi's, or more specifically his subordinate's, care to recover from their respective curse series. The name, Rock Valley, came from Naofumi's own last name Iwatani, to which he complained that there were no rocks or mountains, just a sea nearby, but his complaint was overruled and the name ultimately stuck. After the death of the mortal Naofumi, it is known that Rock Valley became a country of rather large renown and influence, with descendants of Kial becoming the guardians of the God Tree Naofumi created, and was disgusted by, and Raphtalia's descendants becoming royalty.
