The city is named Swiftside, and is located in the Acardia region of Marnie, which is now the name of old Atlantis, where the dragons ruled until a devastating earthquake kind of fissured the ground and half of it fell into the ocean, along with the castle of Iomhall-Draigrhean.
In the tranquil costal city of Swiftside, there are few spots where we'll go with our characters on their healing journey:
Refuge In Symphony: Sua's music shop stands as an oasis of comfort, adorned with a curated collection of vinyl records and musical instruments. Designed to evoke a sense of safety, this cozy haven beckons to those seeking solace and harmony in the midst of life's many storms.
The Swiftside Police Department: A pivotal center of law enforcement in Swiftside, where Alex and Wang tirelessly serve under the leadership of Chief Max. Amid their dedication to upholding justice, Chief Max's prejudiced views against magical folks and ex-addicts pose a daunting challenge.
Geromino's Café-Restaurant: Ayato's family-owned establishment, a caffeinated legacy passed down through generations. This cozy café is not only a place for coffee and brunch but also a hub of familial warmth. Ayano frequents this cafe in the mornings, not-so-secretly drawn to Ayato's charm.
The Swiftside Hospital: A pillar of the community, where Dr. Mary Waters diligently tends to patients' needs. The hospital's connection to Anna, through a significant donation, casts a shadow over Sua's well-being.
The Campus: Swiftside's intellectual heart, home to several schools and the esteemed Gaia University. This scholarly institution nurtures a love for history, science, and the arts. Eric's music class at Acardia High School becomes a safe space for aspiring musicians like Noah, Julia, Tristan, Lily, and Samantha.
The Ciara Beach: Located in the nearby town of Baymore, this secluded shoreline, nestled at the base of a cliff, offers tranquility and natural beauty. Mary and Allen often seek solace here, watching dolphins play and basking in the serenity.
The Wood Cabin East to Swiftside: Overlooking the picturesque Sirena Lake, this fisherman's cabin belongs to Tristan's father. Despite its rustic simplicity, it holds a special place for gatherings and firefly-watching. Eric appreciates the oaks tree on the park side of Sirena, while Finnegan isn't particularly fond of it and actively avoids it.

Housings :
Anna's Place: Nestled near the Korean consulate of Swiftside, Anna's apartment carries an air of formality but lacks the warmth that makes it a true home. Sua's ambivalence towards this space is reflected in his avoidance of the area, though he has to returns here each evening when Anna is there. Otherwise, he spends the night in his music shop.
Eric and Finnegan's Place: The brothers' apartment near Geromino's reflects their divergent interests, with instruments and music sheets coexisting alongside art supplies. A small portrait of Marisa and another of Siobhan graces the entrance table.
Myriam and Noah's Mobile Home: This humble yet welcoming abode near Sirena Lake provides a modest yet cozy haven for a mother and son who have faced adversity.
Mary's Beach Home: Mary's inheritance from her grandmother, this spacious beachside dwelling, located near Ciara Beach, often feels too large and distant from the hospital for her, yet she cherishes it as a gift from her beloved relative.
