The Efteni Tower is the most prominent hallmark of the Stoinian capital, Sinaia. Standing as the tallest point of the capital, the tower distinguishes itself from the classical architecture of Sinaia. Piercing the skyline at 330 m, Doamna de Fier (Tarnese: the Lady of Iron) designed by the Siranian architect Eugen Efteni for the 1891’s World Fair, has become Stoinia’s most prominent cultural icon.
At the centre of the beautiful Parcul Unirii (Tarnese: Unification Park) in the heart of the capital, Efteni Tower is amongst the South Pacific’s most visited attractions with entrance fees. From the top floor at 300 m in height, visitors can take in the Sinaian night sky viewing the Varcathian Mountains and the Siniliu river between a sea of lights. It’s for this reason that Efteni Tower has become a hotspot for romantic couples to heighten their love for one another in one of Pacifica’s most unique towers.
Cheongwolgung, meaning Blue Moon Palace, is a walled compound of palaces in Mumiea that was inhabited by members of Garan monarchy until the annexation of Gara by Karnetvor in 1880. It is one of the “Five Grand Palaces” built by the kings of the Garan Kingdom and designated as a Historic Site.The buildings are of varying styles, including some of native cryptomeria wood, painted wood, and stucco. Some buildings were built of stone to replicate Karnetvorian palatial structures.
In addition to the traditional palace buildings, there are also forested gardens, a statue of King Yejong and the National Museum of Art, which is located in the Seokjeon of the palace. The palace is located near City Hall Station.
The Seokjeon is a Neo-Renaissance style building designed in 1898 by Karnetvorian architect Boris Iofan, intended for diplomatic and high-level government meetings. In 1970 its interior was renovated to host the National Museum of Art. The Museum hosts 10,000 pieces of both artifacts and artworks, and is accessible for free to all Kliegmean citizens.
The Ruins of Volumbiæ are one of the most important and beautiful historical landmarks in Andrendia. Constructed around the year 340 BCE, they are located on the Eastern side of Mount Vulcanbon, in Northern Andrendia. The ruins were once Volumbiæ, the capital of the ancient Vulcanbonian Kingdom. The city was destroyed in 681 during the Vulcanbonian-Axolandian War. The town is incredibly well preserved thanks to the the volcano it’s located on, that from the town’s destruction to its rediscovery and even after is said to have erupted over 27 times. The ash and magma were able to trap the ruins into a perfect snapshot of the life during the periods when the eruptions happened. Other than the remains from the town’s founding, golden age, destruction and abandon, we also find remains from the Middle Era of Andrendia, showing people still lived in the ruins after the town was abandoned. The many eruptions give us many clues on the life in the area in a timestamp of almost 2000 years, making the ruins truly unique. Other than this, Volumbiæ is famous for the remains of the ancient temples and the famous Volumbian Terms.
Here the ancient engineers used the volcano’s heath to warm up the waters of the Terms with an intricated system of pipes, showing their advanced knowledge of hydraulics and the volcano they lived on.
Millions of tourists from Andrendia and the world visit Volumbiæ every year and on weekends access to the site is entirely free, even for non-citizens.
The One Pacifica Trade Center is one of the most influential landmarks in the world. Finishing in 2012 (before much of Al-Adhan Kreantrael island was finished), this building is at a staggering 848m high, making it one of the tallest buildings in the world. Economic summits are held here and millions of tourists come here every day. Also, 2400 people live here!

The Temple Sotanaïa
North of Sufasjivan, Sokhanistan
The Temple of Sotanaïa is a marvel of Sokhanistani engineering, situated majestically at the base of Mt. Sirisidu, the tallest peak in Sokhanistan. Nestled between the towering mountain and a sacred Talu holy site, this Agiary Temple is dedicated to Sotanaïa, the Sokhainean goddess of water revered throughout Sokhanistan. Legend tells of the lake beside the temple, said to possess healing properties imbued by the goddess herself.
Built with precision and artistry, the temple merges stone, tile, and intricately wrought metalwork, with designs that reflect the flow and life-giving qualities of water. The temple’s interior is serene and filled with soft, natural light; reflecting pools and a central altar create a space for pilgrims to make offerings and seek the goddess’s blessings. Healing rituals often take place along the lake’s shore, and visitors journey here from far and wide, drawn by the mountain’s majestic presence and the promise of Sotanaïa’s blessings.
The towering Mt. Sirisidu frames the temple as a guardian, adding to the spiritual significance of the site. For the Sokhanistani, the mountain and lake form a divine pairing, symbolizing the balance between strength and sustenance. This sacred setting has made the Temple of Sotanaïa a cornerstone of Sokhanistani spiritual life—a place where worship, community, and nature converge, grounded in the timeless reverence for water and the enduring power of the natural world.
