Besaid Besaid Island is famous for its fabrics and the clothes it produces. It was originally a city which relied heavily on machina until it was completely destroyed by Sin. Its ruins now remain as a monument to Sin's power, and still has remains of machina which house ancient weapons. It is home to the blitzball team Besaid Aurochs, who have never won a game in the ten years that Wakka was playing for them. It was attacked by Sin shortly before Yuna's pilgrimage, depicted in Final Fantasy X. Moderators: Administrator, Valkyrie, Darkmage
Kilika A medium-sized island north of Besaid and just south of Luca, Kilika Island is home to the blitzball team Kilika Beasts. During Yuna's pilgrimage, its village was decimated by Sin and many people were killed. It was here that Yuna performed her first sending of the dead. Two years later, the village was rebuilt, but again became a setting for violence when tensions between the Youth League and New Yevon were at their worst. The temple in the forests of Kilika was home to the fayth for the aeon Ifrit. Moderators: Administrator, Valkyrie, Darkmage
Luca Luca is the second largest city in Spira, home of the blitzball team Luca Goers. It also houses the only blitzball stadium in Spira. Because of this, the Crusaders, a group organized to protect the people of Spira from Sin, fought to the death in order to protect it. Blitzball was the only form of entertainment for the people of Spira during the time of Sin, and losing the stadium would have been a serious blow to their morale. Also of interest is the theater, where the player can listen to the music and view the full motion video sequences of the game, apart from the ending one.

Guadosalem Guadosalam is home of the Guado and the location of a gateway to the Farplane. Prior to the Eternal Calm, most summoners only made a short stop here to pay respects to their fallen while on their pilgrimage to the Zanarkand Ruins. After Sin was destroyed, the Guado left their home in fear of the Ronso. Shortly thereafter, Guadosalam became a favorite locale for sphere hunters, and the LeBlanc Syndicate took up residence in the old manor where Guado leaders, such as Seymour, once lived.

Macalania Forest Perhaps the most striking location in all of Spira, Macalania was a large sparkling blue forest, full of glowing crystal formations and shining skyways. Eventually, the forest led out into an icy lake, which was the location of Macalania Temple, home of the fayth for the aeon Shiva, which was the reason for Macalania's frozen environment. But after the fayth faded away at the end of Final Fantasy X, the forest began to die, and the temple sank into the unfrozen lake. Some of Spira's greatest musicians also lived there. In Final Fantasy X, with the help of the Celestial mirror, and relevant crests and sigils, the party can receive their Ultimate weapons here. Moderators: Administrator, Valkyrie, Darkmage
Bikanel Island A large desert island far to the west of Spira's mainland, Bikanel Island was the location of the Al Bhed's home until it was attacked by the Guado. In Final Fantasy X, Bikanel is first visited by the party when they are swept there from Macalania by Sin. Rikku tells the party that Yuna is probably being held on the island at the Al Bhed's base, "Home". However, when they reach Home, they discover that it is under attack by the Guado and learn that Yuna has been kidnapped. In the midst of the chaos, the party meets Cid, Rikku's father, who decides that there is no way to save Home and—after gathering the survivors in the salvaged airship, Fahrenheit—destroys it using the airship's missiles.

Bevelle The largest city in Spira and center of the order of Yevon prior to the coming of the Eternal Calm, Bevelle is also the birthplace of Yuna. It was guarded by a giant wyvern named Evrae, who Tidus and co. killed on the Cid's Airship when going to save Yuna from Seymour. Interestingly, Bevelle made liberal use of machina even before the Eternal Calm, though they were forbidden by the scriptures. Even the grand maester of Yevon, Grandmaster Yo Mika, was unsent, despite the temples' edicts holding that it was the duty of summoners to send the souls of the dead. People who questioned Yevon's policies were thrown into the Via Purifico (Latin for "the Way of Purification", or "the Road of Purification"), a large underground sewer full of fiends. After Sin was defeated, the Yevon order was disbanded, but a new group based on Yevon—the New Yevon Party founded by Trema—took up residence. Aside from the Via Purifico, the areas under Bevelle include the resting place for Vegnagun, and the Via Infinito ("the Infinite Road") where the unsent spirit of Trema still live. The temple in Bevelle was home to the fayth of the aeon Bahamut. Moderators: Administrator, Valkyrie, Darkmage
Calm Lands The Calm Lands are the location where Bevelle and Zanarkand fought their most brutal and destructive battle, some 1,000 years before the events of Final Fantasy X. The war left the land practically dead and barren. Eventually, summoners took note of this uninhabited land; it was an ideal place to perform the Final Summoning. It became known as "the Calm Lands", as it is where summoners defeat Sin and bring the Calm. The Calm Lands also house the hidden Remiem Temple—which was lost as Sin tore the earth asunder with the last of its strength combatting High Summoner Gandof.

Mt. Gagazet The highest point in Spira, Mount Gagazet is home to the Ronso tribe as well as the fayth of Dream Zanarkand. Before the Eternal Calm, summoners had to pass over this treacherous mountain in order to reach the Zanarkand ruins. It is littered with the graves of summoners who died trying to pass. After the defeat of Sin, the fayth which resided here disappeared. The place where they used to reside is now called "the Fayth Scar". The disappearance of the fayth revealed ancient ruins on the peak of Gagazet. Moderators: Administrator, Valkyrie, Darkmage
Zanarkand The Zanarkand Ruins are the desiccated remains of the once great city, Zanarkand. A war between Bevelle and Zanarkand 1,000 years before Final Fantasy X contributed to the latter's downfall. Once active and full of life, it was left dark, home only to dust and fiends. It was here that the unsent summoner Yunalesca awaited the arrival of the strongest of the summoners, so that she might bestow upon them the Final Summoning to defeat Sin. During the Eternal Calm, Zanarkand became a tourist attraction, and people from all over Spira sought to visit it, despite its previous status as a holy place. But, later the place was closed by Issaru. Moderators: Administrator, Valkyrie, Darkmage
