The main Island of Siram is known as Sivus. The Island is quite like any other you could see; golden beaches, palm trees scattered about, and a flawless view of the magnificent blue ocean. The town central is the main center of the Island, consisting of small shops and markets. The majority of Sirams population exists within this area the town itself, being built on the back of a turtle, can move to just about anywhere. However, it usually tends to stay in one place: Above the kingdom. The buildings are made of magnificent, multi-colored coral, and as such are very appealing to the eye. With its size, the island has a general capacity of about 500 people, give or take. The shops and markets in town look much like the normal houses do; differently colored coral structures. The main island is used as the residential area for the clan, as well as the main shopping and recreational spot for citizens and visitors. Though the underwater kingdom is indeed a popular place to visit, the true Siram hangout is in the very heart of Sivus itself. The Town Square, located in the center of the island is a circular and spacious area, paved by the cobblestone pathways of the 'city' areas. The Town Square is a place for people to come, listen to music, watch the dancers, play games, and get in on the action. It is also the major shopping center for Siram. A number of stores, restaurants, and shopping centers make the Town Square the main tourists attraction of Siram. In the east side of Town Square, is the Grand Stadium, which is the venue for various forms of entertainment. The Stadium is about a 100 yards in radius, and the home of various sporting events and contests which take place in Siram. People often meet up at the entrance to the Staduim, which just so happens to be adorned with a grand fountain of the Goddess Halsey. Her image is carved out of an array of multicolored corals, figure positioned as if she were dancing in the brilliant sunlight, and casting a warm, playful spectrum of light throughout the area. The colors even reflect in the crystal clear, fresh water that streams from the magnificent fountain.
Coeo is often referred to as the “Island of Healing.” Though most members of Siram have at least some Healing abilities, those who have exceptional skill often become professional healers, and work on Coeo. Professional healers are often pursued by outsiders who are in desperate need of a healing, or citizens who were, for whatever reason involved in accidents. There are no residents of Coeo. Only professional healers live on the island, so that someone will be present at all times in the event of an emergency. Farming and fishing are also customary acts on this island. Siram is known for growing its tropical fruits and vegetables. From the island of Coeo, they are grown, and distributed to the other islands, as well as prepared for trade to other villages.
The smallest Island in Siram has no formal name, though it is known as Quintar, by the Guardians. This island had no infrastructure, and is in virtually the same condition it was in before occupied by humans. Beautiful beaches, and lush forests, and wild animals are some of the most noted things on the island. Like Dae Hasley, citizens do not come to this place. It is occupied by the Guardians, and used as their training grounds. Quintar is also used for the purpose of tryouts for Siram Guardians, which are overseen by Sachiel and A’Nailiah. Individuals who pass the tryouts will undergo a ceremony on Ora Island, to become official Guardians. During the ceremony, a blue tint becomes visible in the newly initiated Guardians hair. Training sessions on Quintar take place twice a day, five days a week, and it is unacceptable for a Guardian to be absent under any conditions. The guardians are the only defensive formation for the peaceful Siram, and thus, have a quite strict culture. The Island of Quintar serves as home to that culture.
