The continent of Marin currently has one known location.
Memoria Arx Sirocco
Sirocco is a modern-day city located on a peninsula inside a harbor. The majority of the urban city is located on the peninsula, with a developing city on the other end of the harbor. Suburbs surround both city areas. The peninsula itself is shaped like a whale with strange elevations. At water level, the ground is mostly flat or barely sloped at all. A few blocks in from the water, the ground slopes up sharply, the roads being varying degrees of steep, quickly reaching roughly 50 meters above sea level. The rest of the peninsula is a plateau from there; it has the occasional small hill, but nothing compared to the sharp divide between the city and the waterfront.
The most notable feature is the last large hill in the center of the city. Displaying the same sharp divide between the city and the waterfront, the hill rises to offer a view of the entire city from its highest point. At the top of the hill is the star-shaped fortress commonly referred to as The Lab. Originally an old military installation, the fortress has been repurposed into a scientific lab, with most studies focusing on the anemoi. Ermis Suites, the hotel that has been repurposed as temporary free housing for newcomers, is a few blocks away from the base of the hill.
Many buildings are connected by underground tunnels and above-ground pedestrian bridges; it is possible to go from the city to the waterfront without actually stepping foot outside, although it wouldn't be a direct path.
Locations in Sirocco of particular relevance to Player Characters:
-Emiya Manor, a residence regained by Shirou Emiya (wontdieifkilled). It's a large, expensive-looking, Japanese-style house located in an upper-class district of Sirocco. It has a courtyard, a guest room separate from the main house, and a shed. It's also protected by a bounded field, implemented by Kiritsugu, that alerts its occupants when anyone enters the property unbidden and with hostile intent.
-Ermis Suites, the hotel that oh-so-kindly houses our immigrants. More information can be found here.
-Justice League Sirocco Headquarters, home to Sirocco's Justice League, founded by Booster Gold (canthandleacape). For more information on the organization and the building, see here.
-The Lab, a fortress on the highest hill in town, repurposed into a scientific lab. It is here that characters are first brought when they arrive, and where they bring anemoi to be processed for memories.
-New Roots, a flower shop opened and operated by Rosalia Rossellini (healeveryone). It's located a few blocks west of the Ermis Suites.
-Sirocco Operation Society Headquarters, a small base located at Sirocco's outskirts. The SOS is dissatisfied with the current leadership of Sirocco and provides safe haven for villain characters. For more details, see here.
-Sundollar Coffee, a coffee chain that is basically Starbucks with the serial numbers filed off. There are two Sundollars in Sirocco, located across the street from one another. (Currently temporary; becomes permanent on August 4th.)
-A Training Center, opened by Ky Kiske (ridethelightning).
