#Stage Lore: A Thread

Museum d’Alfonsino
The modern design of the building is reflected in the many monuments, paintings, and other works of art inside and outside. The museum also offers a wide variety of learning programs, and many creatures of all ages are said to come to study art.
Experience the world's civilizations and cultures
The "Indigenous Peoples and Modern Art" exhibition is currently underway. The exhibition features works by contemporary artists who have been influenced by the civilizations and cultures that flourished in B.C. and the squid world. This is a large-scale exhibition that is traveling around the world and will be held for a long period of time. The exhibition is designed to explore the fascination of exotic forms that are connected to the current popular Splatlands movement, while reflecting on the past of the squid world.
Hagglefish Market
Located on reclaimed land on the banks of the Splatlands. It is a chaotic space crowded with miscellaneous items such as fruits, fish, clothes, and daily necessities. In addition to goods arriving from fishing boats and pawn ships, many stores sell bargains from the crater. Skirmishes with customers and between stores are a daily occurrence, and the area has become a battleground for the young and hot-blooded.
The tents are built in a row, and there are a lot of things to buy!!
A lively maritime market. The area where Turf Wars take place is where the market stalls are crowded together, and young people can often be seen kicking cardboard boxes around them and engaging in battles.
Wahoo World
A park with an abundance of attractions popular among young people, such as roller coasters, Ferris wheels, and drop machines. Visitors' screams can be heard occasionally throughout the park. There's also a wide variety of restaurants and souvenir stores, so you can spend a whole day here and never get bored!
A long-established amusement park that has seen a resurgence in popularity in recent years
An amusement park located in Inkopolis. The park has been in operation for more than 50 years and for a while it had been operating at a loss due to a slump in the number of young visitors. Following the popularity of Turf Wars, the park opened as a battle stage and the number of visitors recovered. Currently, the park continues to operate steadily. Since it is not very crowded, it is secretly popular as a date spot for young people.
Scorch Gorge
The history of the squid world can be seen from the shape and utilization of the rocks in the gorge and many people enjoy rock climbing here. The spawn point that was once used during Turf Wars still remains.
After a turf war, you can go to a hot spring.
This huge canyon was formed by the uplift of what was once a deep-sea hydrothermal vent. As a result of erosion caused by wind and rain over the years, rocks of very unusual shapes stand side by side. It is designated as a national park and is a popular tourist destination. It is within a day trip distance from Splatsville. It is also famous as a hot spring resort, with many places where thermal water gushes out.
Hammerhead Bridge
It is a huge bridge that connects the regions of Inkopolis and The Splatlands, and has a well- traveled road running through it. Looking out over the sea from the bridge, one can see a human- shaped object in the water, but no one knows what it is.
A popular battle spot since its construction
The bridge was finally completed two years ago after several years of unfinished construction. The construction of the bridge was accelerated as a result of a large statue surfacing incident that occurred off the coast of Inkopolis Bay which damaged many of the structures in the water and hindered the navigation of vessels. This led to a movement to build the bridge. The construction of the bridge has drastically improved the accessibility of travel between the two regions.
Mahi-Mahi Resort
This is a resort area visited by many young people who find their identity in battling it out in the coolest spots. In between the battles, many of them can enjoy the sounds of a bass-heavy band.
A giant athletic facility that enjoys great popularity.
It is one of the world's leading resort hotels, famous for its huge pool with changing water levels. Currently, music events are held here, and visitors can enjoy battling it out while listening to live performances by famous artists. It has become a kind of status symbol among celebrities to hold weddings and birthdays here, and the event schedule is said to be booked up to two years in advance.
Eeltail Alley
Surrounded by towering buildings, a monorail crosses overhead. The spot is damp and somewhat murky due to its proximity to the river, but it is filled with tasteful graffiti and is strangely comfortable.
A district with a unique world of its own
A section of Splatsville that has become a haven for the rough-and-tumble youth. There are some old monuments, but they have been extended and remodeled and arranged for battles without their value being known. Many areas are covered with tarps due to being under construction, but there are also many sites that have not progressed for several years leaving abandoned building materials which are a source of concern for the municipality.
Flounder Heights
Many of the original tenants have since left, but with the redevelopment of the area, new stores are coming in one after another, and the number of tenants seems to be gradually increasing. The area around the national land has also been improved, and the park has become a popular place for the people who live there.
Innovation with Diversity in Mind
This housing complex is located in the suburbs of Inkopolis. Through the apartment complex revitalization project the city has been promoting in recent years, the complex is being redeveloped as a sustainable housing complex for a new generation, with the aim of creating a vibrant environment where diverse species can live together.
Proposals for the renovation were made through a triangular system of local government, industry, and academic cooperation. Through a design competition that received a total of seven applications, the renovation proceeded based on the grand prize winning proposal, which was carefully selected by a panel of 14 judges from a variety of prominent fields.
Mincemeat Metalworks
Scrap compacted into blocks is readied for processing. The sight of the giant crane with its powerful magnet moving is a sight to behold, and because large construction vehicles often come and go, it seems to be frequented by factory enthusiasts.
A gathering spot for young people who dream of getting rich quick
A scrap metal factory surrounded by desert. The huge ship seen in the distance is said to have been washed away when the desert was once a sea. People gathered to take scrap from that ship, and the area soon became a factory zone centered on metal dismantling. Since valuable metals can be extracted from the scrap excavated from the craters, many people bring their own scrap to be purchased.
Brinewater Springs
In this scenic hot spring resort area, where the steamy smoke of the hot springs rises from the ground, visitors can enjoy a variety of hot springs of different qualities. Saunas, as well as hot springs, are popular, and they've been referred to as "the most popular sauna in the world.” Many youths come to enjoy them, and they all enjoy the experience before and after a battle.
A hot spring resort ideal for recovering from the fatigue of battle.
The hot springs have long been a favorite of local residents, but it was not until after the Great Turf War that the area was developed into a tourist destination, and even today you can find excavators everywhere. Steamed dishes using the hot spring's steam, such as "kusaya kaitou," are a specialty of the area, and many young people return to the area to get a snack after Turf Wars. It is said that active volcanic activity, thanks to large eruptions in ancient times, and groundwater accumulated by heavy rainfall contribute to the giant gushes of hot spring water.
And that’s all. Once again, big thanks to Fia on Twitter!
