Editing Log Horizon (section)

==Akiba==

Main hub town of Yamato, situated where real-world Akihabara would be.  Many of the major Guilds and personalities of the series are based here.  It is governed by the '''Round Table Alliance''', a coalition of Guilds <s>blackmailed</s> ORGANIZED by Shiroe to stabilize the situation among the adventurers there.

===Prominent Guilds===

'''Log Horizon''': Shiroe's guild. A small guild by choice (Shiroe wants to just have a member representiog each of the 12 Elder Tale classes) with a disproportionate level of influence over the city (again, thanks to Shiroe).  

'''Crescent Moon Alliance''': Maryelle's guild. A casual player's guild, its members are  also close acquaintances in the real world (like Maryelle and Henrietta being best friends).  Due to its part in freeing the enslaved kids from Hamelin, many of these rescuees joined in gratitude, and as a result it had gained a reputation for being a newbie-friendly guild. Considered by reputation to be Log Horizon's sister guild.
  
'''D.D.D.''': Crusty's guild. A raid guild, with a large number of active members.  Organized like a military organization, with sub-commanders leading dedicated squads.  Has a very open-door recruitment policy, and will accept any adventurer who is willing to participate in raids regardless of level or equipment.  

'''Black Sword Knights''': Isaac's guild. A serious business raid guild, that emphasizes high levels, and a willingness to grind long hours to get geared up to properly tackle endgame dungeons.  Has a much lower number count compared to D.D.D., but makes up for it quality of its active members.  That said, it's a huge sausagefest, as many of the serious girl gamers have migrated to the next guild instead...

'''West Wind Brigade''': Soujirou's guild. Infamously known as the "harem" guild, due to most of its members initially being either Soujirou's female friends or fangirls. Soujirou initially created it so that some of the ex-members of Debauchery Tea Party can have a place to hang around in.

===Landers===
Akiba is surrounded by the territory of the Freedom League of Eastal, a republic of feudal city states in the mold of Italy in the renaissance.  The closest Lander city to Akiba is the ''Palace of Eternal Ice'', built over the site of the the real world Hamarikyu Garden (the old Imperial Japanese state guest palace) and controlled by the Cowen family, who are presently the nominal leader of the Republic's council.  The second closest lander city is Cinderella Castle, a literal clone of the castle at Disneyland Tokyo at the same location.

There are several Eastal landers of note to Akiba.  Princess Lenessia Cowen travels to Akiba to make a direct appeal to the adventurers to protect Eastal from a goblin invasion.  Regan, the Sage of Miral Lake (basically Yamato's version of [[Warcraft|Khadgar]]) seeks out Shiroe to exchange knowledge, ultimately helping Shiroe form a theory of how death and regeneration functions sufficient for him to use his powers as a scribe to turn landers into adventurers.
