    Going to take a wild guess that the kanji for that is 日ヶ島, which would literally mean "sun island." What's Japan called by the Japanese? 日本, "origin of the sun."

    Yugiri probably is from Doma, she's definitely not from Hingashi, she's described as "having witnessed the terrors wrought by the Garlean Empire, a young Yugiri made the pilgrimage from her Raen home to the village of the shinobi, seeking tools with which she might fight the Empire".
    No worries. I still appreciate all the info. Don't want to get you into trouble. Altough SE doesn't seem to do anything about all the scan uploads. Thankfully, cause I can't afford to buy and ship a lorebook at present and am very hungry for lore. But honestly I plan to buy the whole thing eventually either way. So she left Doma to become a ninja, but came back too late. Now that's even more interesting.

    Okay I searched for that part again. It's Hingashi and apparently it means "the east". Also it's an island nation that isn't a part of Othard. So I guess it is like Vylbrand and Aldenard.
    If I understand the Au Ra entry correctly, Doma is the city state of the region of Yanxia.
