"Suikoden", "Suikoden II" and "Suikoden III" are set on the Northern Continent, a land mass composed of several regions. "Suikoden" takes place in the Scarlet Moon Empire, which is located on southeastern coast of the Northern Continent, and is composed primarily of the Toran region, with Lake Toran at its centre. Notable locations in this area include Gregminister, the empire's capital situated in Arlus, the Warrior's Village in the Lorimar region, and the Great Forest. At the end of "Suikoden", the empire is replaced by the Toran Republic.
