The world of Manthana is divided into several continents, each of which is ruled by a kingdom. The five regions represent the cardinal directions. These included Huazhou in the north, Jianxi in the east, Yunhai in the south, Xuefen in the west, and Huaxia in the center of the mainland.
They were all once enemies who killed each other without hesitation, wanting to dominate one over the other because of natural resources. The fierce battle was not only a competition to show superior martial arts techniques, but a structured move with the help of Spirit Beasts.
Manthana's beautiful land, rich in flora and fauna, turned into a hellscape filled with fire and blood everywhere. Their violence caused landslides, mountain eruptions, and shifted the structure of the land so that islands were formed in various locations.
