Termina resembles an ancient city-state. The lively central city of Clock Town rules the surrounding area, but in the four cardinal directions there are regions outside the jurisdiction of the central city. To the north are the tall mountains of Snowhead, which is the realm of the Gorons. To the east are the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Ikana, which houses mostly Stalchildren and other undead. To the south are the Southern Swamps, a forested, swampy area owned by the wooden Deku. To the west is the Great Bay, ruled over by the Zora, the noble, fish-like denizens of the water. Also to the west, bordering the Great Bay, is the fortress of the Gerudo Pirates.
