Tong-Nou is the fictional island on which the game Eastern Mind: The Lost Souls of Tong-Nou takes place. The island is located "far to the east", floating above the oceans of Earth. Its appearance is that of a giant green head.
The Five Lands
Tong-Nou has five lands based on the Chinese "wuxing" (or "five elements"), namely:
- Tong-nou, the Central Mountain
- Yui-wang, the Land of Desire
- Mon-chien, the Land of Dreaming
- Ming-ken, the Land of Life
- Shi-chieng, the Land of Time
These lands can be entered through different parts of Tong-Nou. The Central Mountain can be entered through the symbol on the back, Yui-wang through its left ear, Mon-chien through its left cheek, Ming-ken through its right ear, and Shi-chieng through its right cheek. Another important location is Hou-ang, the Phantom Marketplace, but it isn't a land.
Other interactions
There are several ways to interact with the island besides entering one of the lands.
