Ei-Jei

Ei-Jei (エイジエ Ei-Jie) is the name given to the southern part of Angara in Dark Dawn. Its encyclopaedia entry reads as follows:
 * ''"This is a general term for the region in the southeast part of Angara that includes Ayuthay, Kaocho, Sana and Champa. It is generally a sophisticated and prosperous area. This prosperity can be traced to several Alchemy Machines."

Story
Initially trying to head to Bilibin, Matthew's party is forced to travel to Ei-Jei when the first route is blocked by the emergence of a Psynergy Vortex that breaks the usual method of transport. When they detour to the Konpa Ruins they are attacked by Blados, Chalis and a Masked Man. These antagonists kidnap Rief and force the party to take the southern route, prior to immediately triggering a landslide, making the ruins impassible from the south. This forces Matthew and co to power up the Alchemy Forge and Alchemy Well to travel north via Craggy Peak from the town of Passaj.

Politics
Harapa, Passaj and Ayuthay all have very good relations with each other. The relationship is based on the prosparity caused by the alchamey machines in the region. However Kaocho has declared war against both Ayuthay and Passaj, and has declared independance from Sana, a large powerfull nation in the east. Champa is a small pirate nation that is feared by many nations in the region, especially in the Sanan Sea.

Name Origin
The Japanese name of the region, Ei-Jie seems to correlated with the Japanese name of the Jenei, Jienese. One possible reading of the element 'Ei' would be descendant, scion, or lineage, suggesting that the region's general name refers to it being the home of the "Lineage of the Jienese" or Jenei: it is a region rich with ruins made in-tandem by the Neox and Exathi cultures.
