Welcome to Golden Phoenix. You have entered Phoenix Island, meaning you are now in the territory. What you can expect to see are MANY shops in the cities, since Phoenix Island is heavily known for establishing trade. Due to the many cities on the outside, it is not too well known by those who are not Golden Phoenix or Pharaoh's Calls members about what is beyond the towns. Once you exit the town, you have to venture through many forests, owned by Phoenix Birds. These birds are hostile to those that don't have their Golden Phoenix or Pharaoh's Call mark on them. Any guests that travel alone with either guild members with the mark will be fine as well. Those who have either of those marks will be welcomed lovingly by the Phoenix Birds if spotted by the creatures, willing to fight for them and guide them to the top of the mountains located at the top. Provided the members reach the top of the mountain, the Golden Phoenix or Pharaoh's Call mark will unlock a portal for them and their guests to enter. This portal is connected to an underwater city thousand of miles deep into the ocean, surrounded by a dome that captures and filters oxygen. This city if Oahu, where only the guild members may have access. This shield dome is built to be indestructible, to ensure the safety of the members within it.
The Golden Phoenix Guild must interact with each other in their free time! Not only is the Underwater town of Oahu a place private for those in Golden Phoenix, but it is a place for them to hang out and interact. All of their business can be handled, as there are many homes and members (Most of whom are NPC's) of the guild who run many shops and activities in Oahu. However, while private communications can be done there, there is only one area worthy of any attention at all. The social center of Golden Phoenix, the Guild Hall. This area is seen at the core of the town, the direct center of it. And it's nearly impossible to miss since it towers above anything else in Oahu. Such a beautiful sight it is from the outside, and while it may look like some ruins, there are MANY things to do while in it. It's not the average Guild Hall. Heck, if a retired Treasure Hunter decided to spend the rest of their life in there, the outside world would seem like nothing to them. All the necessities of a mage are located while in the Guild Hall. It was designed by Treasure Hunter, Nimpha Yukino, to make sure that all members who do not see the outside world are given a chance to not feel so homesick.
Fourteen shimmering golden doors are affixed to the Guild Hall at various locations among the floors of the hall - at the north cardinal direction on each eight floors and then among important locations so that one may simply step through the portal and move to the desired location. Each golden door comes with a panel to it's right which holds a number of options as to where one wishes to depart to. You simply pressed the desired button on the panel and away you go to your destination.

- Floor One:
- Floor One: The Hotel
The first floor is a simple floor for those who are very formal. It has four "sub-floors" that allow people to rent a place and stay in the guild hall for a few days. This floor acts like a hotel, and within it are the sub-floors. The lobby area has the average things a hotel lobby would have, a resting area with a three set of couches, a breakfast, lunch, and dinner area, people walking around and moving all over the place, a sponsoring coffee shop, a check-in and check-out area, and a little gift shop area as well. This is the area to go if you'd like to rent a room for Oahu guests. Expect the prices to be high, though, because the quality service is given to you as well as the super fluffy beds and flat-screen Lacrimas, there will be a lot to pay for. Fortunately, if you even know that this underwater City exists in the first place, you most likely have the jewels to afford a room and the services. The name of the hotel? Pfft. They want names now, what a bunch of scrubs.
The observatory: Hidden behind a "staff only" sign on a door in a side hallway of the first floor, there is a "secret" passage leading to the most serene and relaxing location in Golden Phoenix's guild hall. A small tunnel, lit by lacrima lanterns, leads up to the surface of the island, where a small cabin with a glass dome roof is embedded into a hill. From inside of the dome, one can see the beach below them, as well as the stars on a clear night. It is especially soothing when it rains or snows, and there is a small fireplace in the underground portion of the observatory wall. Though the creator of the observatory is unknown, and the location is supposed to be secret, almost all Golden Phoenix mages know of this little gem, using it mostly for some well-deserved peace and quiet.

Slots, Blackjack, Poker, ladies, and jewels! Is anyone feeling lucky tonight? This is the area to be at.
- Floor Three:
Welcome to the Golden Phoenix Resort! This is where all the water-related fun activities will be located. Ironic, is it not? In here, you will be met by a huge pool where any form of magic can be used. However, the water itself can't be drunk by ocean slayers, and any water that exits the rim of the pool will have new water droplets to replace it. There are plenty of diving boards for the members to jump off of, and the deepest end of the pool reaching three-hundred meters. The pool closes by... Never. And if pools are not your thing, there are plenty of hot springs surrounding the pool. Plenty of snack bars will be located on the floor as well, but they are rather hefty in pricing.
- Floor Four:
- Floor Five:
- Floor Five: The Arena
Treasure Hunters are going to encounter others that are after their treasure, and many others have been taught to fight to kill. So this is where training comes in, the fifth floor will give members of Golden Phoenix a chance to fight among themselves for training. There are two modes to the arena. Crystal Gems and Survival. Both of which test many different things, but have a lot of crucial aspects in each one of them. Provided one is able to win, they have used their wit as well as their raw power to obtain victory.
Crystal gems are simple. Three gems will be floating above your head, just a little bit behind it in fact. Your opponent will have the same thing. They follow you and remain in that position, behind your head. The goal is to smash all three fragile gems that your opponent has before they could do that to you. It's not as simple as it sounds. Failure to remain in the ring results in all remaining gems that you have to shatter for being out of bounds.
Survival is to fight, fight, and fight some more until you knock your opponent out of the ring.
All fights are monitored, and anything that goes too far will be broken up. If evidence of this being the case turning out to be done on purpose, consequences will be following.

- Floor Seven:
- The Restaurant
Imagine the biggest buffet you have ever been to, and double it, and then you might be close to what Golden Phoenix's restaurant floor is like. Located on the Seventh level, this surplus of food extends the entire floor, having entire rooms dedicated to different cooking styles and food types. there's even an entire room dedicated to chocolate treats! There are no such things as picky eaters in Golden Phoenix; there is at least one room for everyone to enjoy. If a buffet is not your preferred method of dining, the last third of the floor is a dine-in area, with three specific rooms for casual, business casual, and formal.
