According to [[Cogita]], her ancestors, the Sinnoh people, lived in Hisui and worshiped {{ga|Arceus}} one or two millennia before the events of {{g|Legends: Arceus}}.

The next humans to arrive in Hisui came from across the sea. The [[Diamond Clan|Diamond]] and [[Pearl Clan]]s took the name of the Celestica people as their own. These clans both worshiped a deity known as "almighty Sinnoh", with the Diamond Clan claiming it {{p|Dialga|created time}} and the Pearl Clan claiming it {{p|Palkia|created space}}. This disagreement set off a long-running feud between the two clans. Members of the clans also came to venerate the descendants of the ancient Noble and Ride Pokémon and appointed themselves as [[warden]]s to tend to their needs. | The next humans to arrive in Hisui came from across the sea.

The Hisui region, much like its modern day counterpart of [[Sinnoh]], features a variety of terrains, whether it be rocky mountains, moist swamps or vast oceans, many of Sinnoh's visuals and weather are retained. Hisui's environment is much more abrasive and harsh and due its more recent settlement, there is very little man-made activity with only one village and two other settlements. Activity is sprawling with more Pokémon than in the future, with many of them acting hostile. | The Hisui region, much like its modern day counterpart of [[Sinnoh]], features a variety of terrains, whether it be rocky mountains, moist swamps or vast oceans, many of Sinnoh's visuals and weather are retained.

Also like Sinnoh, Hisui is a large region that can be split up | Also like Sinnoh, Hisui is a large region that can be split up, usually between an Eastern and a Western half with [[Mount Coronet]] at its center. The location and environment will change the cloak that {{p|Burmy}} wears, and determine the form of {{p|Shellos}} and {{p|Gastrodon}} that are found. Unlike Sinnoh, the region is also split further than just the two halves, containing five separate sub-regions, often split into their own smaller environments. These sub-regions include: the [[Obsidian Fieldlands]], the [[Crimson Mirelands]], the [[Cobalt Coastlands]], the [[Coronet Highlands]] and the [[Alabaster Icelands]]. | ||
The Obsidian Fieldlands is the least hostile of the five sub-regions. The location, as its name suggests, features grassy plains with flower patches and forests that surrounded by beaches and mountains at its ends. The Obsidian Fieldlands is located in the Southwest of Sinnoh which would eventually become [[Sandgem Town]] and {{rt|201|Sinnoh}} | The Obsidian Fieldlands is the least hostile of the five sub-regions. The location, as its name suggests, features grassy plains with flower patches and forests that surrounded by beaches and mountains at its ends. The Obsidian Fieldlands is located in the Southwest of Sinnoh which would eventually become [[Sandgem Town]] and {{rt|201|Sinnoh}}. The Obsidian Fieldlands is flat enough to [[Ride Pokémon (Hisui)|ride]] {{p|Wyrdeer}} across the location. The fieldlands' meadows and terrain are split up between two rivers that lead from the north and into the south, ending into the ocean of [[Sandgem Flats]] and [[Ramanas Island]]. The more one follows the paths leading southeast, they'll be met with several hills in the center of location, and further more wooded areas containing [[The Heartwood]]. On the opposite side in the southwest is body of water known as [[Lake Verity]]. | ||
The Crimson Mirelands, the location that would eventually become modern day [[Pastoria City]], the [[Great Marsh]] and [[Solaceon Town]], is entirely filled with swamps and rivers, and as its name suggest, plenty of red mud and soil. It is located in the southeastern end of the region. It has multiple ruins and inscriptions such as the [[Solaceon Ruins]]. [[Fog]] is often present in this the Mirelands. While still grassy, it is much more hilly and steep compared to that of the Obsidian Fieldlands. The swampy terrain of the Crimson Mirelands allows for peat to be found. The [[Diamond Settlement]] sit on the Northern end of the Crimson Mirelands, with [[Lake Valor]] resting beside it. | The Crimson Mirelands, the location that would eventually become modern day [[Pastoria City]], the [[Great Marsh]] and [[Solaceon Town]], is entirely filled with swamps and rivers, and as its name suggest, plenty of red mud and soil.

The Eastern side of Hisui are the beaches of the Cobalt Coastlands. These beaches would eventually become the Eastern side of Sinnoh, including [[Sunnyshore City]] and [[Valor Lakefront]]. These beaches are often rocky, and will require a way to get from one side to another such as the use of a {{p|Basculegion}} to ride on. | The Eastern side of Hisui are the beaches of the Cobalt Coastlands.

These beaches are often rocky, and will require a way to get from one side to another such as the use of a {{p|Basculegion}} to ride on. Shaped like a crescent, the lowerhalf of the location reaches out to the east with a hand-shaped beach known as [[Sand's Reach]]. The location has several boxes and washed up trash from old cargo ships, allowing for Burmy to change into its Plant Cloak. On the upper half, divided by [[Veilstone Cape]], is the [[Spring Path]] containing Hisui's fourth lake and [[Turnback Cave]]. The Cobalt Coastlands features volcanic activity in the form of [[Firespit Island]], which much be traveled to by water. | ||
The core of Hisui is the Coronet Highlands with its most defining features being the tall and rocky Coronet Mountain range with [[Mount Coronet]] at its heart. The highlands reaches high altitudes with very little roads, requiring the need of a Pokémon such as {{p|Sneasler}} to traverse its rocky slopes. The mountain range, and not limited to Mount Coronet or peaks, has a [[magnetic field]] that allows for Pokémon such as {{p|Nosepass}} to evolve. The mountains contain several pools of water, with one such spring, the [[Fabled Spring]], to be where {{p|Clefairy}} gather under a full moon. Inside the mountain range are numerous caves and tunnels, including [[Wayward Cave]]. Multiple [[ruins]] from the Celestica People are found the higher one travels, ending at the snowy summit Mount Coronet where the [[Temple of Sinnoh]] lies. | The core of Hisui is the Coronet Highlands with its most defining features being the tall and rocky Coronet Mountain range with [[Mount Coronet]] at its heart.

The most northern part of Hisui is the Alabaster Icelands. Like it's modern day counterpart of {{rt|216|sinnoh}}, {{rt|217|sinnoh}} and [[Snowpoint City]], it is covered in snow. Like many parts of the region, the icelands are also incredibly rocky and mountainous, these rocky formations are often covered in thick-slippery ice that even Sneasler cannot climb. This is especially true in the southern ends of the location that connects to rocky locations of the Coronet Highlands, which like it, has some caves and tunnels. The Alabaster Icelands is mostly barren, but still contains vegetation and tall trees, as well as a river. There is multiple hot springs that one can visit. Many of these springs are found at the [[Pearl Settlement]] that rests at the cliffs below [[Snowpoint Temple]]. Above these cliffs is also [[Lake Acuity]], containing a waterfall that leads to the river. | The most northern part of Hisui is the Alabaster Icelands.

===Climate=== | |||
{{main|Sinnoh#Climate|Sinnoh → Climate}} | |||
Hisui's climate contains many elements from its modern day, but also contains many differences from what one would otherwise expect. The Pokémon are not the only thing that is harsh, but as is the region's climate. | |||
Each sub-region has its own sub-climate, with Hisui's going through its own seasonal changes. These changes are usually accompanied by the [[Forces of Nature]]. Like Sinnoh, the region is colder in temperature taking place farther north than other locations, allowing for people to dress more appropriately in bundled clothing. In {{g|Legends: Arceus}}, the weather typically typically changes all on its own and random intervals. Each sub-region has its own sub-climate, with the Obsidian Fieldlands and Coronet Highlands having mostly clear skies; the Crimson Mirelands typically being more moist and damp, the Cobalt Coastlands often has rainshowers and the Alabaster Icelands is known to have strong winds and snow. These weather conditions are not exclusive to the individual locations (aside from snow), but are ore common amongst them. | |||
In ''Daybreak'' a small story found in Legends Arceus, four of the five locations will have harsh rainstorms that causes [[Massive mass outbreak]]s to occur. In the Alabaster Icelands, which can't have rain, has strong snow storms instead. | |||
Hisui is unique among other locations, in that it is known to carry [[space-time distortion]]s when a space-time rift occurs over the head of Mount Coronet. These disturbances can appear throughout the entire region, and brings Pokémon, items and even people from alternate timelines or realities. | |||
===Ecology=== | |||
Hisui's harsh environment and climate is much different from most regions of the modern day, leading to many Pokémon being uniquely found within the region as well. Many of which are also not found in the modern-day Sinnoh as well, leading many Pokémon to have gone either extinct or migrate out of Hisui by the time the events of {{g|Diamond and Pearl}} happen. Hisui's conditions have brought forth many [[evolution]]s and [[regional form]]s that are not found else where in the world. The regional forms first discovered in the Hisui region are described as [[Hisuian form]]s. | |||
[[Professor Laventon]] of the Galaxy Team is a [[Pokémon professor]] who studies the ecology of Pokémon, and is tasked by the Survey Corps to create Hisui's first [[Pokédex]], studying the Pokémon nature and ecology. | |||
===Demographics=== | |||
{{incomplete|section|reason=is 111 accurate?}} | |||
Hisui has a total population 111 people split up between the [[Galaxy Team]], the [[Diamond Clan]] and the [[Pearl Clan]], having the shortest popular of people to date compared to other regions' introductions as result of Hisui being recently established. Due to the Galaxy Team and Jubilife Village being up of people from all over the world, many of Hisui's civilization has people coming from all previously existing regions. | |||
