1) A large and distinctly bounded Forbidden Zone in a mountainous region bordering the northern lands of Chronotopia on the continent of Ai. Whereas many Forbidden Zones are simply a hazard to passing airships, this one exemplifies magic at its (hopefully) wildest, the land twisted into a nightmarish horror, where it is hard to tell what is a creature, what is a building, what is a plant, or what much of anything is with any degree of certainty, as it all tends to blend and warp together. Locations of note within Bosch's borders would include the Crystal Tower, the Plains of Change (and Citadel of Change), the Cascades of Fire ... and a lone oasis of relative safety, the monastery known as the "Sanctuary of Gears" (or "Sanctuary of Order") located on its western end, connected by a mountain pass to Gallis. 2) The language of the nation of Chronotopia, a fairly "industrialized" land on the surface of Sinai, on the northern part of Ai, bordering Titania, the Vykarin Wastes and Sylvania. As for why the language of Chronotopia would be named after its greatest enemy, only the monk historians of the Celestial Order might know for sure, but legends hint at a time when Bosch was not quite the land of horrors that it is now.
