Location from Volume 5 by Rooster Teeth
The eastern kingdom on the continent of Anima — Team RWBY reunites here, in the capital city where Haven Academy hides the Relic of Knowledge beneath its foundations.
Mistral is the largest kingdom by territory and the stage for Volume 5's main action. The capital city rises on a mountainous plateau, layered like a wedding cake — the wealthy at the top, the criminal underworld literally beneath them, and Haven Academy crowning the upper tier. The team operates from a house on the outskirts, borrowed from one of Qrow's contacts. The wilderness of Anima surrounds the capital — dense forests, abandoned villages, and bandit tribes that thrive in the lawlessness between settlements. Raven's tribe camps somewhere in those wilds. The CCT is still down, leaving the kingdom semi-isolated from Atlas and Vale. Mistral's council is aware something is wrong at Haven but hasn't acted, and Professor Lionheart — the headmaster — is feeding information to Salem.
A vast kingdom spanning the continent of Anima — the wilderness is dense forest, rolling hills, and rugged terrain. The capital city of Mistral rises on a mountainous plateau, a multi-layered Asian-inspired metropolis with ornate wooden architecture, tiered levels climbing the mountain, and sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. Haven Academy crowns the upper tier.
