Look for RWBY world map I tried to post the link but doesn't show.
Aincrad territories
Aincrad is currently between Vale and Mistral, City A is the island at the bottom where all the white trees or mountains are.
City B is on the islands that belong to Mistral but aren't completely connected to it, while City C is where the small patch of trees are in Sanus.
the patch of trees is the ones that are not near the ruins, they are the ones that are away from the ruins.
The mines are underneath Aincrad, meaning that Aincrad is the only one capable of getting the Dust on the ocean floor.

"Well, that was a disaster.' Ghira Belladonna the Chieftain of Menagerie says to himself as he sits down to eat.
The restaurant he is in is one o many that exist inside the castle, while it's nowhere near as fancy as he would have imagined it to be, it is luxurious in its way.
The trees on this floor are covered in different colors flowers bloom everywhere and the air here is so sweet that he understands why the people of Vale and Mistral pay so much, only to come here during their vacation.
He barely has enough time to take the first bite of his stake when he hears a familiar voice.
"You have a lot of nerve coming here White Fang." He hears the deep voice of a dragon Faunus.
"What do you want?" he asks the man as he tries to ignore the knight.
"I want to know why you are here." the dragon asks him.
'To negotiate trade between this Kingdom and my own." he answers the knight who sits in front of him.
For a long moment, Ghira doesn't know what to think the dragon in front of him has long blue hair and red horns but the man is wearing green armor that reminds him of a certain grass that is sold as medicine.
Ghira cuts another piece of his stake and takes a bit, he ignores the man's glare and continues to eat.
'I'm trying to decide if I want to help you or not." the man in front of him says to him.
"like you help those beneath you?" Ghira says to the man before he takes a drink from his glass that is filled with expensive wine.
"Everyone is free to leave when they want, and the only group that is forced to stay here are the ones that come here to cause trouble." the man says to him, before letting out a small breath of fire.
'What I want are the teleporters, a trade deal, and an alliance." Ghira says to the man bluntly, there's no reason for him to hide why he is here.
the man starts to laugh loudly before suddenly stopping and looking at him with a mixture of amusement, disbelief, and mockery, but there's something else in the man's eyes, curiosity.
"Why would you the leader of the Free Faunus world would want to form an Alliance with us?" the dragon asks him.
"Because you don't lie and because the teleporters can change the outcome of a war, either by getting civilians away from harm or by sending specialized troops where they are needed the most." Ghira answers the man.
"That's true." Asuna says to him as she sits on the remaining chair.
"If we agreed to do this, what do you offer in exchange?" she asks him.
Ghira can feel it, years of combat have given him a sixth sense, he is in more danger than he's ever been, he controls his instincts because he can feel them, they surrounded him, so there's no way that he can escape if he wanted to.
A place where you can have an embassy, where you can rule over however you want, as long as trade between my people and yours is fair." he answers Asuna.
"But Chiefman, what do your people consider fair?"
"Would they want access to the castle, when no other kingdom or our own people are allowed to enter freely?" Asuna asks him, as she signals to him to look at the many golems that are guarding the restaurant.
Ghira knows that the woman isn't threatening him, no he has seen the monsters, the guards, the undead, and the golems that patrol the kingdom, he is well aware that the castle has more defenses than the ones that he has seen.
"No, they would just want to trade and visit without having to worry bout having a collar on their necks." he answers her.
"What about the embassy, will those that don't like our methods agree to not attack it?" the dragon asks him.
"No, I can't guarantee that.' he answers the man.
'Then how about a compromise, if someone attacks our people o the embassy itself then the ones that are responsible will be handed over to us."
Ghira turns to look at the dragon, he is prepared to yell and threaten the man, but he stops when he sees that none of the mockery that was in the man's eyes earlier is anywhere to be seen.
"You want me to let you enslave my people?" he asks them.
"No, we want to live without having to worry about someone attacking us, because they don't like the way that we do things." Asuna says to him.

The sound of someone knocking at the door caught their attention and Jaune was surprised to see a woman that has the spots of a leopard and a woman with wolf ears push themselves into his room.
"Lord Heathcliff." His grandpa says as both women sit next to him.
Jaune doesn't say anything as his brain can't understand that his grandpa has a woman in each hand, both women giggled as they look at his grandpa as if he was the most desirable man in the world.
"So are you going to let me in?" Heathcliff asks Jaune and Jaune steps aside to let the man wearing the red armor walk inside.
"So you're here to renegotiate our contract." Heathcliff says to his grandpa who nods.
"Okay let's begin."

Jacques Schnee looked at the crystal in his hands and frowned, this technology or maybe it was some sort of naturally occurring crystal was worth a fortune and he was being denied it.
The man in front of him had made it clear that the potions, medicines, and crystals wouldn't be sold outside of Aincrad.
The Leader of the Army Guid had come to his room to hear what he had to say.
Jacques said everything that he rehearse so that the man didn't believe that he didn't want anything more than to form good relations between the kingdom and his company.
"I'm sorry Mr Schnee but I'm afraid that that isn't possible at the moment." thinker says to him.
"Why, isn't my offer good enough?" Jacques asks the man.
"No, your offer is great but we would have to rewrite everything to make it work."
"While I am not saying that working with you is impossible, I am saying that at the moment we aren't able to."
"Let me explain, Atlas and Mantle are simply too far away, and we are having a lot of problems transporting what we sell to Vale and Mistral, because of the attacks of the Grimm, and the raids of the White Fang.
"And as you know we don't have any trade with Mantle, Atlas, Menagerie and Vacuao for similar reasons."
Jacques didn't say anything he just shook the man's hand, there are other ways for him to get what he wants even if he has to put others in front of him, to do it.
Thinker had heard him and even gave him a valid reason why they couldn't work together at the moment, he could respect that, but he was still a businessman and that meant that he didn't accept the word no when someone said it to him.
