History

Doga is in the far west. Here the Claymore series begins with Raki meeting Clare.

Stora, Egon, Shire and Mount Shire, where Clare travels to from Doga, may be in the vicinity.

Elsewhere in the region is the town of Hanel (mentioned at beginning of anime Scene 15, town is unnamed in manga). Hanel has a Teresa and Clare statue on display.

Nearby Mount Zakol is headquarters ("Witch's Maw") of Riful of the West (Scene 42, anime Scene 15).

Lacroa (first mentioned by Rimuto in Scene 89), town where Clare, Cynthia and Yuma end up fighting an Organization seach party and Awakened Being, then discover Rubel was watching.

Ticheri (first mentioned by one of Dae's men in Scene 96), where north of the town, The Destroyer bursts out of Riful's Second Hideout, then demolishes Ticheri with Parasitic Rods.

Miria's Mystery Village

Miria speaks about a village that may be in Lautrec, according to one manga translation. The village is "deep in the mountains," in "an area in the southwest, the furthest from the Organization's control." The villagers were shocked to see Miria when she visited. And that the villagers never heard of Yoma. (Scene 79, VIZ translation).
