Ratayu was famous throughout the three continents of Legaia due to many characteristics. Like Vidna , Ratayu was also known for its hot springs, though they weren't as numerous as the springs in Vidna. Ratayu served as a common destination for travelers as the city provided the only way to get to certain geographical locations. The West Gate of Ratayu led to the islands in the west of Sebucus and its East Gate led to the famous Mt. Letona and the Genesis Tree at its summit. This led to Ratayu being known as the City of Checkpoints by travelers.
