Concept: Worlds (Reality)

Lots of posts today, all of them long.

Reality, or the Overworld, is where everything resides at the beginning of the game. This world, which still needs a name, resembles Earth in a way, but with four continents instead of seven. These continents, or Regions, are rather different in appearance. Starting with Josh's home Region: Wesnoth.

This place sucks. No better way to describe it. With very few areas like Redhaven, Josh's peaceful hometown, Wesnoth is a Region of destruction. Most children are actually taught very early on, "If you want something, but can't have it, blow it up! The nobody can have it!"
Most Wesnothians are vile people, selling things constantly that may or may not be real, stealing from others, even fighting the other Regions. This Region houses some of the most violent people in the world, and is the start of most wars, especially with Quetzalquartz. But... was it always like this?

Next is Quetzalquartz, the exact opposite of Wesnoth. At least, on the surface.
The massive crystal buildings of Quetzalquartz are blindingly bright, almost as if every city in this Region wants the world to know what Region they're in. With many of the rich and powerful people residing here, Quetzalquartz is the place to be if you're high up in society. But underneath all this beauty (and endless musical puns) lies something rather disturbing. Maybe this place isn't so great, honestly...

Zynchronus, the secretive Region. Not much is known about this Region, but it always seems to be covered by a massive wall of smoke. Some say that there's nothing but factories running there now, but those who say this have no idea what they could be producing. It's strange, though. And to add to that, there have been rumors of different colored lights that seem to be staring at those who dare pass too close to the Zynchronian shores...

Finally, Palovus. This is the Region of peacekeepers, a Region where everyone tries their best to make sure no more fights break out. It's been said that long ago, shortly after yet another war with Quetzalquartz, something terrible happened to another Region. Through process of elimination, people believe Wesnoth attacked Zynchronus, but nobody knows why, or even how, they got over there...
Palovinians always seem cheerful, and they seem to enjoy being the only "normal" Region in this world. With a "palace of destruction", a place of endless lights, and a mysterious factory being the other Regions, Palovinians seem to pride themselves on their rather "standard" RPG town setting. But maybe something else is happening there. I mean, nobody can be happy all the time, right? Especially not an entire Region...

These Regions are all surrounded with water. It's like a massive ocean between every Region. Nobody really knows what goes on in this ocean, or even if something actually is happening. However, storms seem to be a bit more common as of late.
Hm.

"Hey, wait..."
"I'm not the only one who saw that figure, right?"
