Previously, this thread was used for when the Guild was a world-hopping mobile home. Now that the guild has settled in one spot, this thread can be used for making worlds or realms separate from 'Gaia' or Earth in this Roleplay. These realms you can use as part of a story, or just on your own little ventures or backstory for a character.
Name - Self explanatory
Description - A detailed description of the dimension. List any prominent features of this place here. Landmarks, common occurences, possible inhabitants and other things. This could include:
Terrain, common Flora and Fauna
Gravity, Atmosphere, Climate and Weather
Kingdoms/empires/local towns/cities
And any other details you'd like to add about this world, go right ahead! Most of it could be covered in the general description but other things like what the dominant religious beliefs are or the hierarchy/government of the world can be put here. This boils down to just a simple guideline for making the summary of your dimension. This can be as simple or as complex as you like, but make sure to add enough detail that it's playable in!

Name: Sa'tarem; The Broken LandDescription: Sa'tarem is a dimension made of of many chunks of land that vary in size. While some of them simply have forests and rivers on them, the larger ones have small villages and even towns upon them. All these lands revolve and drift around one another and surround what appears to be a large star, which often becomes shrouded in a thick, impenetrable mist which is what causes night time for this land. Picture: Sa'tartem; The Broken LandGravity: Far below normal when not atop a floating piece of land. Each piece of land has a different level of gravity, depending upon it's size. Atmosphere: Normal Weather: Normal, mostly foggy/misty Local City/Town/Village: Oaknore Village Other: This land has a variety of creatures and races much like Gaia, however their technology is less advanced than Gaia's and their land is far more peaceful. They have various different types of flying vessels to reach different islands, all of which vary greatly in appearance. There are far more airborne creatures here than there are in Gaia, such as Skywhales and Skywyrms.

Name: Aquatanis; Land in the Eternal Sea.Gravity: Very low (lighter) Descrption: A futuristic-looking utopian city whom's entrance rests on the bottom of the deepest trench on the bottom of Gaia's seas. Once one passes the threshold of realm however, they'd find that Aquatanis rests within a world that is nothing but an endless sea filled with alien-like creatures. Picture: Aquatanis; Land in the Eternal Sea.Atmosphere: Wet. It's under freakin' water. The water is breathable due to an absurdly high level of magic and oxygen present within the water. Weather: Again, wet. There are some random currents that sweep through the area however, sometimes making it harder to see and harder to move. Local City/Town/Village: Octopus City. It got it's name from its aerial view.

Name: EverforestDescription: A giant forest of trees with cities built in them. These trees are so massive, an entire civilization can live in one. A single branch is big enough for the entire guild to sit on and still have plenty of room to walk around on. There are giant flowers that have lanterns that hang from them that float around the tree at night. There are tunnels within the trees with glowing mushrooms to light up the insides. There are mostly homes in the insides of the tunnels, but there a few shops/ recreational areas too. Below the trees is a dark void. Those who reside here say that the sunlight never reaches the forest floor and that giant creatures of darkness will sweep up anyone foolish enough to step foot down there. Picture: EverforestGravity: Normal Atmosphere: Normal. Has all four seasons with mild weather. It rains at least once a week. Weather: Normal. Tops of the trees are colder and sprinkled with snow. Local City/Town/Village: There are different towns within the trees, each with varying names, however they all function together as one large town. It has no name. Other: This land has varying levels of technology within it, but the most prominent level of technology rests somewhere between colonial and modern.

Name - Arktu, The High-Tech Feudal Country (Made by Grayson)
Description - The land is very plain, and lifeless. Plains stretch as far as the eye can see everywhere you look. The patches of forest that haven't been cleared, are multi-coloured trees, and rainbow coloured animals. The land is rather flat, with only a few rolling hills, and exactly one mountain in the distance. At night, two large moon can be seen in the sky, attached from a distance by rings.
Gravity - Normal
Atmosphere - Normal
Weather - Normal
Local City/Town/Village - The locals all live in a hamlet by the name of Anrita that sits just outside of a massive castle on a hill. The entire village exists of single room huts, however, when you step into one of these huts, the interior expands, usually becoming massive excessive space, with finely decorated walls. The colour scheme of every single house is the grayscale. Next to no colour to be seen in this land. The castle lies at the top of a hill, floating in the air, and only attached to the ground with large chains. The castle, too, is coloured in all shades of the gray scale. The locals are generally very kind, if not a bit odd. The local "Uniform", as it seems, is a simple gray robe, usually decorated with a piece of jewellery. The locals could all be classified as "mages", as they use magic daily along with their advanced technology. On the outside, the city is very plain, and middle-age looking, but once you enter, you can quickly see this is not the case. Technology created from Magic, and Magic created from Technology run this land. The inside of the city is very advanced, showcasing various teleportation methods for travel, such as teleportation pads, keys that open gateways into another area, and small rocks that both act as a key to their homes, and a one-way teleportation device for one person.

Name - Rückseite (Flipside)
Description - Two different lands and cities living on opposite sides of a mirror-like lake; It's a large archipelago made up of many islands; Most of them serve as towns and living districts, but there is a large island in the center of it all that is the shopping district and market, while the outer most lying islands serve as manufacturing and factory districts. Both lands have a medieval look about them, but are both significantly different. The the top world has towns that are well-kept and overall, pleasing to the eye, but the people are greedy, dark and corrupted. The bottom city is the exact opposite. The buildings are crumbling and made of an obsidian black stone, there's weeds growing in the streets and abandoned buildings are pretty-gloomy looking, but the people are all happy, cheery, kind and selfless. Both cities are made up of floating 'islands' that rest of the surface of silvery-water that has the look and feel of mercury. The floating islands on each surface vary in size but they are all connected by long, chain-like bridges. There is one train that runs through both sides of the worlds.
Another odd place about this world is that it's existence is completely unstable, and often leads to creating pieces of other "flipped' worlds due to travelers that enter and exit the dimension The guild's entrance into this world was no exception to that... Who knows what it could have caused...
Gravity - Normal on both sides. Depending on which side of the water you're on, the gravity on you will change as well.
Atmosphere - Normal.
Weather - Normal; if it's raining on one side, it's sunny on the other. If it's night on one side, it's day on the other.
Local City/Town/Village - The top, pearl city is called Unara while the bottom city is called Dunara.
Other: The large mass of water that the islands sit on has a silvery look to it-- similar to that of mercury. This water is actually a portal to the land that lies on the other side of the lake, and will change the properties of anything that passes through. Anything that enters the portal on one side, changes drastically on the other. Your powers invert, as does your appearance--to varying scales. The only things that arent effected severely are your personality and memories... but even that's temporary. It's been said that people's personalities will flip and change as well were they to remain on the other side for too long.
What determines which side is the 'other' side, though?

Name: The Hole (Moon)
Description: The Lunar Rabbit Society is much like the Lunarian society, a monarchy, but the rabbit's monarchy leans upon parlimentary as The Queen, Chang'e, acts as the head for both the Government and the Religious sects, of course being both heads as a physical god. Under the Queen lies 3 tiers of security with one mixing into religion. The Security and Personal Guardsmen, the Church, and lastly the Monitors. The Security and Personal Guards are the guardians of the Rabbit kingdom and the highest ranked guardians become personal security for the Queen. The guardians are not only physically strong and armed with magitech, but also having their inner power unlocked by Chang'e herself so their duties to protect this world from not only the outside, but the monsters that even dwell inside their world as well. The church are a second line of defense for the queen and of course is where religious prayer to the Queen is held, Special Priests are selected to be the heads of several churches in a sector and each Priest may not have power granted to them by Chang'e, but know their own magic to carry out their duties. Many Priests that are retired or those aiming to be priests but fail are often those who create the many magitech used in this world. Monitors are essentially the police equivalent for the Kingdom as well as being liasons from the people to the church or the Guardians when the people request something. They may not have special powers like the Guardians or Priests, but they can carry out their duties at keeping the peace.
8 sectors act as continents in this world, each significantly larger than you would think the Moon could hold as they were all created by Chang'e's power. 7 of these sectors are deemed "communities" as these are where most people live, while the last sector is reserved for Chang'e herself. The world is rather oriental despite the rabbit's connection to modern life on earth and the lunarians and their own knowledge, but simply because they choose it to be this way. They don't use electrical technology like we do, but "magitech." Examples of a magitech are the popular "picture stones." These stones record an event or picture of an object and create a hologram above themselves of varying sizes depending on their purpose. Small stones are usually used as cameras or camrecorders and phones while larger stones and the phone-type stones are connected to a "Tunnel network" whereas they show recorded videos in realtime, like a TV or Computer, some boulder sized stones can even act as the huge televisions you'd might see in Times Square. Other examples include large leaves that float upwards when stepped on and activated, acting as elevators, bamboo shafts with small connected glowing plants of varying colors that shoot out elemental attacks like flames and poison, and various wells of energy that release multicolored balls of energy up into the air as decoration like a lava lamp, harmless to all to touch. However, Lunar rabbits aren't the only ones who live here, many youkai also reside here as well. While not always friendly to the rabbits or other youkai, they mainly live in harmony or at least learn to deal with their presence.
Sectors: Pen- The highest sector and second most secluded, this is where the Queen resides. It is highly mountainous and densely fogged below the tops of the mountain. Security is everywhere here, either in the open, hiding in the brush at the base of the mountains, hiding in the fog, or beside their Queen, always alert. Pen is magically separated from the other continents by a magical barrier as well as being the furthest away from the other continents with only one entrance to the sector available only to guardians and selected Priests.
Umbra: Someone's original home. Unlike other sectors, this sector is always in a state of night with simply stars and the Earth acting as the "Moon" in the sky, giving the sector its rightful name due to its perpetual shade. It has the densest concentration of rabbits and is mainly oriental much like Japan was so long ago, with temples and shrines everywhere. It has many glowing lakes, plains, and shady forests, all filled with a variety of alien animals that are nice or very, very rude. It's considered the "country" in this world.
Ti'ren- Just north of Umbra but still connected, Ti'ren is mainly forested closer to Umbra but as you head further north you reach wide plains, long rivers, and few but huge normal lakes and furthest north you'd reach some cold and snow. Many villages line these rivers and lakes, oriental just like Umbra is, but sunlight actually reach the ground in Ti'ren during the day with a slight mix of youkai and rabbit. Due to Ti'ren's and Umbra's country nature, they're referred to as the "Backland Communities."
Nulvani- It is much more modern and citylike, mixing the oriental styles of the Rabbits with the cultures of the several youkai to make towering temples and huge entertainment districts with loads of magitech and magicians.
Markenbui- Just below Nulvani, separated by a thick delta is Markenbui, highly similar to Nulvani but focused entirely on business and merchandise. Toys, spellbooks, magitech, food, furniture, you name it. These two communities are referred to as the "Bazaar" due to their nature and closeness.
Mariana- One of the island continents, Mariana is mainly youkai with few rabbits. The architecture and technology here differs from the other continents due to a major youkai influence, making it appear much closer to Earth's current age. There are many "ghettos" in which dense populations of specific youkai reside.
Sin- The most secluded and smallet continents, it is an island continent that is essentially reserved to those who had gotten in trouble with the law or performed heathenous actions or any other event that caused them to be removed from their communities. Not many rabbits live her, a population that amounts to a measely 4 hundred, no other rabbits or youkai reside here because they are either turned away by guardians or if they get there, it's so boring they'd leave. The only reason such an island exists despite the Queen's niceness and mercy is that she doesn't know about it at all . Despite her mass power, she cannot see everything. It is a rather blad place, old temples and homes built within the jungle of the tropical island all in a single town that the entire population survives in. They have little magitech and no guardians even reside on the island and instead stay far away from it and turn away any trying to head in Sin's general direction. Strangely enough, all rabbits in Sin's population have scarlet hair.
Great Lands- An immeasurable continent, it's size constantly grows due to Chang'e's power, making the already largest continent still grow. This untamed land is where the monsters the guardians defend against roam freely, a negative aftereffect of Chang'e's power, but also proposes the sport of hunting for food. Depending on where you are, near the center you can be crossing a dry desert, but as you come near Ti'ren in the north it begins getting cold and snowy, but as you head down to Umbra it gets full of plains, rivers, and forests. Going east to Nulvani and Markenbui things would get less environmental and more urban as guardians and hunter patrol the forested areas. Down south heading to the beaches and ocean where the Maiana and Sin islands lay, you would find lush jungles and swamps. Monsters are strong and variable wherever you go in the great lands, they arenothing to look down on, hence why there is a maket for them. One special event occurs in the great lands; The Grand Challenge. Set nearby Nulvani, it is essentially a gladiator's conquest as each community sends a team of 6 chosen people to take part in the Grand Challenge's events, all for a chance for individual glory and bragging rights for their Sector, or in the slang case, for their "Den", and a chance to show off in front of the Queen who ovesees every Grand Challenge that occurs every 2 weeks. The Grand Challenge's buiding itself is much like a larger collesium fit for thousands upon thousands of people to view, anybody can participate as long as they're from a Den.
Gravity: Relatively the same as Earth's, despite being "in" the Moon.
Atmosphere: The air is completely breathable and has both mountainous areas and large seas, with deserts, forests, and tundra.
Weather: Fairly normal like Earth's, but depending on the zone, the skies can be perpetually dark at all times or different climates, such as snow, desert, or all in between.
Local City: Each Sector has its own "city" but a more appropriate way to call it is "a place where the population is densest" as the entire sector is practically a "city" since there are no capitals or described cities.
