 A continent that was a group of civilized and diplomatic kingdoms working together, refusing the rule of HAZE instead governing themselves. When a felon usagi of HAZE carrying a strange item entered their domain, they forbade HAZE from entering and removing him, welcoming him as a visitor. The rest of the details are unclear to most, just knowing the areas is off-limits nowadays. If they think about it at all, they usually assume the item was misused and covered the area in unstable magics or something.
-The reality is far worse. The item was part of a dead planet's core, and he was able to use it to subtly manipulate the citizens. He altered the structure to benefit him, as those free of his control became more anxious. HAZE decided to send in a group to destroy him, and they failed. Specifically, one of them betrayed the others, not seeing the problem herself. As she sent more time with the usagi, though, it became clear just how much his actions were hurting the continent, and he was slain by the one he love, but not before leaving an heir.

 His heir proved even more dangerous, absorbing part of the core (which shattered as a result), ignoring the subtleties of control at all. She could make people do whatever she wanted, and she was going to. The continent quickly fell into civil war as she spread her control, and many of those who rose up against her only wanted power themselves, now armed with a shard of the core themselves. The continent was falling from its diplomacy and becoming unthinking armies, and HAZE decided to quarantine it and seal it off. The act was mostly pointless, though: The heir and her kind had no desire to leave, their armies had no thoughts of escape, and those who were still free of mind were the only ones who suffered its effects.

 The plains being a hotspot for races already, humans came along and started developing towns to entertain and engross travelers. Most of these towns thrived (due to contracts with minotaurs bought out from centaurs) and turned into bustling cities, pinnacles of creation and innovation, and symbols of civilization. Humans started to work with other races to form groups dedicated to eradicating things that threatened their lifestyles, most notably the once dangerous First Tellurians.
-Humans clearly won out, and many cities became melting pots of all races and cultures. Centaurs stuck to small farms, feeling most comfortable with that, and Nekos felt that they might not be able to beat the sheer magnitude of the humans, but they could certainly improve the quality, and built sleek futuristic cities. Harpies, who became upset over losing their cultural identity, became building their own villages again to try to preserve their traditions.

 Desert are already dangerous to many races on their own, the significant heat and lack of any viable subsistence make it deadly in general. This is not helped by the fact that it has some of the planet's deadliest creatures. Large vulture-like creatures set up large nests and head out in all directions, intent of stripping nutrition from any foolish enough to end up in the desert.

[[Human]]s tend to make the majority of the populations, but [[Usagi]] and [[Tengu]] are also almost exclusively found in cities now. [[Neko]]s and [[Goblin]]s enjoy making sleek futuristic cities, but these are few and far between due to the size and resources they need.
		+
		+	Wide, significantly less grassy deserts are currently largely uninhabited by races permanently, although there are many that feel at home in it at times, such as [[Salamander]]s and some breeds of the adaptable [[Giant]]s, Dragons, Fae, and [[Troll]]s. These areas are again home to many undiscovered treasures under the sand, and again many dangers.
		+
		+	Traveling to the opposite in humidity, the sea is equally filled with life. [[Merfolk]] most readily make up the majority of civilized water races and the only one exclusively in the water, making their homes in lopsided and tall buildings. [[Kappa]] and [[Undine]] have become involved with civilization and indeed can leave the water to travel to the surface to check out the offerings of those cities instead, and many races such as Salamanders, [[Naga]]s, or the adaptable races are able to travel down to see the offerings of the sea instead. However, by and large the sea is untamed, especially its darkest depths, which holds the same caveats as the deepest caves.
		+
		+	Returning to the surface and traveling up, larger hills and smaller mountains are most often associated with Giants, if only because they're most obvious there. As the temperature drops and the snow falls, larger mountains become home exclusively to [[Yuki]], who take unkindly to visitors in their small territory. This is aggravated when such mountains turn out to be volcanoes, which are hotspots (ha ha!) for Salamanders.
		+
		+	Yuki also dominate the freezing poles, but this is solely due to them being the only race capable of easily surviving there, and these Yuki, due to such large areas, are much friendlier to outsiders. But much like deserts, these areas house little hospitality in general, though they hide great rewards and dangers as well.
		+
		+	From the description, the following races were left out entirely:
		+	*[[Angel]] (Sure they can fly, but where do they hang naturally?)
		+	*[[Asura]] (Which isn't too hard to believe as they don't really have a set home)
