Aretgia
A diamond shaped continent located near the equator. By far the largest land mass on the planet. It is refered to as Yulatra's "Body" or core, and is often drawn at the center of maps.
It features two large mountain ranges, between them and to their north rests the Kingdom that claims the continent's name. Below it the the forest of the Petty covers the southern tip of the continent. To the other side of the left mountain range lies the port dock of the kingdom, which is only safely connected by mountian tunnel. Past the right mountian range, the Lunatic's Strip connects the forest and the northern towns of Aretgia, and connects the continent to the waters of The Rise.
It as always been ruled over by the Crystal Family Line. The rule is an absolute monarchy, with no imput by civilians. Because of this, the country has a sense of tradition, which is to say, it is sometimes extemely backwards in terms of it's social policies. It is a relativly more controled nation than any other on the otherwise very free planet.
The country has a focus on biotechnology, with various contraptions made out of flesh. This defines the look of the civilization, to the human-fleshed robots that enforce the country's laws to pipe systems made of out giant beating hearts and viens, to the buildings made of self healing skin and/or bone like material. It is often belittled by the civilians of other nations for it's gross/disturbing nature.
Regorta
A large vaguely crescent shaped continent, Near the north of the planet, with it's opening facing Aretgia to it's southeast. It is sometimes referred to as the "mind" of Yulatra.
Most of it's signature civilization lives in the north-right section, with tall skyscrapers and city walls, and large docks that spread out a long way into the water. It has always been ruled over by Arlen the Cyberlich and a parliament of scholars. Neither are particularly relevant however, as the state is extremely liberal, to the point of being almost lawless. This freedom has given the nation the position as the world's leader in magical and technological advancement (disregarding the chaos breakers.) With this, the nation has a very cyberpunk aesthetic to it. And is looked down upon as a dystopian hellhole as much as it is praised as a land of freedom and science.
Next to the city is a large body of water, with various purifiers and processing plants for the good of the city. The rest is all covered in forest with a few farm villages, with the exception of the Forest Crater.
Sulapel
Utra
Hewa
Villu
A rocky continent, near the south, to the west of Hewa. It was mostly deserted before the arrvial of the chaos breakers, with relatively rocky beaches that did not lend themselves well to civilization.
After Graiin's Rise to power, the chaos breaker tower appeared there almost overnight, covering the harsher majority of the continent. Now it swarms with races and species otherwise alien to Yulatra. It's used as a haven for retired chaos breakers that for whatever reason cannot return home. Houses are scattered about with no rhyme or reason, and consist of random alien architecture that do not always follow consistent building codes.

Gazes
These creatures are summoned from Yulatra's moon, which is enchanted to eternally give of a symbol of an eye gazing back to whoever looks at it. It was the invention of Lunatic Teal, as his main front for intentionally getting everyone to hate him. When a collective community all has a common anxiety, the moon will summon a gaze to materialize it, which will terrorize that community until defeated by brute force. They have no restrictions for who they will attempt to go after, so long as Yulatra's moon shines there.
For example, lets say everyone in a community watches kill la kill, and collectively thinks "Gee, Ragyo sure is scary, I hope she doesn't randomly come molest me." When the moon next comes into view, a crude clone of Ragyo will materialize and start running around trying to molest people. It should be noted that the will only take forms that or hostile or uncomfortable, as they were invented with the sole intention of being a common enemy.
These are one of the biggest threats in the world even in Graiin's era. Many of Graiin's campaigns are simply sending people to defeat these things after they've been summoned. These monsters are the reason the horror genre and erotic fanfiction are illegal in Yulatra.
