Geography
Continents
Aretgia
A diamond shaped continent located near the equator. By far the largest land mass on the planet.
It features two large mountain ranges, between them and to their north rests the Kingdom that claims the continent's name. Wrapped around the south of the kingdom is the forest of petty. Below that, there is a giant expanse simply referred to as "The South." To the other side of the left mountain range lies the port dock of the kingdom, which is only safely connected by mountain tunnel. Past the right mountain 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 input by civilians. Because of this, the country has a sense of tradition, it is a relatively more controlled 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 veins, 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. From space, the kingdom looks like the mountain's literal heart and veins. Outside of the kingdom resembles a standard fantasy setting, with towering mountains and plains fill with odd dangers and small settlements.
Regorta
A large vaguely crescent shaped continent, Near the north of the planet, with it's opening facing Aretgia to it's southeast.
Most of it's signature civilization lives in the Northeast 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 nonrestrictive, 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.
To the Southwest, there is a huge expanse of jungle. It is filled with dangerous plantlife, and it is generally not considered viable to start civilization there. In that respect, it is also free for the taking, and is filled with secret laboratories and wizard's domains.
Sulapel
A continent with a protrusion pointing to Aretgia to it's northeast.
The majority of it's civilization lives at the center of the continent, and is divided by a 3 tier class structure. North, West, and East, in descending order of wealth. It is the most earth-like of all the civilizations in Yulatra, and runs on capitalism and a republic based government. It's wealth and technology are significantly lower than that of Aretgia and Regorta, which again causes the continent to more closely resemble earth. It's inhabitants are often stereotyped as fanatical and crazy, as it is often filled with cults or other passion driven madness. In tune with this theme, Sulapelians love poetry, theater, and the arts. It is the abusive home of the rekken, the only race to consistently live alongside humans.
Surrounding most of the core of civilization lies vast expanses of desert. It is inhabited by magical beasts, the greatest of which has long since been worshiped as the god, and has souls sacrificed to it. Usually those of the unfortunate yet apathetic Rekken. through the desert and to the northeast, there is a forest of cacti and palm trees referred to as "The forest of Echos." No one knows what's in there, as it's enchanted to be impossible to return from.
Utra
Hewa
Villu
A rocky continent, near the south, to the south of Regorta. It was mostly deserted before the arrival of the chaos breakers, with relatively rocky beaches that did not lend themselves well to life or 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. The tower extending out from the continent is so large in circumference that sailors refer to it as "The wall at the world's end."
Regions
Forest of the Petty
Forest of Echos
Forest of plagues

Major Landmarks
The Rise
Forest Crater
Shrine of the Nameless
Frost Core
Chaos Breaker Tower

Ecology
Races
Humans
Rekken
Dragons
Warrel
Monsters
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.
