Outer World is split between two dominant continents. The southern continent has been explored and settled in far greater extent than the northern continent. The southern continent is a civilized land run by a group called The Masters. Each country within has a representative within the group, a voice for their country. The Masters control all trade routes, agreements, economy, and all other matters of the land. The northern continent is home to some civilization, but most of the area is unexplored due to the vast wastelands sprawling across the continent. The Wastelands is the name given to the unsettled or sparsely settled territory in the North, not including the major cities and towns and any settlements in their immediate spheres of influence.
