Each section of the world explores themes relevant to the world we live in. Chaos versus order, Prejudice and misconception, Many versus Few, Coming of age tales, War and Peace, Breaking cycles, loneliness or feeling isolated and being a part of something greater, greed, political systems, class warfare...etcetera. These are just examples of themes that will be explored within the world.
Through the action of the gods the rules of the world have been established. Gods have been assigned portfolios and have changed hands many times due to their infighting as well as their desires to expand their influence.
Civilizations have risen and fallen, wars have been fought and historic accounts have been written by the victors. Truth have been obscured and circumstances have been fabricated so people conform to the rules established by those in power. This may not be the same all over the world but are examples of situations of some cultures.
