Atys is a living planet that is growing all the time. It is composed of multiple layers: the crust being the ground level, and beneath that are the twisting passages of the Prime Roots that stretch below the surface, and below that are the core levels. Above the surface is a network of huge branches, the canopy that extends towards the sky gradually forming another layer that will eventually become the new surface of Atys. The lands that are explored by homins are only a small portion of the surface of Atys, and a small portion of the Upper Prime Roots. No homin has ever set foot in the deeper levels of the Prime Roots, in the Core, or on the Canopies. Nevertheless the known regions of the world have widely varying ecosystems already.

The Burning Desert is a wind plagued wilderness, which is avoided by the most except the Fyros, who successfully rebuild their nation there. They have outpost in the south-eastern and north-western corners of the continent, but undoubtedly the most remarkable place is their capital Pyr in the Imperial Dunes, build as a stronghold. Even though various dangers are lurking nearly everywhere and peaceful oasis are rare, yet, the bravest Homins venturing into this hostile outback will be rewarded with the diversity of splendid and valuable resources, for instance the exotic woods of the desert.
The Verdant Heights are a forested area on Atys. They are an ideal and airy place for retreat and a continuous reminder on the dominance of nature. The majestic trees reach whopping heights and provide shelter for hundreds of Homins. Their huge roots created crevices in the ground, going deep inside into Atys. The forest is the preferred region of the Matis, who build their majestic capital and further villages into the region of Majestic Garden. There is an abundance of raw materials; most notably the various types of leaves.
The Old Lands is a gathering name for the entire area of Atys that was occupied by the homin nations before 2481. In 2481, all the homin nations were decimated in the Great Swarming, and the surviving homins fled to a new faraway land to rebuild there.
The Prime Roots make up the most mysterious ecosystem on Atys. Delving into the bowels of the planet, this never-ending labyrinth of deep caverns can astound the curious eye with its remarkable beauty, blinding them to the danger that also lurks within. Sap flows here in endless rivers and fluorescent plants softly light the way for travelers, while strange creatures prowl about in the shadows. The Prime Roots are home to a host of mysterious relics from the past as well as a wide range of resources that can found nowhere else.
Aeden Aqueous is a enchanting region between the jungle and forest of Atys. The numerous island are occupied by the lively Trykers, who made this marvelous place their home, especially in the central region of Liberty Lake. The landscape is also quite varied from white beaches, spectacular waterfalls, beautiful floating Tryker villages to cliffs whose forms are stimulating ones imagination. This region also contains several resources, especially many kinds of shells.
The Witherings is the primary location of the Jungle ecosystem on Atys. It is controlled by the Zoraï race, who have all their cities in the central region of Cities of Intuition.
