Region

Regions are the greater areas of the game. All different areas in the same region show the same loading screen and are usually related in geography, weather, plants and wildlife.

A region usually consists of:
 * one town (the region's "capital")
 * several explorable areas
 * several outposts
 * several mission locations

Quests from the same region will be grouped in the same heading (named after the region) in the Quest Log panel.
