Region

Regions are the greater areas of the game. All different areas in the same region would typically share the same environment, weather and creatures.

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.
