Orbis

There are different structures and dungeons located around Orbis. Each zone has different procedurally generated structures, but they all follow a few universal principles that make them similar, such as their general layout, although the block sets, creatures, and geology vary greatly between zones. The primary factions (that we know about) that inhabit the four known zones are as follows:

• Emerald Grove: Trorks and Kweebecs
• Howling Sands: Scaraks and Ferans
• Borea: Outlanders and the speculated Fauns
• Devastated Lands: Slothians

Orbis is the main, and first planet that players will spawn in. It is full of jungles, forests and mountain ranges, as well as a darker, fiery place called the Devastated Lands.

In Orbis, there are officers that once served to protect Orbis. These two Orbis Officers are named Tessa and Kyros. Tessa appears to be a friendly, helpful Orbis Officer, however Kyros looks as if he has been taken over by Varyn, due to the red eyes and mysterious look. We're sure more will be revealed about what happened to the Orbis Officers and what they're up to now.

Orbis features six zones in total, but only four have been revealed so far. These four zones that have been revealed are called the Emerald Grove, Howling Sands, Borea, and Devastated Lands. The 2 zones that have yet to be revealed are Zone 5 and Zone 6 (though we still have theories on what they are!). These zones all feature unique biomes within their area. For example, there are snowy biomes in Borea, as well as mountain ranges. There is an underground jungle biome that can be found in the caves of the Devastated Lands. While the world of Orbis is proceedurally generated, the zones will always follow the same basic layout, with Zone 1 located in the middle, the hotter Zone 2 to the south, and the colder Zone 3 to the North. The respective climates of the Zones become more intense the further into that Zone.

The Zones spawn together as one big continent. Surrounding the continent will be a big ocean with dangerous underwater creatures. When you travel over the big ocean, you will find a more random generated world called "the Infinite Lands". As the name implies this area will stretch infinitely far and has nothing to do with the story part of Hytale anymore. The Story of Hytale happens purely on the Island with the 6 Zones.

Orbis features a large amount of oceans in the alterverse concept art. The oceans start as a shallow sea, but lead to a very deep ocean, containing a wide range of structures, rewards, and dangers.
