No Realm at Character Creation
Being "foreign born" (not choosing a Realm when creating a character) means that a character wouldn't access any realm specific Vagaries at creation. However, if a player chooses to be from a later unlocked realm they will have the option to naturalize their character to that realm at no extra cost. This will allow them to swap any active Vagaries they have for realm specific ones of their new chosen homeland on a one for one basis.
Garden of the Golden Moths
Literal floating islands heavily shrouded in clouds that seem to float without aim. Only a select few ever receive an invitation to visit, often exclusive to individuals of high status. Even the current location of the isles tend to be kept under wraps. It is rumored that they are a lavish resort of some kind. Bard tales sing of a beautiful woman attended by equally lovely maidens that rule the Garden.

Wild Lands
The region of UR is vast, the realms are distant from one another and the space stretching between them can be treacherous. Things can become dangerous as one traverses the unincorporated territories. Many folks refer to these areas as the “Wild Lands”. It is wise to travel well armed and with large numbers, or at least have some skilled sell-swords with you. There are groups of humanoids called the Merciless who are known to butcher anyone they encounter and never take prisoners. It is rumored that they are cannibals lacking the ability to wield aether.

Over Ocean
Seldom few people have crossed the waters and lived to tell about it, let alone returned to tell their tales. It is said that there are two major realms that contact has been made with. One adventurer set sail for the distant lands, following ancient maps that were discovered from pre-cataclysmic times. Their ship wrecked, but they were a high knight dragon rider who took to the skies and managed to make it to a realm known as Londinium. Other stories come out of the distant lands to the south who tell stories of a realm they've contacted known as Karaaj.
Londinium
A large foggy island remeniscent of the machina of One Republic. Buildings are often made of hewn stone or wood and clothing is foreign to UR. It is said that it rains often.
Karaaj
Even less is known about this land. It is said that it has a warm climate, that people wear bright colored clothing with ornate stamped images, and that they have many temples with intricately carved stone motifs and spiraling towers.
