Okay, so I just had this surge of creativity during Creative Writing class (go figure) of different ways to stir up some plot and struggle in Yugure should the League of Mists plotline ever fall flat or boring, though I seriously doubt it X3 This is what I mentally penned down. The Drought This year, something strange is going on in Yugure... River beds are drying up, plants are dying, animals are starving, and everyone is beginning to enter survival mode... Food is scarce, and tensions will be high. Everyone is scrapping for even the smallest sip of water. The sun is beating down on Yugure, and it's really beginning to threaten the lives of the creatures who live here. Will you too lose your wits, or shall you ride out this dry year in the realms?
The Night of Eternal Darkness Night has fallen, as usual. But something's abnormal about this night. It won't come to an end. The sun, for some reason, is not rising. Creatures of the night run amok chaotically, disrupting the lives of those who prefer to hide and wait out the darkness... Everything is asleep. It's almost as if time has stopped, and Yugure will remain frozen until the sun rises again. How long will it be before the plants begin to die and the weather begins to shift? What will you do in this time of never ending darkness?
The Great Freeze A massive and sudden blizzard has covered all of Yugure! Blankets and blankets of snow lie everywhere, and it's beginning to affect the heat requiring and loving animals of the realms... Can your character pull through this unusual, everlasting freeze?
The Pandemic Some creature has died due to some unknown illness... But now, it's beginning to spread. All we know about the illness is it is very deadly, it is not airborne, and it is highly infectious. It begins as a severe fever and mild insanity but ends in blood, lack of mobility, and untimely death. No one is safe. The weak will go fast, but not easily... The strong may pull through. Will the creatures of Yugure discover a cure before all is lost?
The Flood Out of no-where it seems! A massive storm has brought a flood to Yugure! Those bound to the ground better look to the airborne creatures for help on this one! (Major derp idea, right?)
I will probably write more on these later on if I come up with anymore ideas XD

Okay so my brain has decided to keep brainstorming. I was doing some daydreaming of different realms that may be a thing for Yugure... Or not! Whatever Lol This is what I came up with. The "Heaven" RealmWhen we die, we all go somewhere, don't we?For most of us, we give into death, and we leave everything behind in the waking world. From this release, we receive bliss. Through bliss, we enter Nirvana. We all see each other as equals here. We watch over our living loved ones here. There is no hunger or strife or struggle or judgement in this realm. There is only love, peace, and acceptance.The skies are always day. Everything is as if you are walking on an unending cloud. There are tall waterfalls coming from no where and the sun is always shining. There are clouds everywhere that you may leap here and there to. There are countless places to relax in and just be lazy. Fitting Realm MusicThe "Hell" Realm
We're all meant to die, but not all of us deserve to rest in peace... Some of us die with evil in our hearts, as sad as it is. Here in the Underworld, the world is endless and intimidating. The feeling of comfort and peace is completely gone. An eerie-ness as if you are being eternally judged and followed by some unholy entity is ever present. No matter where you go, no matter where you are, no matter how far you travel, you cannot escape from the feeling that there is something sinister and ungiving about this place. And you are doomed to remain here forever in this realm of poor unfortunate souls... Everything seems to be covered in black ash. All structures are stone and the atmosphere is smokey and unsettling. There are no cozy places to hide, as everything is wide open and suspended. Any structures are huge and intimidating, making one feel small and insignificant. It's like an abandoned unending, wasteland here. Fitting Realm Music
The "Paradise" Realm
Beyond the desert lies the greatest oasis the world has never seen. Some of us pursue a greater form of mortal paradise, and if one were to brave the unrelenting heat of the desert, they would reach the edge of the continent, where palm trees are plenty and the cool breeze of the night seems to always be present. The moon is always close even as the sun rises. The entire realm breaches the edge of a tropical tree line, a beach, and a rocky coast leading out to the ocean. It's always beautiful outside. There are a few tiny caves and even a straw hut. Fitting Realm Music
The Swamp Realm
Beyond the Spires is something of a bog, where trees and grass grow in water and it's very hard to find a place to sit down that's not muddy or wet or just water itself. Wetland predators such as crocodiles and other assorted monsters lurk these murky waters... Tons of grasses and ponds and bogs and trees crowd the land. Shrubs too make it a bit hard to navigate the realm. There is only one real mainstream pathway to walk. Fitting Realm Music
The "Underwater" Realm
Beyond the Volcanic Isles is open water, and beyond that water is Rakuen, but it matters not what is on the surface... Above the water, all one would see is singular desert island. Below, however, is a magnificent coral reef and a secret underwater city eroded by time. Schools of fish and dolphins surround you as you swim through the underwater realm. The aquatic creatures live here. Here, you shall find secret caves, trenches, and much more. But beware of open water..! Sharks may getcha..! Or worse... Besides the seamonsters, Utsukushii Reef is rather lovely place! Fitting Realm Music
The Abandoned Island
Far, far away... Beyond the beyond, lies a lonely island. Previously called the Isle of Solitude, the Cult of Sorrows claimed this island as their own. Here, the League of Mists resort and plot their evil doings... They have their children here. They sleep and eat here on this island. Here, the good creatures of Yugure are far from safe... Here in the Isle of Sorrows, a mysterious atmosphere looms. Look around, and you will find hidden treasures and secrets... There are caves and stone arches everywhere. Strange plants and animals inhabit this tiny land. You will walk on strange white sand and abnormal stone. You will also see marble structures and statues. There is a blueish tint over everything. Certain objects and platforms float in mid-air. Fitting Realm Music
The "Mountain" Realm
These mountains hold more than what is present on the surface. They are the home of many cave dwelling creatures... This mountain line resembles the alpine mountains of our own world, and for the most part, its mainly a home for cave dwellers. There is a fine river running through the mountain lines and a few streams.

Honestly.. /I/ can make maps. I could try to make a few of these for you but I don't know how to make certain things like clouds or the like. and even then I think I can link them to the Yugure maps.
I know how to make a height map, which, for like the Heaven Realm, wouldn't be that hard, but things like clouds and such I don't think I could do.
But I could sure give it a shot. (Not sure how well I'd do, though, or if I'd have the time with how I juggle RPs and chats now-a-days)

I was actually looking forward to maybe bringing these maps to light through a long process of blueprinting and everything XD So maybe you could help me out with these processes of map making? I know about how the heights work and that you eventually need to incorporate blue and green and red to assign textures, but I'm afraid I'll get too frustrated with it turning out the wrong way XD But regardless, if I ever wanted to even hook these up to Yugure, I know Enoki would have a lot of say-so on the size and base height of the terrain and everything along those lines ( ._.) But still, it would be nice if I knew how to these maps and the preset stuff XD I'd like to learn. And oh my goodness it would be brilliant to see you come up with these maps if you ever do get a chance to take a shot at it, be sure to fill me in on it! I know you can download clouds and that kinds of stuff just like meshes. The Heaven realm would be pretty easy, but it would take quite an amount of planning ^^' Maybe I could elaborate on that today in class while I'm sitting there bored in class because I finished all my work XDD

I could certainly give it a shot, and if it helps any, I can make maps that use six textures. Not three. But yeah, at the mention of the cloud thing, it'd help to get those at my disposal for use in the map if I ever do take a jab at it.
You ever wanna talk about it more in depth, I'm always here. x3
