American Wasteland

The American Wasteland was once the continent that made up all the countries and territories on the northern half of the western hemisphere, where countries such as the United States, Mexico and Canada resided. Once, it was a massive area where all the countries lived freely, a prospering society even with the strange mystical world that had formed in the past 100 years thanks to The Bloom. However, when The Withering occured in 2015; America was devastated; tearing apart the infrastructure that made up each country and causing the death of millions; with many governments falling apart and others creating new governments to protect themselves.
The most heavily populated areas in the American Wasteland include NEO City, Ontario Forever, and Hydro-Tenochtitlan; protected by Phaselight Barriers and Hypersound Cannons from the dangers that inhabit the enviroment surrounding them. Thousands have opted to live in cities that have been protected by the Deepcore Foundation, independent city-states that would rather hold it out on their own rather than deal with Deepcore; or in small communities far from civilization-- some even on their own, being known as Outlanders or Isolationists.

Geography

Throughout all of the North American continent, there are various craters that have been caused by supernatural entities causing untold destruction throughout the land. Forests have grown immeasureably, taking over various urban centers that were once populated by Humans. Terrain has either rose up a lot higher or fallen below sea levels, creating mountains; cliffs; and lakes that had not previously existed. Alongside that, in heavily affected areas such as the midwest of the United States or the Gulf of Mexico, there are islands that are floating in the air.
There are thousands upon thousands of Edenite gems jutting up from the ground, creating several large spires of the material throughout the land. Because of the heavy amounts of magical energy that exists in the country, especially in regions such as the Bermuda Triangle; Tears have become a common occurance that one can fall into if they're not careful.

Ecosystem

Several creatures that have existed previously in the world have gone extinct or have been replaced by larger variations of the beings that have been transmutated through the overabundance of Mana into their systems, creating creatures such as the Harbinger Worm. Alongside that, entirely new beings unseen before on Earth had begun to sprout up. Unnatural weather phenomena such as Purple Haze, Inverse Rain and Warp Storms can occur; especially in costal regions along the shores of America.
