there had always been another world, filled with rich and poor delights of every sort, and chaos and order of every extrapolation, and life of all kinds in unparallelled extravagance

and from that other world, a piece was cast off, tossed aside, abandoned to the elements and left to rot

and the creator found the abandoned piece and refashioned it into something new

scrubbed it clean and sanded it smooth

and caused a wide expanse of red desert to form upon it from a red mist

and thereby saved the new place from destruction and then hid it in the other world, waiting to be discovered and explored

and this became the hidden lands
