Continent

A Continent is a very large land-mass. There are three major continents known on Nexus right now: Alizar, Olyssia, Isigrol. Off-world destinations are also counted as a continent.

Gameplay-wise, a continent is the limit of the seamless world of WildStar. It is impossible to walk from one continent to another, requiring a ship and a loading screen to get you there. Taxis also operate within their continent alone; it is impossible to get a cab from your faction's capital to a location located in, say, Malgrave.

=Alizar=

The eastern continent of Nexus, this was where Dorian Walker first made planetfall. It is named after his family's partiarch, certified Nexus Lore Hound, Alizar Walker. It is controlled by the Exiles, and contains their capital city, Thayd. Its zones include:
 * Everstar Grove
 * The Northern Wilds
 * Celestion
 * Algoroc
 * Galeras
 * Whitevale

=Olyssia=

The western continent of Nexus, this where the Dominion first made planetfall. It is named after the wife of Dominus the Half-Blood, Empress Olyssia Zin. It is controlled mostly by the Dominion, and contains their capital city, Illium. Its zones include:
 * Crimson Isle
 * Levian Bay
 * Deradune
 * Ellevar
 * Auroria
 * Wilderrun

=Isigrol=

Somewhere in the center of Nexus, Isigrol is named after the Ancient Cassian word for "Hell" with very good reason. Though it is inhospitable, with extreme weather that tests both the fortitude of men and their equipment, and has numerous dangers abound, both factions still vie for control over this landmass. Its zones include:
 * Malgrave
 * Grimvault

=Off-World=

Though technically off the planet's surface, the game considers destinations orbiting Nexus as a continent. Its zones include:
 * The Halon Ring
 * The Farside of Pyra, one of Nexus' moons
