Hi everyone I wanted to hear about some ideas the community has for new worlds or worlds that already exist, just for fun :)
I think Yago could be based on Thailand, And Nodor could be based on the Ice Age around the dinosaurs time.
now about yago and nodor,
For Nodor i'm not sure cuz we already have grizzleheim/winterland that already give an explaination of why there is winter in the spiral and Azteca.but there is no world thats inspired from antartica thats true
but for Yago,good idea. there is no world actually existing that represent the south asia, hawaii, new zealand region
lot of isolated islands, an interesting mythology to explore. this world era should be 6th to 13th century
personally i have more hope on exploring the native coolrancher world (Jakki origin world), a darkmoor like skull island or valencia.

I noticed some things I think you may have missed, as I've been discussing themes and design choices in the game with family and friends for a few years now.
Dragonspyre takes influence from many places, but based on the accent of the people there, I'd argue its based on Romania and Rome simultaneously (I guess the names are similar enough)
Karamelle, while based on modern times has heavy Swiss and Austrian influences.
Celestia takes a lot of inspiration from the TV show "Stargate: Atlantis" while also being based on Atlantis itself.
Azteca is specifically based around Aztecan and Mayan cultures and mythos. Northern Precolumbian Societies are not represented here, and as such can be explored in future worlds.
Mooshu, including Shangri-Ba takes a lot of chineese and japaneese influence, but given the tibet referenced in Shangri-Ba, its safe to say that it is supposed to represent that entire region of Asia.
Filling in some gaps you left:
Khrysalis is based on the Prehistoric Carboniferous and Triassic periods. This was when bugs were HUGE and the Earth was pretty much 2 landmasses with an ocean in the middle and terrifying sea creatures littering the ocean.
Wizard City has a lot of architecture iconic to German areas, and if it is based on germany more generally, that would explain why the Grizzleheim(Norse) ship can sail there so easily.
Wysteria is the answer to "Ravenwood is just Hogwarts" and inspired by Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.

Empyrea is HEAVILY based on Star Trek and Batman
Just wanted to help with the recap!
