We were asked to create a world, which is called, Xenography or World Building for games. This was the world I built:

Welcome to the World of Navia. The inhabitants of Navia are Navies. The world of Navia has four hemispheres. North, South, East, and West. The planet’s outer world is dark blue in color, but once inside the actual world, its sun is bright orange. Each section of Navia represents a hemisphere. The outer rings of the planet are orange with round balls that circle their world and act as a force field. The shield only comes down when Navies travel outside of Navia and upon reentry. The entire planet languages consist of signing, grunts and moans; however, they can adjust their vocal patterns to communicate with outsiders.
North Navia, has slot canyons which are incredibly narrow and have very smooth walls, due to erosion from the river and various other weather conditions. These canyons, located between cliffs, have become home to the Northern Navies. Over time the canyons have become homes of layers and levels of bridges that connect one side of the canyons to the other side. The Northern Navies are deaf but extremely sure-footed and flexible.
South Navia is mostly desert. Although most deserts are scorching, South Navia is not. Their deserts stay rather chilly or in moderate temperatures all year long. They also get some rainfall now and then, and they are not always sandy. Most of the land contains miles and miles of hard- baked earth and even bare rocks. This land is inhabited by a nomadic race of people who live below the dunes, underground. Southern Navies provide oil springs which fuel the planet. The Southern Navies have no words, they are mutes from birth. Their skin color is burnt orange, or light or dark browns. There are others who are as bright orange as their sun. Not only are they nomadic, but they are also shapeshifters. Only when they shapeshift can they share words or speak. Those born underground can shift their shapes without worries, however those born above ground cannot hold their shape below ground for long without causing themselves pain.
East Navia is a land of forests. Navia has tons of trees that cover the area, and its terrain tends to be colder or has a more temperate climate. Their forests are sparsely inhabited; however, that doesn’t mean there are no villages or towns. East Navia has tons of Jungles in its low lands. It is virtually impossible to get through without a guide. The Eastern Navies are mostly women who can change their gender to produce children when needed. If the babies are born males, they are 99% blind; if these male babies survive into manhood, they are given a barren female as a mate.
West Navia is a land made up of two types of valleys. These valleys located between mountains and or hills are beautiful. The orange-blue river that runs through it houses the river people. The land dwellers are called Hollows. Most Western Navies are tiny creatures and live in water. They become blind when they touch feet to land. Unless they are land born Navies, then it becomes the opposite. Land born Navies become blind if they travel in water. The box valleys included, on the west side of Navia, are valleys with steep sides, relatively level floors, and very wide.
The Hollows are where the Elders live, these are the oldest inhabitants on the planet. They live inside beautiful hollowed-out caves, which are elaborate designed homes.
