Welcome to RGB (Red, Green, Blue)
Greetings and Hai Hallah!
Welcome to the worlds of RGB, a Pathfinder campaign. RGB refers to the three worlds that the Engineers designed, namely, Agnion [AG-nee-on] (Red) a world of volcanic activity and lakes of lava, Thalassa (Thuh-LASS-uh] (Blue) a world comprising of barely ten percent landmass, the rest being shallow and deep ocean, and Hylas [HIGH-luss] (Green) a world of forests and verdant jungles.
All three worlds orbit a common barycenter while revolving about the sun, Heli (HEE-lie). All worlds are the same size and mass, being the size of Mars (4,220 miles diameter). The Engineers left behind a network of Worldgates which allow transport from world to world. Some are personal and some are quite large to allow trade traffic. Cities have grown around these larger Worldgates.
These worlds were created by The Engineers for some purpose known as The Plan. However, a hundred years ago a trio of extraplanar entities known as The Archons conquered the three worlds.
Your characters will begin their journey on the green world of Hylas. In the Kingdom of Valence in particular, in the capital city of Valence in specific.
The city map is somewhat lame, I know, but it serves its purpose. Also, the text is unreadable so I will translate from left to right, top to bottom:

Guilds District - The Sink - Memento Mori - The Forbidden Shore

Tourist Tour
Notable Places:
The Worldgate to Thalassa (A 20 foot by 15 foot wide archway of immutable white stone stands forlorn at the edge of the Government District and the Theatre District. It opens only during an eclipse of Thalassa which occurs every eight weeks and lasts for two hours).
The Valencia Arcanum - An intricate and impressive edifice of magically fabricated marble dedicated to the Archmage Caedmund Alberstaff who was the first wizard to evoke a fireball from the Flow nearly five centuries ago.
The Rotunda - This is the colosseum and arena where combats are waged for money and profit. It used to be illegal before the Archon came a hundred years ago. Now, it is a profitable and bloody business that bring with it corruption and crime. Chariot racing and horse racing is also popular here as well.
The Two Moons Theatre - This is where the latest and oldest plays in the Hylas repetoire are performed. The current hit this year is Unger Featherpen's comic romp, "Not Exactly What I Meant".
The Battleground - This is where the battle against the Archon was fought a century ago. It has been picked clean by the Archon's minions and various scavengers. It is said that on nights during the summer months, apparitions of the dead can be seen battling each other.
Memento Mori - Here the Archon has erected monuments to the heroes of the Archon War. Children are often taken here on fieldtrips to educate them about the war and its meaning for all Hylas, not just Valence.
The Forbidden Shore - Don't go here. Ever.
