Zone

In-game map of game zones.

Rift: Planes of Telara features many exciting locations and dungeons for players to adventure through. Rich with history and lore, the world of Telara will reward those strong enough to survive. A player can walk across the face of Telara without encountering a load screen, since it is a seamless world with 'zone lines'.

Note: Trion Worlds uses the word Region, the meaning is identical.

Zones

A zone has usually one or two main settlements. Players can find here specific vendors that sell gear for Favor (PvP vendor) or planar currencies (Rare Planar Goods vendor), as well as quartermaster of the NPC faction of the zone. A porticulum for faster travelling between zones is also near the main settlement.

Zones and factions

Each faction starts in its own instanced zone. For Guardians it's Mathosia, Defiants have Terminus. Players advance through the zone up to level 6 and then upon entering the final rift, they are teleported out of the zone into their low-level zone and will never return back.

Some zones are ruled by Guardians or Defiants, in other zones both factions established their own camps, and there are also zones with neutral NPC factions providing quests for both Guardians and Defiants. Zones cannot be conquered by opposite faction, although enemy settlements can be temporarily occupied by destroying their wardstone.
