Palette Plains

Palette Plains contains the first extreme open area region. Its magnificent fields will blow people away with their astonishingly vibrant colours, and life seems to be constantly thriving in the area. The area leads to Pastel Bay where, although a little bit more lighter in tones and hues than Brush Brush Fields, the colours are still vibrant and have become the perfect getaway for romantics and couples alike... until recently.

History
Compared to some other areas, Palette Plains doesn't have a very extensive area. However, that's not to say that it hasn't had its fair share of history!

Giant Lizard's Ground
Long after the Crystal Griffin's corruption and healing, dragons and dinosaurs slowly started to evolve and freely roam on the island. Palette Plains, being a relatively larger area, became an area where the dragons and dinosaurs would make their homes. Over time, the dinosaurs were driven away by the dragons and all of their territories became the dragons'. The area would've looked much more different than it does in the present day: the dragons' various breaths and the constant between dragon and dinosaur would've resulted in various different breath effects (such as fire, ice, water, grass) being scattered all across the landscape.

Over time, certain settlers on Crescent Island would grow close to the dragons and share a peace between mankind and dragons, and those citizens would be allowed to comfortably establish a home in the area until they felt like they, or their descendants, no longer had anymore interest in the area and left.

Driving away the Dragons
Eventually, as the dragons faced more hostile settlers that arrived from various lands, and settlers with the ability to fight and take on dragons no less, they and the inhabitants they had grown to trust fled to a land that was colder than no other (and where the dragon-killer hunters could not go to, no matter how hard they tried).

The Land Afterwards
After the dragons abandoned most of Crescent Island, the landscape slowly began to heal itself. The ever-warming temperatures eventually melted the ice structures. Many of them went on to fill the claw marks and dents, and even some of the caves, that the dragons and dinosaurs had left behind, creating large crystal-clear lakes. Eventually, the fire either teetered out due to a lack of things to burn or the occasional gusts of winds, and grass took over the landscape. Houses that were once built by settlers or inhabitants were eventually taken over by nature itself. The land turned into a mostly lush, green, plains area, its past almost undetectable unless you look and observe very closely. Some of the areas' dragon and dinosaur influence have been a little bit more noticeable, with their areas' grass being coloured like the breath that had been previously casted upon their lands (i.e. Areas that had ice breath applied to them will have light-blue-looking glass).

 * Paper Craves: A small cave and home of Lucy the Craftimal. The cave has loose stage inspirations in design and materials, with Lucy's house at the end.
 * Woodschip Cavern: A small cave and home to Ricky the Craftimal. The cabe has loose stage inspirations in design and materials, with Ricky's houses at the end.
 * Rose Village: A village built after the main game, it sets out to do what its former village once did and continues being an area perfect for romantic getaways. It has also, additionally, been recently seen as a place that sparks nostalgia and hence several shops centred around it have opened up in the area as well.

Trivia

 * Everything in Palette Plains aside from the two caves is based off of colours. Palette Plains itself is based off of a palette, which explains people's fixations on its colourful world.
