Alright, this concept can be traced directly to the Norse myth of Yggdrasil, or the World Tree. In fact, a few Worlds in the setting have names derived from the Nine Realms. However, what defines a separate World from simply another location within it is it's isolation from the other known ones. Currently, it is unknown if there are more than what are listed here.

Midgard: one name taken directly from Norse myth. Essentially, Earth. ... Just... Modern fantasy with hints of steampunk aesthetic. 8I Nothing really outstanding.
Aether: the kingdom in the sky from Jack and the Beanstalk, the realm of the Giants. Unique compared to other Worlds in that technically, many people still consider it a part of Midgard. However, it is classified as another World due to the fact that it is completely, totally and utterly sealed from the surface.
Alfheimr: another name taken from Norse mythology. The realm of the Fair Folk, with Fairies as the ruling class. Magic is so prevalent in this World that it doesn't need casters to affect people. Simply spending enough time in the realm is enough to enhance the lifespan of mortal creatures... And trap them. Because of that overwhelming source of magic, it is the only realm that can be relatively traveled to and from Midgard, though the Fae are territorial.
Wonderland: the realm of dreams. Inhabited by Incubi & Succubi, demons who seduce mortals in their dreams, and their only natural enemies, Sandmen, or apparently human magic users with strong ties to other peoples' minds. Currently the prison of an insanely powerful, though no longer corporeal, Witch known as Tabitha Cheshire. While lucid dreamers can come and go as they wish in their sleep, some mortals have been known to become trapped in the dream... Freeing said prisoners is one of the duties of a Sandman- or woman.
The Afterlife: ... Basically where ya go when ya die. Depending on your choices in life, it could be anything from Nirvana, Heaven, Valhalla, etc. to Hell/the Inferno, Tartarus, or even just mundane reincarnation. And keep in mind, places like the Inferno are punishments, not realms to be ruled. A character who wishes to go there isn't edgy or cool, dangit. Generally, since one has to die to arrive, it's pretty much a one-way trip. |3;
