==Description==
The '''Meta''' is the metaphorical world tree that contains all the realms that exist within the story of Tower Defense Simulator. It is described by the [[Narrator (Story)|Narrator]] as a single string that connects, permeates, and holds together all known realms.<ref>{{InlineQuote|Now that you SHATTERED my heart to pieces just like THEY DID, I can tell you how [[Two X]] began creating a branching web of realms. This and many others are all connected and held together by a single string. Including yours.|[[Narrator (Narrator)|Narrator]] on Wave 26 ([[The Narratorium]])}}</ref>

Anything or anyone that threatens the stability of the '''Meta''' is cast into the [[Banlands|Outer Nil Zone]] by [[Two X]] and the [[Rift Walker (Story)|Rift Walker]].<ref>{{InlineQuote|Calling it 'The '''Meta'''<nowiki>'</nowiki>, he and the [[Rift Walker (Story)|Rift Walker]] carefully protect it by dumping any waste into the [[Old World|Nil Zone]]. What used to be our home is now a dumping ground for trash and tetanus. But hey, at least it doesn't have a zombie problem THAT YOU KEEP FORGETTING TO FIX.|[[Narrator (Narrator)|Narrator]] on Wave 26 ([[The Narratorium]])}}</ref> While the '''Meta''' is extremely important, it is also extremely fragile. Since the [[Rift Walker (Story)|Rift Walker]] was one of two beings that kept the '''Meta''' afloat, his death at the hands of [[Lord Exo]] caused its delicate balance to shatter, making way for the [[Old World|Nil Zone]] to begin tearing into other realms.

It is implied by the [[Narrator (Story)|Narrator]] that the only reason the '''Meta''' has not fully collapsed yet is because [[Two X]] is actively working to prevent that from happening.<ref>{{InlineQuote|Now after a certain amount of time that the writer doesn't want to explain, Paradise became a distant memory, and that's probably where [[Two X]] is trying to stop all realms from collapsing. Though, it's only a matter of time at this rate.|[[Narrator (Narrator)|Narrator]] on Wave 28 ([[The Narratorium]])}}</ref>

==Known Realms==
The true number of realms that exist within the '''Meta''' is unknown. Though, 8 realms are known to us, 7 of which are known by name.
*Paradise is the first realm created by [[Two X]], and is the ancestral home realm of the [[Fallen (Story)|Fallen]] before they were afflicted by the Queen's curse. It is from this realm that all other realms branched off from.<ref>{{InlineQuote|The chaotic energy in the [[Old World|Nil Zone]] was beginning to corrupt the few that remained, including myself, so that was when [[Two X]] used the rest of his power to create Paradise, the seed of a growing tree that all realms are created from.|[[Narrator (Narrator)|Narrator]] on Wave 21 ([[The Narratorium]])}}</ref>
*The [[Voidlands]] is a realm that not much is known about other than it is a place the [[Fallen (Story)|Fallen]] had resided prior to their invasion of the [[Overworld]].<ref>[[File:Fallenvoidlandssource.PNG|thumb|326x326px]]</ref>
*The [[Overworld]] is the realm where humans reside.
*The [[Hex Realm]] is a sanctuary realm for the hex enemies.<ref>{{InlineQuote|This place is a sancutary for its people.|[[Conserver (Narrator)|Conserver]] on Wave 17 ([[The Nightmare Realm]])}}</ref>
*The [[Pls Donate]] Realm is a realm that is kept afloat by the Robux pile in its center.<ref>{{InlineQuote|Some more information about this Realm, it's{{sic}} stability relies on that Robux in the center circulating between its players|[[Dispatcher]] on Wave 13 ([[Pls Donate]])}}</ref>
*The [[Frost Realm]] is the realm home to the [[Frost Spirit]] and the frost army.
*The [[Duck Realm]] was formerly home to the [[Nerd Duck (Story)|Nerd Duck]] and the ducks.
*The [[Molten Warlord]] and the molten are implied to have originated from another realm, as they traveled to the [[Overworld]] using rifts.<ref>{{InlineQuote|The Molten are highly aggressive, so we need to be careful. The last rift they came from ended with an entire outpost being burned down. No one survived.|[[Commander (Narrator)|Commander]] on Wave 1 ([[Molten Mode|Molten]])}}</ref>
