Meta
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 as a single string that connects, permeates, and holds together all known realms.[4]
Anything or anyone that threatens the stability of the Meta is cast into the Outer Nil Zone by Two X and the Rift Walker.[5] While the Meta is extremely important, it is also extremely fragile. Since the 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 Nil Zone to begin tearing into other realms.
As of the events of Voidcore mode, only few realms remain, as almost all of the countless worlds that existed in the Meta were consumed by the Void after Lord Exo's freedom.[6] It is implied by the Narrator that the only reason the Meta has not fully collapsed yet is because Two X is actively working to prevent that from happening.[7]
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 before they were afflicted by the Queen's curse. It is from this realm that all other realms branched off from.[8]
- The Voidlands is a realm that not much is known about other than it is a place the Fallen had resided prior to their invasion of the Overworld.[9]
- The Overworld is the realm where humans reside.
- The Hex Realm is a sanctuary realm for the hex enemies.[10]
- The Pls Donate Realm is a realm that is kept afloat by the Robux pile in its center.[11]
- 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 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.[12]
Notes
- ↑ "Got word that the previous realm has no information on any other records. It was disconnected from the entire Realm network." ― Dispatcher on Wave 7 (Containment)
- ↑ "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 on Wave 26 (The Narratorium)
- ↑ "The Rift Walker is an being who helped create the Meta with his master." ― Rift Walker's description in its Logbook

- ↑ "Calling it 'The Meta', he and the Rift Walker carefully protect it by dumping any waste into the 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 on Wave 26 (The Narratorium)
- ↑ "In this case, the Void consumed many realms before their battle with TDS. Where there were once countless realms, the Void devoured nearly all of them in a short span of time. Now, few remain unaccounted for." ― Soul's description in its Logbook
- ↑ "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 on Wave 28 (The Narratorium)
- ↑ "The chaotic energy in the 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 on Wave 21 (The Narratorium)

- ↑ "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 on Wave 1 (Molten)
