The World of Ruin (or WoR for short) is the second of two worlds in Final Fantasy VI.

The World of Ruin was created when Kefka Palazzo moved the Warring Triad out of alignment on the Floating Continent. This delicate balance was the key to sealing the World of Balance in place. When Kefka moved them out of this balance, they went haywire and began destroying the world. The result was the World of Ruin. At the center of the world, a monument to destruction was formed with all of the debris, and it was atop this monument that Kefka used his Light of Judgment to exert his will on the world and destroy those who disobeyed him. Many monsters of legend were also released at this time, including Humbaba, Deathgaze, and the Eight Dragons, and they were invited to wreak havoc on the world at will.
The World of Ruin is characterized by barren wastelands and deserts, burnt forests, and polluted water. It consists of a series of small islands that dot the world, and those islands are where most people live.
