Almost! We're still working out the storyline, but this is more specifically what we're building:

Not quite. Chaos isn't so much a "world" as it is a state of existence--like outer space is around earth.

Although monsters in the mirror plane, created during the cataclysm which twisted the world, are powerful beings of magical/chaotic origin, monsters on Geona derive from previous inhabitants of the world itself.
The Gendran/Dervali story is still in the works, but I can outline it briefly.
Before chaos broke into Geona, Gendra and Derval were two fairly advanced--and competitive--cities near Nexus. Their inhabitants were hit just as hard as those in Nexus; however, being further from the epicenter they were not absorbed into the chaos but were killed by the event nonetheless. Travelers, being so wary of the entire region, never even went back to either city to bury the dead; the majority of people who went there were scavengers or thieves looking to pick treasure from the charred remains of what were very wealthy cities. Many had always heard the regions were cursed, but for some it took an increasing number of travelers disappearing in the region to convince them that something was not right. The first man to return was so shaken by what he had seen that at first he wouldn't even speak of it. Gradually, however, he began to tell that the region was ravaged by a great war--a war of the dead. Skeletons clad in tattered banners gold and blue, the colors of Gendra, clashed with ones wrapped in red and white. The old rivalry between the Gendran and Dervali transcended the afterlife, and only the foolhardy would dare visit the battlegrounds of the undead.
