+# Regions
 A plugin to carve up your minecraft world into named regions.
+
+For most of minecraftian history, players, server owners, and content builders
+have sought to find a way around one of the least exciting problems in
+minecraft: How to travel long distances on a big world.
+
+In 2010, Mojang gave us minecarts. Using some clever physics glitches,
+minecrafters devised minecart boosters to send them through distant lands at a
+modest speed.
+
+Later that year, we all set sail for the infinite seas upon our new boats.
+Travel was swift, provided water.
+
+Soon after, we were blessed with the bright magicks of redstone and powered
+rails. No longer did minecrafters need to rely on janky collision physics to
+move ourselves through the non-aquatic world.
+
+With the Beta 1.9 release, Ender pearls and speed potions were introduced. We
+catapulted ourselves to terrifying new heights and found the world that much
+smaller.
+
+After the Beta era, Mojang bestowed upon us a terrifying and awesome power:
+Nether portals. Soon long distance travel was a reasonable idea, if you didn't
+mind losing your entire inventory to an errant ghast or lava pool.
+
+The 1.9 update allowed us to take to the sky with Elytra, and 1.11 sent us into
+the distant horizon with firework rockets. With enough determination, a compass,
+and some gunpowder, the world was all that much smaller to us.
+
+And yet, we remain unsatiated. Dissatisfied with the high cost of elytra and the
+regular need to move great distances quickly, a great number of server plugins
+that included teleportation proliferated the pages of spigotmc.org.
+
+And yet still, we remain dissatisfied. Typing out a /warp or /home command is
+trivial. Instantaneous teleportation at your fingertips might sound great, but
+there remains a distinct un-minecraftian feel about it.
+
+What if there was a more immersive way to add fast travel to your server?
+
+What if your players didn't need to do impossible feats like scrying some runes
+into a "chat box", something out of place from the minecraft world?
+
+For your consideration: **Regions**
+
+## Features

+  charges
