Every world(at least up through celestia) has some quest normally from the librarian in the world where they ask you to find these books and they're in like towers or dungeons all over the world but they're really boring so it's not really that fun doing those quests. I was thinking maybe there could be concept art or some cool visual thing of whatever place you're in! I think this would be cool and this way everyone would want to do the quests so they can see the cool concept art of whatever area it is!
This was sort of the case in Avalon and Azteca, where you go find tapestries (AV) or tzolk'in stones (AZ). When you have picked up all the widgets, you are sent to [place] to paste them up in some sort of story board order.
In ZF, the librarian sends you across the world to see and reflect on pictographs hidden here and there, showing the events and conditions in ZF preceding your arrival, so you learn why you're there, but through the artistic style "lens" of the pictographs. They are bold, simple, and primitive and tell the story as from the view point of a member of a tribal society; peace, autonomy and justice give way to feuds, tyranny, and lawlessness.
AV's tapestries come to life, showing scenes from Avalon up through the fall of King Artorius and the loss of the Sword of Kings. It is drawn in the style of a medieval embroidery or tapestry and shows scenes relating to the Avalonian, chivalric values you "learn" as you are taken on as squire, armiger, and finally Knight of the Silver Rose. The evil that has disrupted Avalon is also depicted in terms of those same virtues: envy, disloyalty, cruelty, arrogance, and greed.
The tzolk'in stones datestamps tell the story of the origin of the spiral up through the impending cataclysm and your appearance on the scene, from the perspectives of the Lords of Night and in their particular Aztecan style.
While it's not concept art per se, because it's not meant to be a wizard's eye view of the current terrain and textures, it does give conceptual pictures of how the inhabitants of the various worlds see that terrain and themselves; and how they see you, Malistaire, Morganthe, and Bartleby.
I believe we DO get to see some concept art from time to time in places like BOXES, wall hangings, pictures and other "pickup" housing items.
