Deep beneath the cursed battlefield(transported by magic) lies the castle of King Halstan, taken over by the necromancer. Only rarely(once every 7-12 years, usually) has the necromancer left the castle by flight or teleportation to collect more corpses, sometimes abducting entire villages, usually from the Dominion of the Bog Witch or the Witchelven Empire. What unspeakable crimes occur in the many halls and towers shall likely never be known...


The necromancer is also constructing an immense monstrosity out of flesh and bone to use as giant sized living armor for their champion of choice. The armor cannot be removed, and the wearer is slowly absorbed...

Next to Mutaä's Realm lies the territory of Baba Lustra. She is the third daughter of the bog witch and is particularly talented in the making of poisons. She is well versed in the left hand path aswell and can cast extremely powerful black magic spells through occult and repulsive rituals. These ceremonies unsavoryly often involve the severed limbs of small children and infants. With the procurement of these, she is helped by the Lake Muckwater Grützlings, who fear her even more than the Schlickschluck.

The Kikimori tribe, who inhabit a small settlement of rotting swamp huts on the banks of Lamprey Loch, are also under her influence. They help her to keep intruders out of her domain by killing them and bringing the witch's daughter fetishes such as severed ears, eyeballs or scalps as proof, which she in turn uses for her potions. Corrupted long ago by Lustra's mother, the Kikimori have the appearance of horrifying humanoid bird creatures with razor-sharp claws and beaks. They feed mainly on the lampreys from the lake next to their small stilt village called Croaklingen. From time to time, however, meat is also on the menu, namely whenever an unfortunate traveler strays into their hunting grounds.

The island colony to the far south was the last established by the Drunigzar. For the first years, everything went smoothly. Trade posts were built, towns were established, and the Drunigzar even taught the native, charcoal skinned people their own language and used them as workers. Ships that left the Colony of Iudzia often travelled to other Drunigzar colonies, as well as other nations of the south, often carrying exotic fruits and botanical ingredients from the jungle there.

The Drunigzar, however, were not satisfied. Wanting to sail beyond the World's Steep Fall in order to discover a quick passage to Zapalovah, they sailed south. When they returned, they brought no loot and only disease with them, half of the crew already dead.

Most of the colonists died in a horrifying way. Even the locals dropped like flies, for not even them dared to venture deep in the eldritch jungle for fear of diseases and other unspeakable horrors. The Drunigzar converted this once prosperous colony into a quarantine location for the diseased and all who even land in the coasts surrounded by the Eldritch jungle, against all laws and logic.

Baba Lustra's home is a mobile log shack that moves through Lustra's portion of the swamps using enchanted slimy roots. You can tell if the witch is at home by the slightly greenish glow from the windows and the foul-smelling fumes that rise from the high chimney. No human has ever left Lustra's home alive, but were one able to slip in unnoticed he would see a great iron cauldron in the center of the hut and all manner of grotesque and rare reagents, as well as pickled body parts and dead animals on untidy shelves.

The medicine woman and tribal elder of the Kikimori calls herself Kikiraka and has always been treated less condescendingly by Baba Lustra. Perhaps this is because the witch recognized early on the black magic potential and usefulness of the birdwoman. One could almost speak of a kind of mutual respect between the two. Due to Kikiraka's exceptional loyalty to the witch, she even initiated her into the dark arts, and Kikiraka has proven to be surprisingly talented. Over the years her appearance has changed noticeably more than that of her fellow tribesmen due to the influence of the corrupting dark magic streams. The bird woman has a strange fondness for children's teeth and keeps sacks full of them in her rotten fish-stinking home. It is unclear why she does this or what she does with them, as no one has dared to ask her so far.

Adjacent to the territory of Baba Lustra is the domain of the seventh daughter of the ancient Bog witch. Her name is Mordrak and her specialty is to manifest in the dreams of unfortunate souls sleeping in the swamps, torment them with terrible nightmares and finally kill them in their dreams, causing heart failure in the afflicted. Away from the dreamlands, she is a feared black sorceress as well, floating unnoticed through the silt cypresses and over the swamp waters. A freezing chill signals she's close, but by the time you realize she's behind you, it's too late.

The "most peaceful" one of the witch sisters is called Baba Yuma who lives in the east of the witch swamps next to the chicken lake. Considering her siblings of course that doesn't mean much. She, too, will (on a bad day) kill or even worse separate a strangers' soul from his bodie, when he gets on her nerves. She does this with the help of her magical scythe, which according to legend was given to her by the reaper himself. The soulless then wander as spirits, which mostly end up, out of desperation, drowning themselves in one of the numerous swamp lakes. Unlike her sisters, though, there are also tales of her giving beauty water to little girls she liked, or inviting lost wanderers who'd shown her good manners to dinner in her chicken-legged walking hut (which, admittedly, isn't necessarily a pleasing scenario since her cooking skills are, shall we say, "idiosyncratic"). It is even said that she is able to bring a dead person back to life with the help of a special magical water, but these are probably just rumours. Her sphere of influence extends around Chicken Lake and is the smallest of all the witch sisters. Her specialty is finding, identifying, and combining rare herbs into bitter tinctures and potions.

Probably the most monstrous of the thirteen witch sisters is Urkdra. Born the ninth, she is said to be the result of mating with the former leader of the swamp ogres, who was a particularly large and ugly specimen and was never to be be seen again since then. If these rumors are true, then Urkdra takes after her father. Despite her warty hump, she's still as tall as two full-grown men, as strong as a dire ox, and her mere sight can put a squad of even the most fearless knights to flight. Her magical abilities are limited, just like her intellect, to a small extent, but she makes up for this with supreme physical superiority. However, a special black magic gift that she has is an extremely fast regeneration up to the regrowth of whole limbs. Her territory extends from the Molchloch to the Maggot Leech Lake. She has no fixed home, feeds exclusively on living food (she finds it particularly delicious when it is still screaming and wriggling) and sleeps in swamp holes. In her sleeping state she can hardly be distinguished from a mound of earth, but woe to anyone who accidentally steps on her.

>>84919488
The Urgur Plateau is supposed to be an equivalent of the southern side of the Atlas mountains. It's a high plateau with a very arid climate that then descends into a slightly less arid steppe towards the territory of the hordes. It's all in the original lore. Why did you make it forests exactly.

So, if there was an epic written in this world, where would it take place?

Norn is said to be the sister with the greatest black magical abilities of the bunch. She is the second born and lives on the border of the Marsh Kingdom of the Bayukmen. She can transform into giant toads, snakes and leeches. Shrink and enlarge her size. Walk on walls and ceilings, see trough the eyes of various animals or familiars, jump over great distances, suck the life force out of an opponent, astral project her soul to fly over vast distances, turn the earth below a foe into a crawling pit of worms, entangle people with roots that shoot out of the swampsoil, create a magical witch's knot that makes it impossible to cross or enter a certain area, speak in the voice of wild animals, turn into a beautiful young woman, make it rain dead frogs or rotting fish and these are just some of her tricks. She rides a giant black rooster with sharp teeth, which lays an egg every seven years, from which a cockatrice hatches when hatched by a toad, and a basilisk when hatched by a snake.

Muckra is the tenth of the thirteen sisters and a blind sea witch. She lives in the Toadpond, which she rules over. She is able to command aquatic creatures and her loyal pets are three giant black swamp morays. She compensates for her blindness with exceptionally good hearing. They say she can hear when a child sticks its big toe in the water at the other end of the vast lake. Her magical specialty is manipulating the muddy swamp water, which she can control at will. She is even able to create grotesque swamp elementals from the stinking broth, the horrible sight of which every decent human should be spared. She sleeps in a large bog-snail shell at the bottom of the lake and loves it to pull swimmers, fishermen or drinking animals underwater.

Pestara is the eighth sister and responsible for much of the corruption that has afflicted the witches' swamps until today. She is said to be responsible for whatever made the once moss-green swampogers look pale and sickly. Her domains are spreading pestilence and blight, aswell as breeding disease-carrying rats. The Rodents Of Unusual Size, which today populate the border areas to the cursed battlefield, are one of her proudest creations. Her smelly breath is said to be enough to infect a human with the black plague.

Urd, Verda and Suld are the fourth, fifth and sixth born daughters of the old Bog Witch. The triplets speak with one voice and are said to be responsible for weaving and cutting the threads of misfortune that decide over the lives of mortals. Their magical abilities are immense and despite their advanced age, they usually appear as three beautiful young women. Anyone who dares to interfere with their unholy work will be cursed with the most terrible curses and chased out of the swamp to seek a life worse than death. Their location is said to be somewhere between the Eelpond and the Toadpond in a massive dead tree called the Urdrag. The threads of misfortune are made from the hair of drowned maidens, and the magical scissors that Suld possesses were forged from demon ore by mad goblins a very long time ago.

Baba Vegna is the eleventh of the Thirteen Sisters and lives in a hut near Lake Lacrymosy. She is one of the most ugliest and dangerous sisters and it is better not to meet her in person. Although she has almost no magical powers, her gaze turns anyone who looks into her eyes into wood. Unfortunately, the witch also has a set of iron teeth and feeds on the wooden sculptures she creates with her ghastly visage. A long nose sticks out like a claw in the center of her face.

Baba Worna the eldest and firstborn daughter of the Bog Witch lives in a hut in the crown of the Dead Urdrag Tree. Her black magic specialty is necromancy, which she is exceptionally good at. Rather than waking up undead bog corpses, she flies around on her magic mortar to spread terror and possibly steal one or the other child though. Due to her position as the first-born, she is allowed to fly through every domain of her sisters without being asked and is the only one of the thirteen to even venture beyond the borders of the swamp at night. It gives her particular pleasure to smash the skulls of unsuspecting passers-by out of nowhere with her huge magic pestle, which she also uses to grind herbs. Although she is the oldest, she does not brag about her wisdom and has retained an almost childlike zest for life.

Once a year at the equinox, all witches, including the first mother, put aside their disputes and family differences to gather around on Purg Hill. This is a high hill in the middle of the Witches' Bogs where all the witches of the continent meet to dance and fly around a fire to pay homage to the Unholy Mother of the Night, the matron deity of all witches. Of course, these festivities also involve a lot of blasphemy and sins, and not infrequently one or the other horned demon turns up. Nine months after this event, it is not uncommon for a newborn witch to see the darkness of the world.

>>84921799
The goblins are of the Tribe of the Yellow Gang, under the leadership of chieftan Ivakhan, who has been granted the title of Yellow Fang, so called because of the dagger fashioned from a dragon's fang that the first tribe leader(Kezak) looted from the corpse of a merchant. They are struggling to feed the many goblins after stealing food from Felovik was no longer an effective food choice. Nothing is known of the bugbears, but they seem allied to the goblins, for now.

The number four must be quite significant in the northeast. Elanxa has four marquisates and the Ouroboria has four kingdoms.

Within the Ogabo desert live the Tolbari, nomads who travel across the vast dunes, surviving by hunting. A few of the Tolbari have settled in caves. They fear the Bog Witch, and her daughters, believing them to be divine punishment for lack of devotion to the desert spirits and the rock spirits. These spirits do exist(air and earth elementals, and other such creatures), but in far fewer numbers than the Tolbari believe. The Tolbari despise the Bhakkari, viewing them as impure due to lack of devotion to the spirits.

Also, how does religion work in this world? Do deities just exist as entities with immense power regardless of their following, or does their power come from devotion?

The Tolbar Consist of one thousand four hundred and nineteen spirits. The greatest of the Tolbar is Tol'ankor "the protector", known for having occasionally fought attacks from the Bhakkari, and for saving honorable warriors in times of need. Tol'ankor is believed to provide some amount of protection to all Tolbari, but it is not certain if this is true.
The Bari consist of two thousand one hundred and seventy five spirits, the greatest of which is Kebaril "the guide" known for leading clever Tolbari to what they desire, but in a manner that often confounds all but the wises of sages. Kebaril is also believed to allow the Tolbari to find their way when lost, all though if this belief is true is unknown.

If divine power comes from belief:

The Bari and Tolbar have been increasing in number, with the Tolbar growing faster than the Bari, due to the belief of many different Tolbari tribes.

Many of these spirits are malevolant to an extent, seeking to punish all who do not worship them with death.

The area between the Chill Steppe and the Ruins of the Merfolk Empire could be the Frostlands of Khelek, so named after the ancient kingdom there that died entirely once the climate became colder. Some of the souls of the dead(mostly priests or the particularly devout, whoever the spirit directly knew of) have been absorbed by the ice spirit Ulek-mol, so they may attempt to claim new followers by force and ascend to godhood by absorbing hundreds of thousands of souls.
TO CLARIFY: It WILL NOT be able to claim anywhere near that number of followers for centuries, if at all, as it only has four thousand souls currently. I suspect it will get killed by the residents of the chill steppe, or priests of the harmony godess.
Also, it can summon some of the souls to fight, but if they are reduced to 0 hp they are freed and lost to Ulek-Mol forever.

I can imagine they'd use special footwear. What I'd like to know about the Glass Mountains is how the weather does there. Is the glass reflective, or opaque glass? If it is reflective, I can imagine the place being horrible to traverse, since all the sunlight would be reflected everywhere, and you'd be blinded (and possibly scorched due to the heat). How you'd traverse that while blind is the big deal.

>Is the glass reflective, or opaque glass?
The anon that wrote them here. Depends on where you travel the mountains but both types exist
>all the sunlight would be reflected everywhere, and you'd be blinded (and possibly scorched due to the heat).
Yes it's pretty much like that but this is still better than rain or worse, thunderstorms which are actually pretty common in this area because of the hight of the moutains and their relatively close proximity to the coast. Ideal conditions for traversing the glass mountains are mild temperatures and a cloudy sky without rain clouds. Some advise climbing them at night, but this entails other dangers

Lubbermarsh is located in the Tarpit Morast, a plain full of bubbling black tar holes in the western witch's bogs where the taciturn but essentially peaceful pitchhaulers live. A rare weather phenomenon called tar rain is observed in this area of the swamps, during which a thick, greasy black drool pours from the heavens. The pitch mined in the pitch pits which surround the village is brought to the nearby settlements with the help of swamp shuffles, sold there and used primary for military purposes, such as digging flammable pitch ditches

Not far from Lubbermarsh is the village of Schmatzsicker, home to the equally quiet but less peaceful peat-cutterlings. Peat is an organic material that is formed from dead plants in bogs as coal begins to coalesce. It is used as a low-energy fuel, to improve soil aeration and to a lesser extent, for the production of textile fibers and medicinal purposes. If necessary, the one-eyed peat-cutterlings are hired by the Bog witch as her so-called bog soldiers, especially for carrying out military guerrilla actions.

The daughter of Baba Lustra and some unknown Spider demon is called Jarackna. The Spider-witch is used by hobbits in the west as a bogeyman to discourage small children from going outside alone at night and to remind them never to explore beyond the big hedge. She lives in a swamp cave surrounded by lullaby trees, where she brews potions and devises dark new spells.

South of Daligrad lies the Most Serene Republic of Kalydon.

Its citizens used to be friendly towards those of Daligrad, often visiting to gamble at their casinos or smuggle narcotics. However, that all changed when Lord Archarom - the Kingdom's court wizard - got in his hand an obsidian candle, an extremely rare artifact that allows one to read the minds and communicate with people from long distances.

Archarom deposed the Royal Family and brainwashed the peasants that they were secretly plotting with the Daligradians to annex their city. His propaganda campaign was successful, and Archarom grew mad with his newfound power.

He then started to weave his own web of lies, painting Daligrad as the ultimate demon of civilization and forbidding anyone from visiting there, under the penalty of death.

The city's society quickly became a mirror of Daligrad's. Absolute puritanism was enforced by Archarom and those devoted to him. Every marriage, from the council members to the lowest of peasants had to go through him first. Sex was forbidden outside of marriage, and then it was only done for breeding, and not for pleasure.

Gambling was punished with death. Any consumption or production of the "White Death" or any other narcotics was enough reason for a month's torture. Anyone who worshipped a god other than Archarom himself was locked into the terrible Maelgor's Keep dungeons, never to see the light of the earth again.

It wasn't long until Archarom built walls around the whole province, with posts every few hundred meters to prevent anyone from getting in - or out. Traders and merchants began to avoid Kalydon, preferring to even go through marshlands and witch elf territory than deal with Archarom's mad minions.

Archarom began dwelling more and more with his obsidian candle, to the point where every ounce of sanity that he had was gone. He'd spend almost every waking hour or his observing the residents of Kalydon with excruciating detail.

>>84925755
It was not until a few months past this day that Archarom unlocked the full potential of the obsidian candle by sacrificing everything he had left.

He was now able to read the mind of anyone in his realm. Thus, any person, no matter how insignificant, when caught by the lord himself thinking of dangerous thoughts, was immediately captured and interrogated. Simple things like a peasant having pleasant memories of his visit to Daligrad would be enough for the guards to come at his door at night.

Soon enough, Archarom became a total recluse, not bathing or grooming himself and barely eating. He'd only see his most trusted advisors, and that only to bark his orders for "spies from Daligrad with dangerous thoughts" to be imprisoned.

The citizens of Kalydon had forgotten how he sounded or looked, even his own name. They'd start calling him "our generous Father of Kalydon", forgetting that he was no god, but a mete human.

There have been rumours circulating around, however, that a pocket of resistance has popped up in Kalydon, possibly originating from the inner circle itself. If those rumours are true, and how they managed to avoid his mind reading spell are questions that still remain a mystery.

Many decades ago, an impoverished carpenter, in mouring due to the death of his child and his wife during birth, created a human replica out of wood, to try and replicate the son he never got to have. However, unbeknownst to him, he had crafted the figure out of a magical tree, blessed by the Goddess of Life, and it miraculously became alife. Thanking the heavens, the carpenter took the figure as his own son, taking care of it and making him have as normal of a life as possible, despite his obviously artificial appeareance. However, the wooden creature did not appreciate the humbleness of the life of his father. He quickly learned that his unnatural appeareance would make him the target of witchhunting in his small isolated town, and thus hid from everyone. But his lust for excitement mixed with his apathy towards the rigid morality of the fleshy beings, things like "good" and "evil" being to him as artificial as he himself would've been to any human. After years of ever more dangerous psstimes, and the ever increasing warnings of his caring father, he decided to abandon the town in search of adventure and excitement. Despite his father's pleas to not abandon the town and live a simple life of isolation and peace, the wooden man had become tired of this old man's ramblings, and beat him to near death. He stole what he could get and ran away. The last thing he saw of his town was the townspeople getting together to burn his father, accussing him of wizardry.

>>84925707
yep, I'd say adding rivers is needed, feel free to dd some just make sure it does not contradict the height map

>>84926139
The wooden man became a dark legend wherever he went, keeping himself shrouded in secrecy to protect his identity, becoming a famous pirate, thief, assassin and slaver.Every port had rumours of arsens, murders and thefts done by this wraith in the shadows, always chased but never found or caught.

His greatest heist was the robbery of the capital ship of the kingdom's navy, gathering a mass of mad and deranged pirates and turning them into an effective fighting force, skilled and ruthless enough to burn the entire port, steal the ship and gut all of the guards and sailors. Legends say he still roams the seas, pilfering every unsuspecting ships, in the hopes of finding enough shipments of the same magical wood that spawned him. His true purpose for this, are unknown...

Above the Corteau Canyon the Erlenwood is located. It's the Dominion of the ancient Erlkönig, a demigod with magical powers. He likes to take children away from their parents and replaces them with ugly changelings, can appear as an invisible forest spirit, transform into bears, wolves, deer and other various forest dwellers, can cast all kinds of druid spells, control plants, thorns and trees in a magical way. His forest people are made up of the Erlen, a species of elves who resemble the elves of fairy tales and folklore and can be roughly described as cunning forest spirits who ride deer and are supernaturally skilled with bows and arrows. If they don't want to be seen, they can move around the forest completely silently and invisibly. Also part of his forest state are fairies, sprites, talking intelligent animals, dryads, nymphs and not!ents. His forest kingdom can only be reached through three magical portals. A magical witch circle made of mushrooms, an ancient stone circle and an enchanted lake where unicorns live. At least one arrowhead is pointed at anyone entering his forest without permission at all times, and even a trampled seedling can result in it being fired.

It's the exact same shitty idea that was posted a few threads ago by fairytale faggot.
>>84926405
It's most definitely him. Specially considering how much samefagging he already did pretending there were several people trying to write lore for his shitty island when in fact it turned out that it was just him and nobody else cared.
The "kingdom of the crimson queen" in the north east is also just his red queen shit btw. Imo it should be deleted.

And even if this dude wasn't a huge faggot, the lore he writes sucks dick and is completely disjointed from the rest of the world.

Are you the OP?

>>84927030
i don't see the harm in adding that ex-fairytale shit as long as it doesn't break lore or include fetishes

the neegus shit is more "offensive" in that regard

>>84927054
Seconded. His goal is to troll and ruin other people's fun. That's why he's impersonating legitimate loreanons to get their shit removed.

>>84927004
>>84927054
>i don't see the harm in adding that ex-fairytale shit as long as it doesn't break lore or include fetishes
That was the original compromise proposed by reasonable anons. Instead of taking it and moving on, Fairytale faggot went on a massive spergout kicking and screaming because people told him that he couldn't add a new huge landmass. Check the threads, it was genuinely pathetic.
After all the effort to keep the thread alive after that shitshow giving any concession to that guy is off the table.
>>84927030
I have the suspicion the same faggot was behind the shilling for the urine forest and/or the shit wizards, which imho both of them contribute nothing of value to the map.

I swear every blue board should have tags.

>>84927139
But like I said, the shit he's suggested so far aren't lore-world breaking, atleast not to the point like the Neegus shit is. I say we let this shit slide since the map's like 99% filled by now.

>>84927139
Alright I did not intend to bring this back up again but since it‘s already a topic here we go. I‘m fairytale anon aka the guy that initially added Russia and the Fairytale Kingdom. I followed the drama but wasn‘t there to clear things up when a particular guy had his spergdown. I‘m completely fine with the island being removed and for adding it but I legitimately didn‘t read the part were it said that landmass adding was not allowed. I also apologize because it caused so much confusion but as you can see it wasn‘t me who did that. The guy that added manure isle (or at least I’m 99% that’s the guy) used my continent as a distraction see he could have his little fetish on the map. Something like that was never my intention but as I said I wasn‘t there to stop it and honestly reading this shit, even if I had it would have probably gone lost in the whole clusterfuck anyway. I‘m also the guy who wrote the witch elves btw that he apparently claimed to be his invention. I‘d say we should move on and just ignore that guy since he already caused way to much derailing. I honestly don‘t care what happens to the kingdom but since I didn‘t add any lore anyway that does not seem to be something for me to decide. tl;dr: I‘m sorry my identity got stolen on a mongolian basket weaving forum. Let‘s get back to worldbuilding!

agreed let's just fill the map and call it a day. we can't be sure who added what anyway so let's focus on weeding out the obvious fetish shit and otherwise just concentrate on what's acceptable lore and what isn't. that being said are we going to get to the underdark as soon as the overworld is finished?

Jesus some people really have way too much free time.
Anyway real proposals to fill Zemyland are open.

Literally the only person who has any problem with the furniture place is the fairytale faggot.
This shit was already debated in thread 3, check it for yourself. Here's an example >>>84878529 , I only wish he had kept up with his promise of fucking off.
The same retard also claimed to have made like half the map and then was called out for lying by the people who had actually made those places.

Can we just move on please?

the red queen shit is from a different anon, you can tell by the writing style. erlingwood and (most likely) the guy claiming to have come up with fairytaleland is probably the same dude

>>84923684
Can we please go back to this map and just add the bog witch shit and also Kadylon?

>>84927614
I'm cool with that

>>84927626
ok, so it's settled. No neegus or erlingshart

There's literall no way of telling who wrote what so the reasonable thing would be to judge only by the following two questions
1) Is it gamebreaking?
2) Is it a fetish?
Anything else will just lead to neverending and pointless discussion.

>>84927655
That's also true but I'm looking at the best way to not get this shit derailed for another 3 threads like before. compromises

>>84927655

Check threads 2, 3 and 3.5.
Fairytale faggot, red queen faggot, erling faggot and manpreg faggot are all the same person and that's beyond any reasonable doubt.

Between the Jeraxih and the Misty Shores is the Rosmarinus Estate. It started off as a mere castle, built by the a Ta'lunasir noble, Heccu Olgiers. He was aobsessed with the spiritual plane, moreso than the average Ta'lunasir even. He kept expanding the grounds of his castle, inviting individuals with a celestial interest to his estate.

As he was childless, the Estate fell to the hands of his students, who established the Lunarium Research Institute, who conduct experiments of magical nature in order to unveil the truth behind the cosmos and what lies beyond the stars.

Volcanoes and breaches should extend underground

Drow city-states should extend underground, it is also mentioned they have underground territories elsewhere if anyone wants them in other locations

Former dwarf holdings should be shown, there are some under the drow territories, kinnog, the witch-elf lands, and probably the baalps, evergreen pastures, azan, and oront as well (the last two based on some future plans I have for the area). It has been suggested they have activate underground holdings somewhere

Cave goblins are another good one, probably could have small pockets scattered everywhere, but under witch-elves, drow, kinnog, felovik, furlaniya, bog witch lands, and Changrila at minimum

Furlaniya, culinary mushroom forest, mossovy, handprint desert, faarowt, seguerials, black stone islands, and red horde have some underground stuff

Maybe do something like pic related. It is not to scale, it just reminds people most of the underground is rock with tunnels

I'd really like to add an isthmus populated by warrior tribes. Strong martial culture, a nation that purposefully keeps itself in tribal groups. Theres hints of a now defunct unified culture. They'd be somewhat technologically ahead but intentionally maintain primitivism to keep themselves strong. Each would be centered around an airship they use to raid and explore. Think tiny village with an airship tethered as a great hall. Their god is actually terrified of them, they were a nation that practiced carnomancy before being beaten by an alliance of their neighbors. The god was brought into the world by flesh rituals and ended up losing much of its power. So the god commands they keep to tribes so they dont apply the might makes right mentality to their now vulnerable deity.

The women are seen as sedentary but willing to defend while the men are away. The warrior men are strong and tend to shun the trappings of civilization and can also get pregnant.

Alright let's sort this
>It all began with a little hobbit and his faithful hare called jugger.
>He grew up in an idyllic farming village called Weidenwohl, or Battsmill as the locals called it since names were not important to them and there was a large mill in the village center that belonged to the farmer Batt.
>The battsmill resident spent his free time on hareback in the foothills in the south of hereby, north of battsmill
>battsmill's small fishing port was dwarfed by the larger coastal settlement of boundby,
>bobbit the hobbit always had enough food and comically large carrots on the table for himself and jugger, but recently his business had dried up
>The Little Hobbit was tired of his home in Weidenwohl.
>He'd cherish the old tales his grandamum used to tell him, of lands with canals instead of streets and giant windmills the size of a hundred rabbits
>Nonetheless the hobbit and Jugger wanted to stay home, but they were visited by a human who seemed just a bit off
>t̶h̶e̶ ̶m̶a̶n̶ ̶s̶a̶i̶d̶:̶ ̶"̶y̶o̶u̶ ̶a̶r̶e̶ ̶a̶ ̶w̶i̶z̶a̶r̶d̶,̶ ̶J̶u̶g̶g̶e̶r̶"̶
>That human was tall, but not as tall as the other humans that had visited his small village of Arlington
>"A halfling? In our lands? It can't be!" the little hobbit thought
[...]

>thus the magic man turned into a cloud of smoke and fire, and burned Bobbit's and Jugger's homely house
>and thus they knew that they had been visited by an Arangean pyromancer

>And thus the vicious halfling cast a spell on Jugger, the hare following in his stead in the south, with the little hobbit in tow, screaming and wailing for his hare to return

>>84928915
>>84928917
>The little hobbit heard a crackling noise behind him
>"Oh no! My family's home is blazing hot! Could it be the halfling's deed?" he thought
>But as he turned around, the halfling was no more, instead there being a man twice as tall as him, with his scorching hands reading to scorch little jugger

>and Bobbit the hobbit, greatly shooked his noggin', and saw in the distance his hare already hoppin'

>>84928946
>the little hobbit jumped on Jugger, and began to ride away
>"oh me oh my, where will we go," the little hobbit began to say
>"The South! to the South we must go!"
>"We can remove Jugger's magic, there and there alone!"

Hereby sounds actually pretty good for a hobbit land

>The little hobbit just then realised he had left all his belongings back in the shack

>>84929037
Maybe Arangean Pyromancers are well known for hatting magical rabbits, which is part of why Bobbit the Hobbit and Jugger are having to run

>"i am a brownie, bigger than you,
>now give me those berries and fruits for my stew"
>the brownie hopped off his large beetle mount
>bobbit had frozen, could not make a sound

I'd prefer it if they didn't knew what struck them but hey you're the author here

>>84929069
I was just thinking of an explanation, we don't have to do that

Alright no worries pal! Maybe we can put exposition like that in a spoiler

>>84929124
Mutaä does not leave the bog. No plotholes allowed

>the Gvilder was an arrogant halfling all might and no fight
>"I've seen you before!" shouted Bobbit Fiku at the halfling. "You burned my grandmum's shack!"
>"Nah nay, it weren't me young master. A human shackled me and took my identity! But with this brave guard's help I am at liberty!

>>84929105
It probably shouldn't be in the story, but it's just good exposition and lore that can be added

Alright, so, to collate where we are in the story, we've got the little hobbit and Jugger having ridden south to the border with the brownies. The little hobbit and Jugger have no food, and a brownie just stole what they'd foraged, and now another guard is coming up to them. The Gvilder scene works, but it would probably come later on

>scared to death, Jugger thought about home
>then he thought about how his home had just been burned
>and out of nowhere, Bobbit's hair catched fire, surely an act of Jugger's immature magic
>thankfully Bobbit could put the fire down with no injuries, but now he was bald
>he didn't knew it at the time, but his hair would never come back

>>84929161
Indeed. We'll need to edit it a little bit anyway. We can put it in the footnotes

>The Gvilder Halfling offered to sell Bobbit Fiku some remedies for baldness
>But the hobbit refused, as he was now penniless

>>84929197
I don't know about the magic rabbit thing desu. Why not make the hobbit a wizard himself? A seventh son of a seventh son kinda deal. Not a /lit/ critic though so I might be wrong

>and the guard looked at Bobbit's baldness and shouted
>"hohohohohohhoho your head shines brighter than the glass mountains funniest shit I've ever seen"
>Bobbit started crying, which made Jugger feel sad

>>84929222
perhaps this ridiculness can be explained because the story actually is a folk legend of a young hobbit who travelled far away beyond Hereby, inspiring many generations of hobbits to come

>"My name is Jugger the wizard, son of Jugger the virgin, you mocked my master bald head, prepare to die"

>>84929248
alright that works I guess

>>84929197
>after laughing, the guard jumped, and got into a panic
>"Bobbit, get away, Jugger is satanic!"
>"No no, please listen, Jugger wishes to cause no one pain"
>but it was too late, Jugger went to defend his master's injured pride
>and used his magic to remove the guard's hide

>But the guard was prepared, for he knew magically enhanced rabbits were dangerous. he took his spear and stabbed little jugger on his innards, the poor hare falling dead before Bobbit's eyes

>using his sword in but a single slash

>"Well, now what the fuck do I do, I'm homeless and friendless and directionless in life"
>said Bobbit, who forgot to add the word "hairless" to his description of the current predicament

>>84929348
BBEG backstory right there

>"Come with me, little dwarfie", said the Knight and placed Bobbit on his shoulders. "We're going back to Laurentia, we have to get rid of some nasty necromancers"
>Before he could object, the knight carried him away to lands unknown for any hobbit

>But then master Fiku realized, that if he were not to help the knight, then those necromancers would surely his the body of his friend jugger the hare
>not wanting to see little jugger as a mindless zombie, he kept his mouth shut

>"wow, that was a crazy turn of events" uttered Bobbit, who by now could accept anything this day had in store for him

So we've killed Jugger? Just making sure we're running with the loss of the greatest character ever created

>>84929398
jugger's corpse is being feasted on by maggots and earthworms somewhere around the border of the hobbitland and the brownieland.

a monolith was erected in jugger's memory, while the damned guard's name has been cursed for eternity

>>84929398
don't worry I have plans for Jugger, but Bobbit must complete his journey to the East first

>>84929398
Seems like it. Reminds me of Pig with Nicolas CageI. I sure hope this does not turn into a kill rabbit and revenge story now.

>>84929222
>make the hobbit a wizard himself?
thats the twist ending, he was a wizard the whole time

>>84929390
>And so Bobbit sat on the knight's horse, hungry and tired
>exhausted by all that, in the past hours, had transpired
>the bounding of the horse across plains soon put Bobbit the Hobbit to sleep
>knowing that when he awoke, surely new people and creatures he would meet

>in his travels north they met a female goblin bard
>Bobbit soon dreamed about the goblin gobblin' his nard
>and in dreaming such fantasy he soon had wet his pants
>the Laurentian knight looked at the hobbit and laughed

>>84922360
>In the sands of the lands of the Rakel tribe, Within the heart of the Ogabo Desert, Dabar continues to search for his prey.
>But it is no rabbit he hunts, but the thief Beziel.
>He sees a glint of metal far off in the distance, and knows he must be close, for the Bari have shown him a sign.
>As he approaches, he finds there is no thief, but a knife, reflecting the sunlight into his eyes.
>He hears footsteps behind him, and is hit from behind, as everything fades away...

>Beziel flees from the lands of the Rakel, carrying with him the Topaz of Unlarm.
>He travels through the sands of the deserts for two days, occasionally finding refuge in the tunnels and caverns that can be found beneath the more solid ground.
What shall happen next in this story?

>>84929431
>I have plans for Jugger
>Necromancers
I know where this is going

>>84929482
Jugger had better not come back as an enemy. Jugger is for pets and friendship, not sword

>>84929494
Jugger becoming a necromancer... Oh no.

>awaking from his slumber at a makeshift camp
>the little hobbit stretched his back
>but the mountains to his right were so bright
>young master bobbit thought he was blind

>>84929509
>those are the mountains of glass, little man
>here, you can take the glasses of my son
>they will protect you from all reflected lights

This is the website that I generally use for rhymes. Also try synonyms if you can't find a good rhyme for a particular word
https://www.rhymezone.com/r/rhyme.cgi?Word=clarity&typeofrhyme=adv&org1=syl&org2=l&org3=y

How does the magic system work? Does anyone have the potential to become a wizard, or only gifted people can? Do they need special relation to gods and spirits, or their powers come from within? Are different kinds of magic, or it's just how you use it?

>>84929523
first line ends in >little one
>they protect you from light, mainly its reflection

Just keeping track. Correct me if I'm wrong. Are you telling me bobbit slept through all of this though? Seems like a journey worth of several days desu

>>84929581
I'd say only gifted people. You have to have the magical ability, like Jugger did

>>84929603
poor jugger :'(

>>84929594
True, maybe we should go back and add some extra adventures to fill in until we got to the mountains. I was thinking maybe something where Bobbit has to overcome a Giberling

>"it's of no use mister knight
>these mountains I cannot climb"
>"how can you know 'fore you even try?
>little hobbit, you aren't small fry,
>don't fret, and heed my advice:

>>84929611

Sound great! Also the crossing of the great hedge seems like a missed opportunity. I feel like waypoints like that shouldn't be skipped. I'd say slow down the narration speed a little and focus on what the Brownyland looks like compared to Whereby and so on. Then again I'm the kind of guy that lowkey wanted the hobbit to stay in his hometown for some pipeweed exposition for at least 50 pages so maybe don't listen to me

>>84929665
Sorry I meant Hereby

>>84929626
>chin up, and look straight, don't get dazed
>pay attention to the glass, and to ledges dig in your toes
>but perches can shatter, and to say the least, that would cause woes
>so step and tried lightly, and you might be amazed

>>84929665
Alright, so everyone take a break from the glass mountains, let's have Bobbit wake up maybe as they're riding up to the hedge

>>84929641
Jugger was the greatest, that guard was a nigger for disliking him

>>84929709
Nice the glass mountain stuff is great but let's safe it for later

This story needs a MacGuffin

>>84929603
either only gifted people (one of the northwestern people's lore claim they use eugenics in order to isolate that gene) or through years and years of magic training in arangea or wherever

>having been rocked to sleep by the sway of the horse
>Bobbit awoke on it back, looking up to their course
>all around were forests, except looking ahead
>where towering above, could be seen the Great Hedge

>>84929750
kino af keep it up brother

Also, to that one anon who was struggling with rhymes, I'd also advise to make use of slant rhymes, where the words sound similar even if they don't rhyme exactly. It's a good tool to keep the lines flowing without getting too bogged down in exact rhymes

>The hedge was tall as two or more hobbits, no chance for little bobbit to climb
>But for the knight it was but a simple fence, where he threw the hobbit overhead

>as you may recall, earlier in his travel Bobbit and Jugger had met a Gvilder man
>the Gvilder insulted them in many different ways, which I won't repeat for the sake of the decent reader
>but Jugger and Bobbit kicked him in his shins
>they kicked him in his shins
>they kicked him in his shins
>and the Gvilder ran away
>"wow Jugger, you are my very best friend, I know I can always count on you when things get rought"
>"I know master Bobbit, I'll always stand by your side, nobody will defeat us when we are together"
>"now let's go south, deal with your magic, and we'll be back home in time for dinner!"

tl;dr really great image making AI which is still in development. The actual AI is supposedly much better but it's still in closed alpha or something. What we have here is a much weaker test version.
Still pretty cool. Works best if you give it what you want and in what style you want it. It can't make faces though.
