>>84943507
And here's the updated physical map. Anything else needed to add on either of them?

>>84943450
This map doesn't have the Strange Meadows.

>>84943479
His rabbit, Jugger, was magical, and a pyromancer attacked them, forcing the pair to flee in an attempt to find someone who could remove Jugger’s magic. After they ran, however, a guard killed Jugger, and Bobbit was taken in by a Laurentian knight, and they’re now adventuring to go kill necromancers

Oh, Bobbit also learned that you can’t just be a violent asshole and murder things, even if they’re mean, such as gibberlings. And he was almost raped by a horde of sheepgirls, before finally him and the knight have made their way to the Evergreen pastures and are going to experience some visions

>Beyond the eastern edge of the Kingdom of Copper lies the Forest of Webs. It's a forest that's infested with nasty, wooly spiders that cover a large part of the woods in their silky web, engulfing large prey like moose, reindeers and other mammals.

In the time where Hyperborea and the Aine Saevherne co-existed in Zemyland, the Hyperboreans mantained a steady patrol in the woods, preventing the spiders from spreading out from their nest and confining them to a small part of the forest. That way, their northern and southern holdings were connected through land.
When their Kingdom fell with the invasion of the southrons, the Hyperboreans fled to the western tundra, and the spiders were left unchecked.

Over the years their nest has grown more than it can sustain itself, so it's not uncommon to see wooly spiders roam into the tundra or even into copper lands. The new Zemylanders henceforth aandoned the western roads that lead through the forest, instead preferring to trade with eachother by the sea.

The few people who dare go through the forest don't do it without a mercenary guard. The Nerim, in particular, are preferred by the other humans, as their tough nature and expertise in battle has earned them fame throughout the Eastern world.

>>84943835
Now that I've posted it, I realise that the "Silky Woods" is a better name. Anyone got any ideas?

>>84943540
If you go this entire thread without samefagging, trying to sneak your ideas in and posting your own edits of the map I can promise you the strange meadows will have been added by the next thread. If not, they'll stay in the archives forever.

>>84943854
I'm not who you think I am, anon. I just said it because I was checking up the maps and saw that one was missing.

>>84943903
Regardless, the deal still stands for the one who shall not be named

>>84943931
Fear of a name only breeds more fear of the thing itself.

>>84943524
Please check the political map for the names of river ok?

>>84944006
Any river in particular? There are so many things in the map, I might have missed some.

Chakobsa is between Badgassi and Jeraxih, south of the hordes (big pink blotch)

>>84944117
Nice job, anon.

>>84944117
Ok, Chakobsa jungle added.

To the north of the Bayukmen lies the island of Zorya. It's shrouded by a mysterious fog and can't be spotted from land. The island is surrounded by shipwrecks and infested by monsters like drowned hags and foglets, but otherwise devoid of life.

As many stories of this legendary isle have been spread throughout the West, particularly those speaking that whoever managed to reach the lone Djinn in the island would gain a wish of his to spend, many fools have undertaken this doomed voyage.

The only surviving tale of someone that stepped his foot on Zorya comes from the journal of a dwarf, encased in a glass bottle and thrown to the sea. A group of seven dwarven highwaymen from Gautlan, known as the Rowdy Seven, fought over to gain the hand of Hithlone's most beautiful courtesan in marriage.They decided that they'd sail to Zorya together, and whoever found the Djinn first would gain a wish to spend for himself.

However, their ship crashed in the stormy rocks of Zorya, and the dwarves were now stranded. They managed to fend off the monsters for a while, building a wooden shack out of the shipwrecks and even constructing a large lighthouse for someone to come to their rescue. The time passed and no one did, and every dwarf started getting sleepier and sleepier, as if they were under a hypnotic spell.

Then, the journal ended abruptly, where it's still kept in the citadel of Hithlone.

>Dabar wakes, breathing in the damp air of a cave...
>That can't be right.
>He was just in the westmost lands of the Rakel, without a cave in sight.
>And yet here he is, and he is not alone.
>He sees that there are twelve blue lizard-things in the cave.
>Invaders from the witch-swamps!
>What terrible dream must this be?
>He sees a mound of... are those uncut sapphires?
>As he watches in horror, the stones begin to move around him.
>An immense creature, with scales of sapphires and claws fashioned from the hardest of metals, and he was in it's lair!
>These are no servants of the witches, for this must surely be a god!
>These messengers, surely they must be messengers, are frail and dimwitted, and do not notice that he is awake.
>But that god-thing knows.

>>84944443
>Beziel sees a black speck in the distance, moving past him.
>Taking his spyglass, he looks and sees that as he suspected, it is a hunter.
>Perhaps he has something, anything, that might hasten his flight to the Changrila Empire.
>He walks from the cave entrance towards this hunter.
> He takes one of his knives, and places it upon the ground far ahead of his prey.
>Then he buries himself a short distance away.
>This would not be efficient, but it would be FUN!

Poor bobbit

>>84948028
He's having a rough time now, but I'm planning on him having a happy ending, assuming that it turns out how I'm currently thinking it will.

>>84944117
Inshallah

So, with the physical and biome map near completion, we need to see what else we need to do:
-Filling the last blank spots. An obvious one, but there are very few spots left, so it shouldn't be that complicated.
-Political map with cities, nation's capitals, main roads and trade routes. That could still wait untill we fill all the empty spots, but there aren't that many anymore, so we have to start thinking about it.
-An approximate general timeline of the world. Maybe a common mythology and cosmogony.
-How the flat world works: The night/day cycle, seasons, its relation with magic, how the Emptiness affects the world...
-Adding more lore to the more lacking spots. We could check the wiki for those places with very little lore.
Anything else we might need?

>Traditional song sung by an elderly Elyrian, of when his people were in chains

These old worn legs aren't bending
and the pain just isn't mending
hobble once and hobble twice
through this life's ordeal and vice


Up the village, down the village
uphill, back and then for tillage
rain or shine no matter what
till lassitude overflowed the soul.

They've beaten all the workers, the masters
yet they've left me starving
And paired with the ox
I've ploughed ploughed all through ravines
my master’s acres by all means

Twenty years of age a burro
bore a stone pit clean and thorough
and I've built up on the verge
of the village the new church

Should you wake up, you dumb dunce
you'll keel o'er the world at once
Look around the others set out
the world has turned red
a new sun now rose so grand
o'er some sea, some other land

>Song swung by a wandering bard in Terpsythea

Past times are burnt, flying away to oblivion
turn into wounds that never heal, hurting through the nights
They carry you away to oblivion

Hold on a minute, don't speak, let the heart's beat
say whatever's to be said, giving birth under the light
for something worthless, don't you fear, how we got to the unspoken
My dear, don't you disappear

And in the break of the day, when longing comes in
A strange bliss it'll be, turning into thirst and fire
A strange bliss it'll be

Claiming the land below the civilized trolls

>>84950623
zero lore = no claim

>>84950831
That's the way I've done things since thread 1 and I've put more lore in this setting than 80% of the people here. Deal with it.

>>84950841
Lies. This is thread 1: https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/84774616/ nobody claimed anything without giving some lore ar at least a name with the claim back then. You are full of shit

>>84951038
I meant thread 2, but you get the point. Literally no one has had a problem with that except for you. Stop seeing ghosts, fairyschizo.

>>84951095
So you say one thing but when you get called out on it you suddenly meant a different thing huh? Totally not sketchy bro. The fact that you think >>84950831 and I are the same guy but you are the one calling us a schizo isn't really helping your case either

>>84951095
But if it bothers you so much:

I claim the land for the Knightlands of the Golden Skulls, a state that was established by a branch of some mercenaries heardquartered in Ampleazzo, although under some really strange circumstances. More to come soon.

>>84951162
I really don't give a fuck about what you think or what your problem is. Like I said, I've been doing that since (almost) the very beginning of the project and not a single one of my ideas has been rejected, no matter how much you sperg out over me claiming land without coming up with a name first.

>>84951164
You wish. Either pretend to be someone else later on and come up with a different idea for that region or fuck off. Knightlands of the Golden Skulls is not happening after that bs you just pulled.

>>84951189
Um, I think it is. You must be one of the earlier retards that was trying to derail the project with random shitflinging. People have been claiming land, coming up with the lore later on and those have been added to the map (and the wiki) no problem until you suddenly have an issue with in thread 8 (eight).

Go find some other project to ruin, or write some lore yourself so people don't get to make up nations that you don't like lol

>>84951186
I wasn't even the person pointing it out in the first please. Only thing I've done is expose your lie and now you are salty about it. The other anon's objection was fully justified and you had to be a little bitch about it. I've followed this project since the beginning and making claims without giving lore was never a common thing.

>>84951242
You can cry all you want. I'll post my lore and the OP will decide whether he wants to add it to the map, making it canon. Until then, write your own lore and stop crying.

>>84951254
Also lmao at

>I exposed your lie

Damn, too bad I didn't scan through all of the 8 threads so far to see which one exactly I started claiming lands before posting my lore. But I guess it must be a coincidence that it's now up to objection when a guy earlier posted his lore about the "Niggertown" being in the same place.

>>84951254
>>84951267
I'm not. You had your chance to post this >>84951164 in response to this >>84950831 but instead you choose to be an arrogant faggot, sperg out and tell straight up lies to justify your claim. Ultimately OP is the one who decides but since nobody claimed anything without giving lore in the second thread either as can be seen here: https://archive.4plebs.org/tg/thread/84847594/ I really doubt OP will appreciate your fairytales.

Map anon here. I'm going to start with the depth map.

IMPORTANT: Both sea and land depth are measured using sea level as the starting point, so if a mountanous area is only 10m of depth, you'd have to take into account he original height, so you have to check the altitude map as well.

Anything else I should add before continuing?

>>84950841
>I've put more lore in this setting than 80% of the people here
lol someone's still salty his erlking idea got rejected

>>84951396
The tricky thing is that I'm going to have to ask for all references to underground and sea depths.

Also, I have no idea if it's better to use the sea level as a starting point, or to add each individual underground area its own depth from its surface starting point.

>>84951450
I'd say make different maps for different height layers indicated by color which you can overlap when all of this finished

>>84951499
Oh, trust me, I am. The Photoshop file is reaching the 1000 layers frighteningly fast.

Ok, so the sea depth is relatively easy, just need some chiseling the borders to make it look more natural. The land depth is going to be more complicated. I think I'm just going to search for all the underground places and put stickers with the names and known depths. Otherwise the information is going to be somewhat muddled.

My entries for Drow City States, Azan Empire, Witch-Elves, and the Isle of Wizards have some key dates that affect much of the southwest

>>84949179
>>84951367
copypasting from previous thread:

"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"

Since then we also added Biblion and >>84949451

>>84949802
There is a picture of the Witch-Elf Prophet Empress in the Witch-Elf entry

>>84949451
Can you summarize this in a paragraph or two? Call me lazy but I'm not going to read 300 posts in order to write down the lore of one small nation.

File: Golden Skulls.png (23 KB, 156x737)

23 KB PNG

The Golden Skulls were a mercenary company that had its base in the city of Ampleazzo. Its originals members were exiled knights, officers and nobles from ChangriLa, hoping to one day reclaim their home.

One of their contracts entailed escorting a group of scholars and mages to a southern land, unclaimed by any nations, occupied only by a handful of rock trolls. These scholars called themselves the "Archeological Society of Azan", devoted to archaelogical studies of various ancient civilizations and cultures. Despite their name, their ranks were bolstered by many cultured men (and non-humans) from all around the West.

Even though their request seemed strange at first, the scholars paid well so the mercenaries complied. After some weeks time, the Society found the ruins of an underground clockwork city, built by the Brass men of the Handprint desert themselves! As their funds had gotten low, they struck a deal with the mercenaries.

Although they couldn't return them to their home in ChangriLa, the Archeological Society helped the mercenaries settle down in these lands, using their political connections in Lorient and Azan to legitimize their occupation.

In return, the Golden Skulls helped the Society to build their own city in the now "Golden Skull Knightlands", where they were excempt of taxes and allowed to freely conduct their research of the Brassmen cities and mechanisms.

The excavations and research of the lost technology of the Brassmen was going at marvelous speed for the Archelogical Society. They managed to recreate replicas of the automatons that used to serve the Brassmen (although, not quite managing to bring them to life) as well as replicate certain other inventions, such as rapid-firing crossbows, ventilation systems and even an enchant airship made out of Brass, on which the scholars still use in their travels.

>>84952136
Despite the swift progress of decoding the secrets left behind by the Brassmen, the Archeological Society of Azan is worried of the tensions rising amongst the mercenaries that now constitute the state's governing ranks. If a civil war were to happen in the Knightlands, then surely the created chaos would surely sweep them too, setting back their research dramatically.

Ironically enough, the scholars have used some of their newly acquired riches to employ other mercenaries to protect their city and their studies, fearing that a change in the Golden Skulls management would threaten their fragile agreement.

>>84951888
I decided to add it since it doesn't break any rules despite it being scummy. We have no way to know who actually is the fairyfag, although I'm certain that that person isn't him.

Let's try to add some lore before claiming, shall we.

Also I'm going to add some of my own bits in the map.

>Alltaf Tribes

The Alltaf are an offshoot tribe of Hyperboreans living in villages and small towns made out of conifer trees' wood, in northern Zemyland. They are known as a trusting and hospitable people, welcoming strangers into their village without any suspicion, unlike the desert Nerim to the south.

They believe in one God, the creator of all living beings, and hate demon worshippers and anything that resembles the undead. They are suspicious of the Librarian folk and the owl-men from Biblon, who have been trying to steal the secrets of the Skaal shamans to add in their ever-expanding collection of knowledge, although with little success so far. Although the Alltaf are split in many tribes with many shamas as their leaders, they are united against external threats.

>>84952574
Jesus christ Zemyland is truly a clusterfuck.

You have the Hyperboreans, who are russo-nordic I guess, the Alltaf who are nordic-like, the Zemylander kingdoms, the "Snow Elves", the desert (???) tribesmen, the Library people and also red riding hood who I guess is also a Zemylander

>Moreaux Island

Off the western coast of the Eldritch Jungle is an isolated island with a dark history. Taking advantage of everyone’s fear of going anywhere near the Eldritch Jungle, a group of scholars and magic users from Azan created a top secret research center for carrying out a wide range of unethical experiments, including demon summoning, necromancy, and monster creation.

Surprisingly, the research center’s creations never successfully overwhelmed their creators, instead, the programs were deliberately shutdown and most of the creations destroyed, after some of the senior mages found new employment or new locations to carry out their research closer to home.

However, some of programs less monstrous creations were allowed to live, and their descendants still live on the island today, along with the descendants of laborers, servants, guards, and junior scholars and mages.

The more unusual inhabitants include races made while testing the limits of the primal elf ability to cross-breed with other races (crab-elves, frog-elves, badger-elves, cow-elves, fungi-elves), races created while magically fusing different body parts together (animal-heads, fungi-heads, false mermaids, mini-ettins), and races made while tampering with the human form (blemmyes, monopods, cyclops).

These days, the humans of mostly Azan descent and their creations live in the island interior, either as simple hunter gatherers, or as arcane researchers, while the descendants of guards from the Zulutaur Steppes and Mona Ki Ngi Xica Savannah live along the coast, fishing and scavenging.

Sometimes slavers visit the island to try and grab some of the more exotic monsters, which then fetch high prices from bored nobles looking for a new curiosity.

>>84952574
you mixed up the locations for the Alltaf Tribes and the Spider Forest anon

>>84952574
Gilgamash should be a little bigger in my opinion since it's basically mythical Assyria/Mesopotamia

>>84952694
The guy who "claimed" the land for the Spider Forest said it'd be West of New Hyperborea, he didn't say north so I reserved that place for the Alltaf. Also the lore matches up because it says the forest is between those places.

>>84952712

There's nothing that indicates it should be next to Biblion. In fact, it's the exact opposite.

yes there is he specifically said he wanted it to be in the place where the fairytale anon wanted his Erlking Kingdom so he wouldn't get it

>>84952983
his lore contradicts that, then. and since there's no space for the erlking anymore there's no reason to go against the lore

well sounds like you are abusing your power a little but go ahead

I am the one who suggested it last thread and I really don't care where it goes. Stop being pissy.

>>84953005
How am I abusing my power? I really don't get it. If I wanted whoever wrote the Erlkingdom to place his realm to the north I really would not even put the spider forest in the map in the first place, as most people wanted, right? Or I would have not come up with my own realm in the north, where the Erlkingdom used to be..

>>84953042
Not to mention that even if the Spider forest was in the north, then my own realm would be in the south. Nothing would change. You confuse me.

>>84953041
well if you don't care anyway there's no point in me defending your territory

hey stop arguing guys. let's go back to worldbuilding. :) but really op you must add the strange meadows

In the freezing mountains in the northern Great End Peaks one can find the Tenzin people. These people live a simple life atop the snow covered plateaus where they build lonely villages. They are herders of yak and big goats, species that are larger than their southern relatives owned by the Otamlar. They play a game involving kicking a ball into a net, although many balls fall over the mountains and lost in the valleys below.

Even though they are split among many smaller tribes, the Tenzin Tsenpos (local rulers) build large monasteries that rival even the biggest palaces of many other nations.

The Otamlar consider them harmless pastoralists and monks, and when their paths cross near the centre of the mountain range they either ignore or assist each other.

There's a legend among the southeastern people of Giantstep that there's a city hidden in the Great End Peaks, the city of Tanzurutu. It's said that it houses a gemstone where the secret of immortality lies inside it. Many expeditions have been lost in these mountains, falling to their death or worse, being killed by Sylvans, demonic creatures who are said to be guarding the entrance to Tanzurutu.

Eventually, the legend of Tanzurutu fizzled out, turning into a myth. The Tenzin people, however, always knew that it had existed. The very first (and largest) monastery was built to protect the sole entrance to Tanzurutu. Inside the monastery there's a series of deadly traps and riddles.

Only the most important of the Tenzin monks are able to witness the beauty of Tanzurutu. Those have said that despite the mountains around it being frozen, the valley that houses Tanzurutu has an entirely different climate, being more tropical and green, hence why it's considered an earthly paradise for the Tenzin.

Those monks drink from the sap of a humongous tree in the middle of the city, which gives them the power to communicate with the Sylvan guardians and see glimpses of the future.

Although an ordinary Tenzin will never even set foot in any of these monasteries, it's still a considered a great crime to reveal the location or the existence of Tanzurutu to outsiders.

Also, isn't it convenient that every time these shadow maps get posted it's always then that "people" who defend the schizo start appearing?

Also, Biblion looks suspiciously small in the schizomap... could it be that he's making space for the shartlingwood? Surely not.

Have a fun time reading through the clusterfuck that was the first half of this thread, which caused the original OP from thread 1 to leave btw, because he didn't want to deal with fairytale faggot.
No point in entertaining bad faith actors who will make blatant lies just in order to shit up the thread for everybody else.

>>84955729
All I see is someone who decided by himself to de-canonize an entire island for no reason despite everyone (including the OP) going along with it

>>84955723
As you can see from the latest map people are trying to police what's canon and what's not.

>>84955729
You are a disingenious troll that is purposefully derailing these threads since the fairytale issue came up. I know you are the one posting the fake maps because you're on some sort of powertrip since you experienced how disrupting a single person can be with this and now you want to be "notorious" aswell which is why you keep avatarfagging. don't act like you care for this project faggot you only want to see it burn

>>84955729

Anon I, ...

>>84955289
Reasonable take. Add the erlking forest to one of the white blanks. Let's just settle this tiresome issue.

>>84955806
No one is "policing" any map but you. People write lore. make suggestions and OP adds them to the map. The only ones who got rejected are the obvious trolls (like manpreg island) and the samefagging schizo, although I do find it worrying since you were RPing as the schizo for like 2 threads

>>84955824
are you talking about yourself? is this projection or full on schizophrenia?

You're dancing around the issue like a blazing retard. Why don't you answer why you've been posting fake maps for 2-3 threads now?

the redcons have enabled him. we should learn from this for the next thread

>>84955859
Anon I know you think you are being smart by accusing others of the exact thing you are doing yourself but nobody is buying it. Touch grass

>>84955806
So we're stuck with three choices.

>1

Comply with schizo 1 and add the shit he's trying to push for 5 threads now. The result would be him getting happy and hopefully stop samefagging/spamming and write some lore.

>2

Comply with schizo 2 of redconning every single thing that gets posted instead of the stuff he wants. Result is people jumping ship because their lore is retconned for no reason. Project is dead for good (probably his goal).

>3

Do as we did before and let OP judge what gets added and what not, while ignoring the obvious trolls.

>>84955881
Answer the question of why you're posting the fake map. Everything else is gibberish coming from your avatarfaggot ass with no justification.

>>84955541
This anon was full of shit from the very beginning. He posted the OP of the thread that triggered the other faggot into his spergout. Not saying he's fully to blame for that obviously but he was clearly pushing his buttons in order to fuck shit up and start a shitflinging.

File: Varan.png (2.56 MB, 2480x3508)

2.56 MB PNG

The Varan people inhabit the Western coast of Zemyland. Their ancestors were kicked out of their ancestral lands by the people who now inhabit the Orange Marquissates and the Woodcutter cities. Unwilling to move into the swamps of Eastern Smallstep, they instead fled North.
The communities of the Varangeld ("land of the Varan", in their tongue) are a large collection of independent villages dedicated to agriculture and fishing for seawyrms in the Sea of wraiths. Being skilled sailors and tough warriors, hardened by the brutal conditions of the lands they inhabit, the Varan make for excellent mercenaries sought across the North. A contingent of them even joined the imperial guard of the emperor of Azan.
Varan villages constante engage warfare between them for the few fertile lands that are available. But every few generations, all the Varan tribes are united by a noble warlord, who assembles mighty armies of hundreds of ships. When that happens, the people to their south have many a reason to prepare for several years of intense raiding and brutal war.
So far, the Varan raids haven't been successful in their ultimate goal of retaking their ancestral lands, but that hasn't stopped them from trying again in the past.
All the Varan nobles are entombed into great barrows full of valuables, which now dot the southern foor of the white mountains. Supposedly, this was a rather common practice in northern Giantstep and Smallstep several centuries ago, but is nowadays long forgotten.
Some Varan people have abandoned their lands and migrated south, integrating into the modern society of Smallstep and southern Zemyland. The mother of Saint Lorentz, founder of the Laurentian knights, was a Varan maiden.

>>84955972
I'm the current OP. The western coast of Zemyland is fully claimed but the Varan can inhabit some other part of the map. Maybe the island next to Kunt?

>>84955929

Alright, I think I'll come up with some lore to pass the time.

Northeast of the ruined colony of War-Wel lies the island of Tuarapon. It's an island with beauty like no other, where several species of plants and animals thrive, many found nowhere else on the Continent.

Its beauty has been known for a while by Asvaran explorers, although Tuarapon's full potential was not unlocked until a famed alchemist from Arangea landed on its coast during a botanical expedition. Although its forests and jungles are extremely value to any alchemist for a plethora of rare potions, true danger lies in the geological properties, where cracks in the earth's crust release dangerous fumes that can incapacipate a human in mere seconds.

That's why all expeditions to Tuarapon are always to be proceeded with extreme caution. Many voyages have returned with poisoned alchemists due to their extreme eagerness upon eyeing the exotic plants.

>>84956108
I think we should wait for input from map and paint.net anon, since they are the ones whose identities we can trust upon. Apparently he also thinks that the OP (who's I, who has been updating the map since thread 4) has been abducted by the ominous schizo that is all 20 posters of this thread at once.

>>84956268
If you aren't the fairytalefaggot, and you are acting in good faith, then you can easily prove it very simply by erasing the red queen from the map. That's all there's to it. If you refuse to do so then it's pretty clear you are the samefag that's been shitting up this place since thread 3.

>>84956326
Ι thought we already had this discussion a few threads ago. We were arguing on whether not to allow the Erlkingwood that was being shilled back then. I rolled back to a map that had no erlkingwood but had the crimson queen and we all moved on.

Do you really think it's worth setting this setting back to ground zero (again) for one insignificant spot on the map that was not added by fairytale/erlkingfaggot (As you can tell by the writing style, the fairyfag's writing is very distinct, and you've also added one of his own newly added provinces on the fake map as well)

>>84956379
Also I've been constantly pestered on adding the strange meadow and the erlkingwood for 4 threads and I never gave in. Wouldn't it make sense to sneak it in somehow, if I was the same person all along?

>>84956379
>that was not added by fairytale/erlkingfaggot
Except it was and it was proven beyond any doubt mate. Pretending he didn't write it was some retarded tactic the samefag used around thread 4 in order to ask other anons to not delete fairtytale shithole.
If you aren't him then stop defending him lol. If you are acting in good faith then let's solve this issue and put both maps together into a canon.

This was the map I posted back in thread 6 when the fairytale fag resurfaced. It removed the Erlkingwood but included the Crimson Queen, and no one objected while everyone agree and moved on, until you (and only you) holding a grudge until now.

Why are you also removing the Alltaf and the Spider Forest too? (while also adding the strange meadows, which, as we both know, were also written by the schizofag)

>>84956508
>Why are you also removing the Alltaf and the Spider Forest too?
I have no issue with them I just haven't come to update.
>(while also adding the strange meadows, which, as we both know, were also written by the schizofag)
Was it? What makes you think so? Honest question.

>>84956558
As well as with the Erlkingwood and some other stuff, the schizo/fairytale/whoever anon, he also begs for the map to be updated in a less than elegant way whenever I "ignored" his request. The writing style is very similar to that of the Erlkingwood, with many missed punctuation marks and typos.

I don't hold a grudge against him as long as he's not being obnoxious, so that's why I ignore the hamfisted entries. If you want, we can switch the lore of the Crimson Queen so it's a Kingdom that took its name after a sword or a mythological figure or whatever, but I'm not replacing one meh state in the map with a throwaway one whose goal is only to replace the former.

>excuses to not delete the schizo samefagger's shit
>I'm totally not the notorious samefagger btw

>>84956667
And I guess the one that's been begging me to add the Erlkingwood for almost a week now is a different person that's defending the schizo? Or is that supposed to be me arguing with myself for the sake of believability?

Either you, the way you're forcing me into an ultimatum that either way will add to the regression of this setting (either you or him spergs out).

Below Kengorord, to the West of Biblion, are located the Ash ruins.
Huge abandoned cities, possibly larger than any found today in Giantstep, with metallic walls hidden below permafrost, half of them (or maybe more) being underground.
Many expeditions have been made unto them by people all the way from Arangea to Elanxa. None sofar have discovered the true nature of their origin, but all agree that they must be incredibly old. There is some sort of... patterns? etched into the citadels' walls, but if they are some sort of writing system, then it's completely alien to anything found in the continent.
Large constructs of metal have been found within, though their purpose of functionality seem indecipherable.
Nobody, not even the great archwizards, have been able to come up with a solution as to how these titanic cities of metal could have been constructed. Let alone the perhaps greater mystery of how a race of beings capable of building them disappeared without any recorded trace.

North of the bladegrass kayaker tribes one can find the Sealed grove, a forest where an meek, shapeshifting race lives - the Facedancers.

Having been sealed by a magical spell of the Druchont druids, the Facedancers are unable to leave the boundaries of the forest, but people are not barred from entering. Facedancers are able to take upon the identity of any person they kill (whether it be human, dwarf, halfling or gnore), and only then will they be able to escape the forest.

The Facedancers are able to switch in and out of their assumed form at will, only taking a few minutes at times to do so. They can mimic the victims's voice and physical form, but only if they are of similar body weight, which means that dwarves and other smaller races are their primary target. Many killing sprees in Gvilderstaaten and Nekiz in the past have been found out to have been carried by Facedancers, assuming one form after another.

The Facedancer's true form is hideous. The size of a hobbit, they are bald with elongated limbs, hooked noses and horse-like teeth. Not all facedancers are evil, however. Some only kill out of necessity, in order to escape their prison imposed on them by the Drouchont. Before that, many facedancers would not even bother changing forms at all, instead happily living in their communities in the forest. However, the evil deeds of a few have truly stigmatized the Facedancer people for eternity.

In the thick forests of the Harmony Goddess lies a 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 spells, control plants, thorns and trees in a magical way.... or so the legends say.

In reality, Erlkönig is far from his glory days. He once used to rule over the northern forests of Zemyland, long before the Zemylanders, or even the Hyperboreans roamed these lands. But Erlkönig one day got too cocky, and abducted the son of the Aine Saevherne Elder King.

Thanks to his magically gifted advisor, Calathan, the Elder King found the true source of these kidnappings. With fire and steel they razed Erlkönig's forest, his minions being unable to deal with the magic of the mighty Calathan.

Powerless and defeated, Erlkönig fled to the south, even using a glamor spell in order to sneak aboard a fishing sloop. Erlkönig found his way south, to the jungles near opportunity river. As most of the pilgrims that made their way to the temples of the harmony goddess would follow the predetermined path, Erlkönig was left with no prey.

To this day, he sits idly in his grove, daydreaming about better times while caiques and cacatoes mock him with their songs

no matter his state, this poor demigod is one of a kind and should be treated as so

Ok, I have an idea about how the day-night cycle works. So, starting with the assumption the world is flat, there's nothing to make us think there isn't a three dimensional space, thus we can put things both above and below the world.

I propose there are two pairs of celestial bodies orbiting around the plain world. An orbit with two suns, and orbit with two moons. Each body is on the polar opposite of the other within their own orbits, rotating around the world. Thus, each day has one sun and one moon different from the day before.

I'm not sure if I've explained it well enough, so here's a gif to illustrate it.

>>84958015
I still think the world being flat is kind of a stupid idea that was placed by a trolling anon the first thread since it kinda limits us (especially on worldbuilding), but I respect your efforts on making this work out.

Maybe we can work on a middle ground, pretend that the world is flat, but also that this map isn't the entire world, but rather only the known/explored world. So your system still works, but there's still the option of the civilizations exploring beyond the seas/the uncharted jungle, from a storytelling perspective always.

Okay, still find it strange that the troll kept adding it to his fake map just to spite the rest. Are you also the one who wrote about the Biblion?

Also, it's (probably) smaller than you intended. Maybe Gilgemash should be a tad bit smaller to the south.

No, I didn't write that. I'm not sure why it's been spammed. I wrote the Strange Meadows stuff and went away, next thing I know someone has spammed it to be added to the map and it's at risk of not being added at all.

I think it's safe to say that it will be on the map for now on. Even if you were the guy who wrote Erlkingwood, it doesn't even matter anymore, since the guy that's been sperging out about it for a week is clearly more keen on destroying the thread than preserving its quality.

Basado

In the Ogabo desert, in the lands of the Rakel(in the northern lands of the desert, not far from the lawless lands that border the bogs) there is an immense circle of twenty seven stones, each between seven and twelve meters in diameter. This was an ancient holy place, constructed by the old Tolbari, before the years of storms. When the nature priests would leave their great temples they would hold great rituals at this circle. The caverns of Relen the old, or so they were called then, lie only a few meters below the sandstone ground of this site.

>>84958769

Ortuga (also known as the Pirate Nest)
A remote, island, which some famous pirates chose as a hiding place. In addition to the winding port city of Sargossa, which smells of rum and whores, the island also offers beautiful beaches and picturesque Caribbean landscapes. It's also home of the legendary Wavewalkers. In addition, shell magic and forbidden voodoo rituals, which were exported from the mainland by medicine men of the Badgassi Mara Honi, are said to be practiced on the island. The most famous pirate and wave runner and who comes from Ortuga is the dreaded Jolly Roger.

Wavewalkers
Are children born on or shortly after an equinox on Ortuga island. They possess the ability to walk on water and cast conch magic. With the appropriate training Wavewalkers can learn to turn this abbility on and off at will. They can also breathe and see underwater. In addition, they survive the water pressure at great depths.

Kobalins
Are sea creatures that are roughly human in shape. Known as the "Deep Tribes," they almost never leave the water. The different tribes are at enmity with each other. Kobalins have long claws and multiple rows of teeth. They feed mainly on carrion. They are enslaved by the Maelstrom and forced to form a single army. The ancestors of the kobalin came from the Mare Tenebrosum and got involved with humans.

The Maelstrom
Is a massive whirlpool in the ocean that the rulers of the Mare Tenebrosum originally created as a gateway into our world. The Maelstrom originates from a huge shell in the Schorfenschrund and still contains a small part of the Mare Tenebrosum. Swarms of flying manta rays can be observed around the Maelstrom in good weather conditions.

The Mare Tenebrosum
Is a parallel world in which there is no land. It is the oldest world and the origin of old gods. The current rulers of Mares want to come to our world to rule over it. It is not known if they are gods or mortals, but they can live for thousands of years.

Florinth could be a league of large city-states rather than a single city but they all answer to one authority + there's a dense substrate of smaller towns between these city-states that help to maintain a robust internal economy

The old Tolbar wielded mighty magics from the realm of souls and were filled with boundless pride.
They thought to tame the desert, crafting cities from sands and tunnels of wind and sand kilometers long, making weeks of travel last only a day.
They sought to free themselves of the desert, by stealing the water of the swamps with their spells.
But the witches would not allow it.
So they turned to the desert, and sought to bring life to it through the realm of souls.
They opened a great rift, and while many souls were sacraficed, the desert indeed was filled with life.
But it was filled not plants and animals, but the sands and rocks themselves.
Thus began the years of storms, as over the course of decades, spirits entered the mortal realm before the last of the Tolbar archmagi sealed the rift, at the cost of the total annihilation of the rift, the archmage, and all nearby.
But the damage that had been done could likely never be recovered from.
Tuwel, once a shining jewel visible for miles, was an inhospitable wasteland.
No longer would there be merchants and craftsment meeting in Feyahd to sell their wares, only warriors seeking anything that could help them survive.
The Tolbari would never forget the toubles and the devastation, and seek forevermore to appease the spirits, as they wander across the sands.

Captain Ishmael is a tall, weatherbeaten, sinewy man in his late fifties with graying hair and a frighteningly intense presence. His charisma makes him appear larger than life to others. This impression is only reinforced by his hard, wrinkled features, his piercing eyes blazing with the fire of madness - and a wide, sallow scar running from his hairline to his face and down his neck, making him even more intimidating.
Many rumors and legends surround Ishmael's eventful life. He was Born on the Island Hornkap His mother was an insane widow who died when he was only twelve months old and is said to have cursed him with her dying breath. Mostly left to his own devices, he grew into a strong, independent boy who knew how to hold his own in a tough world. He is said to have attended college and lived among cannibals and experienced wonders fathomless than the tides.
He first went whaling as a young harpooner at the age of eighteen and had since found his place at sea. Over the next few years, his restless spirit propelled him along the iron rails of life until he became captain of his own whaler.

[...]

When his ship got caught in one of the notorious typhoons off Ortuga and all the masts were broken, the whole crew feared that the next wave that would crash over them would sink them and pull them all down. Ishmael, however, took the rudder and managed to save everyone on board and steer the badly damaged ship to the nearest port for much-needed repairs.
During his last voyage, Ishmael, who was in his late fifties past his prime, had a fateful encounter. His venerable ship, the Nautilus, adorned with bizarre whalebone trophies, crossed the path of an unusually gigantic albino war-whale, widely known as Monstro and the subject of numerous legends, as it made its way through the oceans.
When Ishmael blew to hunt the mighty, ancient whale covered with harpoons all over his body, the wild beast did not flee, but counterattacked . Before the whalers could react, Monstro dived under and smashed Ishmael 's boat from below. The captain fell between the sharp ivory teeth of the whale, which bit off his leg as effortlessly as if he had cut off a blade of grass with a scythe.
While Monstro escaped in the unfathomable depths of the sea, the badly wounded Ishmael was brought back on board and painstakingly patched up. He survived his injury, but was henceforth dependent on a crude prosthetic leg made of pale whale bone. When he's not chasing Monstro, Ishmael can be found drunk in the Sour Barnacle bar on the Hornkap Isle.

Idea for a smaller town on the northmost shore of the western lake of florinth.
The town of Senozza:
The Township of Senozza has a population of seventy thousand people.
There are forty guilds within the city, regulating everything from architecture to hunting. Many of the guilds and noble houses in the city have fortified guildhalls and estates within the city.
The noble houses despise the guilds, viewing them as challengers to supplant their role as the leaders of the town. This hatred is worsened by the crisis of the death of Ulberto Lorenz, the head of house Lorenz, at the hands of former guildmaster Ievenni Giarmo.

>Merfolk Empire (historical)

The Merfolk Empire was a utopian paradise where widespread magic usage, some conventional, and some divine (from the seemingly, at the time, benevolent god Uun) allowed even the common folk to live comfortably with little hardship, while the elite created great wonders the likes of which the world has not seen since.

Despite its name, it was a mostly human nation, and was split up into five kingdoms.

Mourndaria was famous for its sophisticated poets and artists, its elaborate social customs, and its obsession with cleanliness. It was a land of beautiful, organized cities, separated by orderly farms and pastures.

Palazzo was known for its fondness for discipline, both mental and physical, which lead to it producing many great theologians, philosophers, athletes, and warrior monks. Much of the population lived in isolated monasteries, separated from the wilderness by well kept grounds.

Solara was centered on a large lake, kept artificially warm with magic. The people were lax and decadent, living slow paced lives soaking up the sun and the warm waters.

Leng was a nation of builders. They pushed their magic to its fullest, making marvelous palaces, massive cities, and exquisite works of craftsmanship. They had a strange fondness for mazes, and many of their ruined cities are surrounded by them.

Finally, there was Akuwamaden, the kingdom of the eastern merfolk. A proud, wise, and long-lived race, their magic was exceptional, and they were able to create platforms that would levitate on the surface, allowing them to build cities along the coast, in addition to their underwater kingdom. They were key in ending ancient wars between the other four nations, and as a result, one of their own always filled the role of Emperor, in addition to dominating Uun’s clergy, and filling a number of diplomatic and administrative roles.

>>84960740

The Merfolk Empire’s Golden Age lasted for millennia, and such was their power that no one ever seriously opposed them, though expansionism was not their way.

However, it is said that one day, Uun looked down upon the utopia that he had helped guide and create, and decided he was bored...

For no particular reason, other than to perhaps experience the anguish of others, he punished the inhabitants of the five kingdoms in unique ways.

Sophisticated and orderly Mourndaria was cursed such that all who stayed there for too long became increasingly stupid, short-sighted, violent, and immature. As an added insulted, Uun gave them a compulsions to defy key practices of the Mourndarians regarding hygiene and bodily wastes. Mourndaria became known as the Kingdom of Grobianismus. The peasants live brutal, stupid lives. Those that somehow survive infancy rarely make it past 50 due to disease, accidents, assaults, or persecution. Those that somehow claw their way into positions of relative power (or descend from such individuals) rarely do much better. The old elite of Mourndaria have it the worse. They were transformed by Uun into buffoonish statues, placed in village squares or palace gardens, where they are trapped, conscious, to watch over their moronic descendants further ruin their former kingdom forever.

>>84960749

Disciplined Palazzo was cursed such that all who stayed there would gradually lose all self control and succumb to their vices. Invisible servants constantly create new and irresistible meals, drinks, and other substances, while attractive men and women appear from nowhere to seduce all they see. The original inhabitants mostly died from excess within decades, but new dopes are constantly drawn to her cursed monasteries from the relative safety of the port cities. The elite of Palazzo however, are trapped in a constant cycle of rebirth, and gradual descent into insanity, succumbing to their vices again and again for eternity. This land is now known as Kokaine, for a powder some reckless individuals sometimes smuggle out of the country.

Warmth loving Solara was cursed with eternal cold. A massive blizzard engulfed the region and didn’t leave for months. When it did, the inhabitants had all seemingly disappeared, but they are still there, their invisible spirits trapped in this unnaturally cold region, perpetually cold and hungry. The former kingdom of Solara is now split into several distinct regions, some inhabited by hearty newcomers, others deemed uninhabitable and left to the blizzards, ghosts, and other, long forgotten things. Ironically, this is not the first time such an event happened in the land that was once Solara, and before that something else. Ancient legends say that part of the region was once unnaturally cold, and ever since Uun’s curse, the area east of the lake is far colder than the rest.

>>84960749

Leng’s industrious inhabitants were cursed to become wrinkled rat like creatures, driven by an insatiable need to build, though in their haste they rarely build anything of quality. For unknown reasons, most of them moved to the Dem Helidden Peninsula, which they turned into a massive, filthy cluster of crumbling cities. But a few remain in the core of Leng, or certain other coastal holdings, where they watch from the shadows as newcomers struggle to prosper in the ruins of their kingdom, and sometimes intervene. These rare individuals are in fact the cursed elite of Leng, now immortal, and retaining enough of their former power to sometimes do good, though they usually mop about sullenly in the ruins of their proudest creations, or join their descendants in their wild industry, sometimes for decades at a time.

Finally, Akuwamaden’s proud, wise, merfolk inhabitants were cursed to become strange squid-like creatures. Partially insane, they swing between remorseful and regretful, and frenzied with the desire to fulfill their unnatural needs via unfortunate beings living on the eastern coasts. Like the other cursed elites of the Merfolk Empire, they are immortal, and all but indestructible. Any destroyed via extreme methods will simply be reborn in the foulest manner imaginable.

Having ruined the empire he once guided and helped to greatness, it is said Uun departed this world and was never seen again.

Peeing in each others mouths is considered a culturally normal daily ritual in most societies in the world.

Nobody knows what Vampires really are. Some people speculate that Vampires in reality are undead, while others that vampirism is a disease. Some, even, say that Vampires are a different species altogether.

The truth is a combination of all those. Where vampirism came from no one can know for sure, but its condition can be spread from person to person through blood, usually from a bite in the neck. Then they undergo a process where the host dies, but gets reborn as a fledged vampire. Many vampires get buried before they're able to turn, which gave rise to the practice in several peasant villages where they'd nail down the coffin to prevent the deceased from escaping.

Vampires feed on all kinds of blood, although the most nutritious one comes from the same species as the vampire. A vampire has to feed every couple of days, and one that doesn't turns more feral as the days pass by. The older a vampire gets, it generally hold more power, such as hemomancy, shape-shifting, transforming into smoke etc, whereas newer vampires are barely stronger than normal humans.

Vampires' most important abillity is changing into a more primal, beastly form of vampire. Lesser vampires only gain large fangs and claws, like Alps and Bruxas, while stronger vampires gain access of wings, invisibility, bigger sizes and muscles, like the Ekkimaras or the Fleders.

>>84962207
Higher Vamprires are extremely old vampires most having lived more than a millenia, whereas lesser ones are only a few years or decades old. There are only a dozen that still living in Giantstep, but they hold extreme power. Normally, a vampire that goes too long without feeding has the chance to turn feral, being locked in its primal, beastly form forever. Higher vampires are able to control their hunger indefinitely, not relying on blood consumption for survival, but instead drinking it like a human would drink alcohool.

They are also very resistant to the sun, unlike their lessen brethren, making them much better at blending in society, with normal means of vampire detection being useless against them.

Higher Vampires are almost indestructible, since they are able to regenerate any wound extremely quickly, including dismemberment of any limb. Only the most veteran of vampire hunters or other vampires are able to kill one, and that's usually only when they are transformed. That's because a higher vampire's primal form is truly terrifying, looking more like an ancient demon than a bat.

Despite all that, Higher Vampires are not all evil. Many avoid human contact altogether, and some even work altruistically, if clandestinely, to aid humanity.

File: Elder.jpg (830 KB, 992x1424)

830 KB JPG

>>84962343
However, even the most powerful of Higher Vampires answer to an Elder Vampire. Elder Vampires are the oldest of the oldest, with some saying that they are the fathers of vampirism, and have lived in Giantstep longer than any man, dwarf, halfling, elf or any other living race. When Lesandros, Biblion and Qadash were in their infancy, Elder Vampires were already ancient.

Elder Vampires have the abillity to move at extremely quick speeds, faster than a blink of an eye, and can summon any vampire wherever he wants, with it being obligated to answer. Elders also have the abillity to open portals to other dimensions, although that power is seldom used.

The only known Elder Vampire resides in the caves of the island of Umar, not far from the land of changing waters. The island is extremely arid with very few resources, which is why the Gilgemash have never bothered to set up any colonies there. The Unseen Elder of Umar has isolated himself from the world, not having interacted with any non-vampire for centuries. He has such impeccable control of his body that he can control his metabolism to the point where he needs no food, water or blood to survive.

Once every year, Higher Vampires from all over the world travel to Usul to pay tribute to the Unseen Elder and ask him for advice. The Elder can also call for a summit in Usul that involves all vampires, although those happen every few hundred years at most.

Most vampires prefer not to confront humans directly, most taking a high place in society and feasting on human blood on very special occasions. Most attacks done by Vampires are done by the most feral ones, so humans often underestimate their power. Vampires know that it is in no one's best interest if an war broke out between the living and the vampires, so they keep a low profile.

Map anon here. I decided to simplify the underground map by, instead of drawing the shape of the underground from an upside down perspective, I'll just add the icons of the different kinds of underground, their names and known depths.

I used the Scimitarian continent as an example of how it could work, maybe with a bubble indicating name and depth.

I need imput as to know where exactly should I put most of this, since so many are tied to city location, which we haven't really discussed that much. Also, please forgive my icon drawing, I'm not particularly skilled with that, if anyone wants to do something better, I'd appreciate it. Other suggestions would be appreciated as well.

it's in the middle of the kinga badlands
basically a massive demonic mouth that constantly demands to be fed and is indeed being fed by a massive quantity of gnolls and orcs

Alright, I added everything to the wiki, up to the Merfolk Empire lore. God it took a while.
