Hey again!
So I was working on my map in the last months since January, and I have some progress to show.
I appreciate your comments on my last post, I've tried to improve my map since.
There are two maps I want to show: An improved and detailed version of my last world map and a map to take a closer look at one nation named Highland Isles.
Firstly, the world map.
As you can see I've been playing around with colours (special thanks go to @LorenzoGatti and @Prinz Eugn) and added some coats of arms as markers for capitals inspired by Skyrim because I thought plain points were a little bit too boring.
Furthermore, I've added some "unknown lands" and details like important roads/castles/villages/cities.
Here's a list with some info about the nations and their capitals:
-
Amron (Capital: Proset) [Located in the desert; few cities, mostly nomads; inspired by ancient Egypt and Varant from Gothic 3]
-
Deep Mire (Capital: Mangrove) [Located in the marshlands; thinly populated; mostly wilderness; inspired by Morrowind and the swamp area from Gothic 1 & 2]
-
Evruun (Capital: Anvil (yeah that one from Oblivion, I like that name)) [Quite advanced civilization; currently in war with the Highland Isles; pretty much a very aggressive and militaristic nation]
-
Folkbridge (Capital: Alcaster) [temperate climate; loyal ally of Hammerwatch; comparable with medieval England; inspired by generally the Fable Series]
-
Fellowgate (Capital: Redcove) [Colder Climate; In the far south tundra-like wilderness; barbaric nation ruled by clans/families]
-
Hammerwatch (Capital: Whitecrown) [Biggest nation with the biggest military since ancient times; currently ruled by a Kaiser that is in an alliance with Folkbridge, Merchants Cliff and Amron; inspired by Cyrodill from TES]
-
Harshrock (Capital: Palewood) [poorest nation; small population with mostly farmers; an inofficial puppet of Evruun]
-
Highland Isles (Capital: Niallscavern) [tropical climate; mountainous; currently in war with Evruun]
-
Liberan (Capital: Liberan) [A kind of Citystate under the rule of Hammerwatch, as you can see by the coat of arms; smallest "Nation"; very rich and democratic nation; trade is the main income source]
-
Mara (Capital: Daso) [East-Asian Culture and tropical climate; second biggest maritime fleet; (of course) inspired by the Japanese empire pre-WWII]
-
Merchants Cliff (Capital: Ordmore) [trade-oriented nation; temperate climate with some colder regions in the north; "friend" of the North Mor nation]
-
Nkaki'kyr (Capital: Hord) [indigenous people in the eastern part of the world; very isolated; little is known about them]
-
North Mor (Capital: Heliga) [viking alike people; barbaric towards the mainland nations; ruled by a king; inspired by Skyrim, Sweden]
-
Pa'andam (Capital: Tul) [-]
-
Sammast (Capital: Prille) [almost the same as North Mor; ruled by families/clans like Fellowgate; inspired by Nordmar from Gothic 3]
And second, the map of Highland Isles:
It's not really finished right now, probably gonna colour it as I did with the main map and do some lore-related stuff.
Sooooo, that's it for now, like last time I would really appreciate feedback and of course new ideas.
Bye o/
(Btw, the font I used for the city names: https://www.dafont.com/04b-03.font, unfortunately, I forgot what font I used to display the nation names. The Highland Isles signature on the second map is drawn by myself inspired by a real medieval typeface)
I have no idea why the spoiler tabs are so broken \o/
