just hanging out in Kḧzk, exporting my precious ores
There’s a lot of great stuff here, but for some reason the thing that completely broke me is having “Desert Island”, a small isle with nothing but sand and a single palm tree, in the middle of lush, green islands.
I’m sure that, if a river was drawn into this map, it would be a ten-headed abomination originating from nothing, going uphill through the mountains, and connecting one side of the ocean to the other.
(Also “Nopon” being an almost 1:1 transposition of Japan, but “Retro Tokyo” is in the wrong place lmao)
Don’t Japanese speakers call Japan something closer to Nippon? So it’s even closer than that.
Also, as a LOTR weirdo, the thing that made me laugh was how the mountain range around Orienta is exactly the same as the mountains around Mordor right down to the location of the gates, just rotated slightly. And then right to the left there is Land of Evil-Doom, where the mountains SHOULD HAVE BEEN
The Desert Island is where all the shipwrecked sailors get washed up. This is the result of all ocean currents in the Tepid and Warm seas eventually converging there. If you miss the exit you go right past into the Giant Whirlpool of Hydrodynamic Implausibly.
This is actually a lot of work put into a supposedly generic map.
Loth-plagiarien
Lmao! This map is unreasonably funny.

As the son of a deceased blacksmith from Quainthamlet, a small settlement near Townsburg, I have taken my amateur hand-crafted sword and am on the way to Camenot to find my destiny; most likely reaching my limits many times and overcoming them (just) with the help of my trusty companions and the burning hope and power of friendship that lies within me.
Or I’ll just die, because my sword is crap and I’m a noob.
I’m just hanging out in Townburg greeting adventurers.
It’s a trap! This is just a fantasized map of Brazil! Run for your lives before OP drags us all to Rio!
Then you better have some damn powerful magic otherwise your ice castle will soon become a puddle.
God this feels EXACTLY like Azeroth from World of Warcraft. But hey the dragons have some isles and eggs so I’m down for that, love me some dragons that are actually doing well in a setting

I am but a humble doom miner, mining my doom.
I live in a humble fishing village overlooking Eisfjörd, in the vast cold reaches of Skändivikingä
This looks like Eurasia if you nuked the ever living fuck out of the middle east.
Edit: Honestly this just looks like a post nuclear earth where we just kept dropping more nukes.
That’s still way more imaginative than anything I can do.
you cannot convince me that the Lost City of Erm was not a play on Um from the Discworld
I’m either a cleric from the Abbey of St Whatever passing through Heroshire in my way to hunt monsters in Vampsylvania, or a spellcasting hermit of dubious sanity living in the Witchy Wood.
Simplified eurasia? Nice idea!
