Greetings! About to finish up my Dragon Slaying campaign, and planning the sequel at the moment. Hm... Maybe that means I need to get a name change on here?
Anywho, one of the biggest changes I'll be making is to the atlas!
Here are my countries/regions at the moment, it's all in one continent:
The Nentir Vale: Straight from the back of the DMG if you need a reference. Center point of my campaign, I'm a sucker for how well Fallcrest is planned out. Fits well as a center point.
Litoria: A human country to the SouthEast of Nentir. Recently liberated from an army of hobgoblins by the PCs.
The Stonemarch: NorthWest of Nentir, where the Bloodspear Orcs come from, who are actually the "good" orcs in my campaigns.
Arkhosia: SouthWest of the Vale, struggling, cult-ridden remnant of a spoof of the Roman Republic.
Bael Turath: Loosely settled, mostly desert. Formerly very Egypt like, now very given to internal struggle, much like the Middle East. Nestled between Arkhosia and Litoria.
Winter Bole Forest: Tribe of PC-friendly barbarians and lots of monsters.
Dawnforge Mountains: Cause Dwarves need somewhere to live too, right? Lots of entrances to Underdark.
The Eternal Battlefield: Demiplane of my own design, far to the north.
The Trollhaunt Warrens: The Witchlight Fens is interchangeable with this, cause I liked the Adventure Model a lot. Moonstair is present as well.
Anywho, a lot of these are undergoing some major changes in the fifty years between the campaigns, and I'm also adding a few, most notably a second continent:
New Changes/Regions:
Bavoria: Don't know much about it besides what I can get from Open Grave, where can I dig up some knowledge? On new continent.
Hantumah: In Open Grave. Going to be NorthEast of Bavaria, seperated by large islands. Very Japanese-esque from what I can tell of it.
The Imperium of Nerath: The DemiGod Paladin's bringing it back, and loved the Warhammer 40k fluff. Will contain the Nentir Vale, Winterbole Forest, and Litoria.
Arkhosia: Warlord is retiring after Level 30 to bring back it's glory. Should do fairly well, but starts buting head with the Country-That-I-Can't-Remember.
Bael Turath: Nefermandias recently just torched the only major city here, so unless a PC "adopts" BT as a retirement home and gives it some much needed care, I'm just gonna let the place rot, fester, and turn into a scumhole like Mos Eisley.
"Ork Town": Well, if he wants to run the Imperium, he HAD to have seen this coming! Since the Bloodspears are pretty nonconfrontational after the death of their chieftain, I figure some black-bloods might liven things up and provide a much needed conflict. It has no name though...
I feel like more changes are in order given the time-gap, and two countries a continent does not make (With the exceptions of Australia and the kalashtar's continent from Eberron). Anyone have any ideas, or want any information that might help them make suggestions?
