Working map of Aion
Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator to open it with

Much of the above map is auto-generated. The names, national emblems, naval units, some of the military units, and one city are custom.

The map has lots of problems with it. I may need to rework the whole thing. -_-

Anybody down for a Discord chat? I still cannot map for the life of me. I'm learning, but the going is slow.

Here we go. Created a link to a Discord server for Roleplaying Discussion.

I'm coming to realize that half the problem with creating a world map is deciding on strategy: do we want a realistic map, fun map, or both? Do we need the entire thing all at once, or can we draw it as we go? Should I spend any money on this endeavor? So there's some decisions to make before I can truly begin.

I located a few maps for inspiration.

This dude made a spectacular map on Inkarnate.
This tutorial has some good pointers.
Also saved several Azgaar maps that looked interesting, though I'd have to upload those to Google Drive to show them off. A Discord screen share would be easier.

Another challenge is deciding what to do with the lore currently established. Since we're early into the game, I could probably get away with reworking chunks of it, but I'd rather not if I can avoid it.

Completed a prototype map on Inkarnate. Critique would be appreciated.

Wow, nice Thinslayer. That's a pretty cool map. That, already, is just above and beyond, I appreciate it sir. Please don't spend money on it, unless this is something that you want for yourself.

As for the critique, it's gonna be hard as this is pretty perfect. I know exactly where we are now. That's all we need. Maybe you can update the map as you name new cities or locations. Or if we name any, we just PM you to update the map. I honestly have no criticism, this is awesome.

I'm gonna go read the lore again. With this map, it should crystalise a few things. Thanks a lot.

Also, whatever you need to rework should be fine, so long as you check with Rabid and Conscripts as their characters may be affected. I'm guessing (just guessing) that the story will go to the Empire very soon, so if you're going to change them, you might want to start that first.

Map iteration #2: the Sealed Tower is at the edge of the Empire now.

The roads, btw, generally express the personalities of the various nations. The Tribes in the Badlands tend to connect everything to everything from the mountain; the Empire tries to connect everything with some degree of pragmatism; the Kingdom only gives a hoot about its major cities; Conterre treats each city like a "hub" for the smaller towns around them; the Helsin Khanate prioritizes pragmatism; and Nazir tries to keep everything connected to facilitate military movement.

@Thinslayer I've been wondering, what if Voidspawn found a way to fully enter Aion without possessing a body? Would it be akin to that of demonic horrors? Also what if one such Voidspawn had already figured it out and was secretly amassing an army under the whole world's nose?

@Dark Cloud The situation is even worse than that. Previously, the only Voidspawn on the surface were those left over from the ancient war, the ones that managed to avoid getting sealed away in the core. But the Sealed Tower's spell required exactly the number of people placed inside it; the awakening of the reincarnations weakened the spell, allowing the imprisoned Voidspawn to trickle through. The more reincarnations awaken, the faster they can come out. As Ascended spirits, they can already exist without a body. But since they possess no miraculous powers like what angels or demons have, they cannot influence the physical realm without a body. They can get bodies by possessing intact corpses, which the wars have been producing lots of lately. Burning the dead can prevent them from taking these bodies.

I certainly wouldn't be surprised if the Voidspawn were amassing a secret army somewhere. Maybe I can make an endgame dungeon around the concept...

@Dark Cloud That's a tempting offer, but as the actions of villains direct the course of the story, I feel it would be better to leave that in GM hands.
