I have a developed fantasy world that needs a Co-GM and a map.

[Dolerman]

Hi there Nation RPers.

I have a developed fantasy world that I've been developing in multiple RPs and 1x1s and I want to expand it into a nation. But I need help with the management of all the lore and also a map.

It's a pretty traditional Swords & Sorcery RP not quite as 'lofty' as high fantasy like LOTR but then not as gritty as a low fantasy like GoT. It's somewhere in the middle. It has 4 major countries (called provinces) and the usual collection of fantasy races.

If you're interested in helping me bring this to life and have experience with GMing and/or Mapmaking send me a message.

The Fantasy World of Terraixa

The traditional sword, sorcery and savior setting where I base all my high fantasy stories and characters.

The 4 Provinces Of Terraxia & Other Areas

Alvion

Welcome to the lands of Alvion, the 1st of the main provinces, you can find this area of land in the north east part of the world. The Alvion Kingdom is a living example of a fairy tale royal city. The Country has mainly forrests and plains and the neighboring towns monstly deal in horses and tools. The very mixed community are moderately intergrated with each other. Although elves prefer to live in forest towns and the majority of dwarves live underground. Halflings seem to live quite closely with humans, and even the demon folk are generally left to their own business.
Population: 50% Humans 20% Elves 10% Dwarves 10% Halflings 5% Demonfolk, 5% Other

Roh

To the south of Alvion the landmass is connected to a harsh desert area known as the domain of Roh, the sun has scorched most of the land into endless miles of desert and savannah the Royal City of Roh is run by the beautiful council, a group of 6 beautiful women said to be over 1000 years old but never age. The Country has very few natural resources so makes most of its income through trading exotic spices, cusines,tourism and assasins. Human's make up the vast majority of the land and there are some tensions between those and the Demonfolk who are known to be murderers and thieves, the other small pockets of races keep to themselves and dont have established communities.
Population: 70% Humans, 5% Dwarves, 20% Demonfolk, 3% Elves, 2% Other

Ispar

Across The Grand Ocean Past the Bishop and Knight Isles in the North West is the ice capped region of Ispar. This nation takes pride in it's highly developed democracy, technology and education, the people of this nation are also very studious and well versed in magic, which contrast to the large burly Dwarves and Human lumberjacks who harvest the Frostwood, some of the finest timber to survive in such a cold country. The reigon is home to many mountains, ice caves, and frozen rivers, the main city of Ispar is controlled by the Greater Ispar Government. The diverse racial makeup of land is very well integrated and all beings live together in the advanced cities.
Population 30% Dwarves, 30% Human, 35% Elves, 5% Other

Naveroth

Population: Humans 75%, Elves 15%, Demonfolk 9%, 1% other
Finally in the south west of the world you will find the Gothic Empire of Naveroth, a very ancient and secluded nation made up of swamps, and very urban towns with stone pavements. The Naveroth main city, is home to the Empress and very little is known about her beyond her solitude, independence and authority over her people. The few large business chains in the land specialise in weapons and the notorious bio-pit is home to some of the most dangerous creatures who are thought to be bred and mutated by Naveroth's highly developed but unethical science community. The City's are almost all Human and the Elves have been driven out to live in small towns in the middle of the swamps. Segregation and Racism is a huge issue here.

Costa (other)

The Costa Islands are dotted around the south cost of Roh, where the weather is more tropical than desert-like, although technically owned by the Roh council the Costa is generally seen as 'free islands' where most of the tourists come to relax and Inns and markets flourish at this beautiful resort land. There is no real ruler but the very rich Halfling produce merchants have a lot of control of what goes on and generally keep order.
Population: Always changing but the main inhabitants are currently humans and halflings.

Bishop and Knight Isles(other)

Population: No offical demographics, but home to many demonfolk.
These very small islands in the centre of the map fall under two different controllers, the Knight Islands Port towns are run by pirates and organised criminals from around the world, and the Bishop Isles are run by insane cults and mystics. The Islands are generally considered dangerous places to be and the 4 kingdoms have largely turned a blind eye to the dealings of the two communities mainly because they are contained in centre of the world map where they are surrouned and generally inactive globally. The Pirates sell stolen goods and train deadly mercenaries while, the mystics of bishop will sometimes part with their ancient artifacts for the right price. Tensions are obviously very high and the communities are unstable at best.

The Koeo Plains

Population: 80% Human 10% Dwarves 10% Demonfolk

Population: 60% Human 20% Dwarves 10% Beastfolk 10% Other

Races

Races & Variants

Humans:
The sons and daughters of the ancient 'gatherers' have established themselves in this world as a fascinating and diverse people. Over the last 500 years or so, they have become the most populous race on terraxia by a small margin. They also have more religions than any other race, which has lead to isolation and tribalism in some cases. Known as the most effective politicians.

Elves:
Also known as 'Province Elves' to describe the basic and non variant versions of elves. These usually are seen in cities living alongside humans and city dwarves in relative peace. Because of lack of exposure to magic and natural energies, they have a shorter lifespan than wood elves and dark elves but are somewhat hardier too. Agile and quick witted, they make excellent hunters. Thier variants are Dark Elves and Wood Elves.

Dwarves:
Known as 'City Dwarves' to describe the folk who live among other races in large cities. They are few in number but have very established cultures and traditions. Also living shorter lives than their other variants, but enjoy a less rigid lifestyle and are amazing merchants and builders. Their Variants are Chaos Dwarves and Mountain Dwarves.

Demonfolk:
are essentially low powered demons who roam the mortal world, their demon blood is heavily diluted with human and dark elven blood but they have demonic markers such as dark blue/grey skin and red/yellow eyes. Sometimes tails or horns too. They are said to all be the descendent of one demon family who escaped from the underworld , others claim they are just mutant dark elves whose radical appearance can be explained with inbreeding.

@Arianrhod

Hi, I'm so sorry I didn't see this earlier, can we still discuss this world of mine? I'm thinking about making a map and adding more detail to the structure, history and culture of each province.

[Dolerman]

@Arianrhod Would you still be down to assist with this? Sorry for the holiday inactivity.

[Arianrhod]

Yes, I am still available

[Spiffy]

When this becomes a nation rp, hit me up!

[Dolerman]

@Arianrhod

Whats the next step in terms of making a map?

@Dynamo Frokane

Well, let me see it first.

[Dolerman]

@Arianrhod

Show you the area descriptions? They are in the first post.

[Arianrhod]

How large is the land area covered? Are we talking the size of s country (like, say, the size of France) or the size of a continent (like Westeros). That will determine the cause of the different biomes in your world. If it all exists in a temperate zone surrounded by ocean, then Rho will be an inland basin made into a desert through a rain shadow effect. But if we are talking an area the size of a continent, then we could attribute the different biomes to different latitude.

* The metropole (most populous and powerful areas) in your world are going to be the most fertile and resource rich regions that have good communication throughout, whether by the use of rivers or the use of roads. These areas are likely to have a much more stratified social structure based on class, as there will be more for the wealthy to siphon off to enrich themselves.
* More marginal areas, like Rho, are more likely to have more egalitarian societies, as they have to share between classes to survive. If they are very rugged and lack good communication, it is very unlikely that a centralized ruler will pop up (unless they are using magic or a new technology, like airships).
