The Strife of Ostaria | Fire Emblem-based [18+ High Casual]

[Nate]

Blargh... when do we get this show on the road?

[Marlowe]

I'm mostly waiting for the map to be done. I'm on my way home from vacation and will get the OCC up as soon as I can. I will start working on it today.

[Nate]

Ok, welp all I'm waiting for is names and then I'll finalize the map.

[Marlowe]

I'm bad with names. Anyone have any ideas? XD

[Nate]

I got one, let's name the Mountain region Andaria.

[Marlowe]

That sounds cool! Hmmm... I'll think up of a few. Give me time.

[Nate]

You could always use a name generator.

[Marlowe]

Yeah there's one right on the last page. I'm home now so I can work on it harder.

[Marlowe]

Okay, nation name time.

1) Ludra
2) Sariwon
3) Oprad
4) Ashines
5) Andaria

6 and 7 can be unexplored lands. ^^ You know, to add some excitement and all.

[Nate]

Cool, now capitals for those locations XD we can worry about locations of interest at a later date and I'll just mark the project on my computer as WIP.

[Marlowe]

Eh do you want capitals? I'll post the OCC up when the map is done.

[Nate]

Well I marked them on the map. I figured we should at least have names for them, even if they don't get put on the map.

[Marlowe]

Oh so that was what those little castles are. Then sure, I'll find five new names.

And what are good traditional, old fashioned Japanese surnames? I just realized the ones I used for the Houses are modern.

[RainDash]

Uh, I really can't say. Modern could work, or you could add some vowels to European names or something.

[Marlowe]

It's just that I want something better and more traditional and all. ^^

[Nate]

Tokugawa, Motomiya, Hashimoto, Hayashi, Kawaguchi, Kobayashi, Matsumoto, Matsushita, Inoue, Nakano, Nishmura... I could go on but literally all you have to do if you need more is google "Traditional Japanese Surnames" and it's like the first or second link.

What names did you have that weren't traditional enough?

BTW, here is the "completed" map. No capitals but at least the country names are on there. If we want anything else we can add it as we go.

[Marlowe]

Also, Nate, I noticed something about your map. There is a lot of land and there isn't enough water. The ratio between land and water is too large... so if you could fix it, that would be great. ^^;

[Nate]

Do you want more lakes or...?

[Marlowe]

Yeah, more lakes and large rivers and all. It just looks very... dry.

[Nate]

Well shit... I finished it, but imgur is down so I can't upload it. I added some major rivers and lakes and remade some of the boarders to more accurately represent how they would actually mark their boarders, like along rivers.

Edit: It's back! Here is the mountainless map, and here is the detailed map.
