Frettzo — Roleplayer Guild

Sorry for delaying so much on getting this map 'update' (read: scribble I sent Wrongend to get him up to speed on where shit is) out, but here's the world prior to the Frontier:

White stuff is sea ice, averaged through the year. There'll be more in winter, less in summer, and land ice will be more extensive around those latitudes. Blobs near the citadel are, from north to south, prairie, forest and swamp. Red spot in the southern continent is the Temple of the Book, yellow spot is Aella's retreat.

@Frettzo The Frontier squashes most of the purple grass, and a river. You can reconcile this how you'd like, but it's probably best if the purple grass survives around the oases and the not!Nile river.@Antarctic Termite

Ooh, I was thinking the River would basically be the Nile, with tons of purple grass growing around it when fertile and purple grass making up the entirety of the grass in the northern and western oasis.

Edit: NotNile is unnamed as of now, and it's an extremely easy way to travel through the Frontier... Until civilizations in the Oasis spring up and they regulate whoever passes through heavily.

Level 2 Goddess of Kindness

Aella stretched out, lying on the couch but stopped when she felt her wing hit the ceiling and heard the wood creaking under the force. She yawned and sat up. The cabin was rather small, she realized. She couldn't stretch out fully without her wings knocking someone over of punching a hole through a window. Why was she even spending her time inside the small building? She'd built it for mortals, not for herself.

She sighed and willed herself out of the cabin, suddenly finding herself standing in front of it.

"So you've failed to prevent war and are now lazing around all day long... This isn't how I imagined you'd spend your days, Aella." She said to herself, "What to do..." She muttered as she started floating and drifting away from the cabin. For a moment, she looked toward Pervanon.

"No, not yet... Maybe Gremju's place?" In a split second she found herself looking at the Plains of Madness, with its strange plantlife and growing crystals and dirty-looking water. She saw an imp throw a rock at another and cackle when the other escaped, leaving the spore he was eating behind for the attacker to steal. "Maybe later." She said and flew off.

Some time passed, and she eventually found herself in the middle of a vast expanse of barren land. Nothing in sight for as far as the mortal eye could see. Maybe she could build something here, she thought. She was far enough from Larwen's land that she wouldn't be much of a bother and she certainly was far from the other Gods.

"This'll do."

She knelt on the ground and pressed her hands to the dirt. The earth rumbled and the dirt turned into sand. First beneath her hands, then it spread to cover a large amount of land. The sand eventually formed into dunes, but still Aella kept her position, expanding the Desert around her.

An untold amount of time passed, and when she stood once more, she found herself in the middle of what she'd call The Frontier, A desert so vast that merely walking through it would take years, months if you were speedy. As it was, though, it was a death sentence to attempt to cross it. So she flew and created small and large oasis over the desert, making sure that whoever ventured into the Desert would be likely to find them and restock on supplies to continue their journey. There were four large oasis big enough to sustain entire cities and many more smaller ones to sustain anything from the occassional traveler to small settlements. 

When it was all done and the Frontier was ready, Aella found herself regarding the vast expanse of land. She'd aligned the large oasis to the four cardinal points, with one to the North, East, South and West. She already knew who she wanted to see settling in the Oasis to the West, so with a happy sigh and a roll of her eyes, she set off toward Pervanon.

As she flew, a thought crept into her mind. ... Wasn't the point of me getting out of the cabin to create a bigger home for myself? She groaned and made a mental note to focus more in the future.

Aella creates the Frontier, a large expanse of desert that effectively acts as a natural barrier between Larwen's land and the rest of the continent. Crossing it by land would take the average traveler years - months if they were speedy enough - and likely end in death by dehydration. 

Numerous small oasis are put into the Frontier by Aella to quench the thirst and hunger of the occassional traveler, but due to the sheer size of the Frontier, one can go for hundreds of kilometers without stumbling into one if particularly unlucky.

Four large Oasis were put into the Frontier, each one aligned to a cardinal point. There's one in the north, east, south and west respectively. These are large enough to support cities and are extremely easy to defend in case of a siege, given their inhospitable surroundings. The attacking army would have to endure months of sandstorms, 40-50ºC temperatures and intense sunburns.

Having finished with the Frontier for the time being, Aella sets off toward Pervanon with the intent of getting the first settlers into the huge desert.
