Description Here is a map of the world where my novel "orescent" sets in. I didn't put the rivers / forests / mountains, only the capitals and the name of the more important countries.

I can give you some informations, sorry if my english is not perfect :

This world is divided into three major continents named Inferia, Incer and Meria.

The first one is also the biggest: it is a huge country unified and led by three princes. Because of this vastness, we can find many languages and various practices – concerning the food, the clothes, the architecture and so on. Even if there is a political unity, Inferia therefore offers a huge range of resources in many ways, and remains one of the most important monarchies of this world.

The three Princes :

Incer is a continent divided into very numerous countries. There is no unity between them: each country is ruled by its own government (monarchy, republic, princedom…) and has its own customs. Sometimes, this different countries fight together to expand their domination. Indeed, different countries mean different resources: we can find rich or poor country, stable and powerful countries, or countries in decadence. Among them, we can find Arkhadia, an ancient monarchy, now stuck in the dreams of its glorious past… And the Skyrie, Arkhadia's main rival, a kingdom weakened by years of famine and disastrous compaigns.

The daughter of the arkhadian king :
The young king of Skyrie :

Meria could be defined as a geographic pole. Because of the harsh temperatures, it is difficult to expand human settlements. The country is mostly composed of free and independent cities, which trade between them by extracting the important mineral resources of the territory. There are also two princedoms known to be important thalassocracies. Ores and their exportation are the main wealth of the continent, which is dependent on imports to feed its population.

Finally, the South, "Endler", is composed of thousands of small islands which provide shelter to expatriates or individuals persecuted by justice. Each independent island elects a representative to sit on the grand council, which speaks with one voice on behalf of their common interests. In fact, despite their great diversity and their territorial fragmentation, these islands have managed to become an essential force, able to resist to other powers.

the "Îles Valafars" (Valafars Islands) are an important archipelago. Because of their strategic position between the two main continents, they arouse the ambition of other countries. These islands are known to be powerful thalassocraties, with a seafaring nation.

I hope it was interesting don't hesitate if you have any question ^^

Interesting indeed. Like to see that you've come up with a world and have all these kingdoms/realms and people already in place. How long have you been busy with this idea if I might ask? I mean your whole world/stories etc.

Thanks a lot for your comment, I'm glad if it was interesting ! I began to work on this story eight years ago . Since the first book is finished now, I'm working on the second one and I have other projects in mind for this same universe so I think I'll still be busy with this world in a few years
