Description
"Persephoneia is composed mostly of hilly terrain and high mountains, though highland plains can be found throughout the landscape. The soil on the plains is not particularly fertile, but the crops that do grow there are hardy and resistant to the kingdom's often unpredictable weather. The hills are often used as grazing ground where they are cleared, but much alpine forest still remains in the higher hills at the bases of the mountains and on the mountains themselves."A map of the Holy Empire of Persephoneia for the RP group

No problem! Um... I'm not quite sure where exactly you mean, but... Why don't you download the map, draw a dot where you want it, and then note it back to me? Then I'll know exactly where you want the village.

Do you think you could add the Zephyr village for my character? It's northeast of the Marshlands...

Ika! Sorry to bother again but Ato's net is on the fritz and we finally found Xanthi's origin's in Persy too. I was wondering if you could mark an area for us on your lovely, lovely map again? *forgot how you mapped Ghaent's birth home last time*

Sure thing! I love adding stuff to this map. XD What should I put, and where? Oh, you can also just... send me a screen of the map with a dot on it and a label or something. XD

Heya again Ika! Here's a photobucket [link] with the little cyan dot of the home for Ato's Xanthi. You can label it 'Chateau Barille' though we were wondering if you could put in parenthesis in the comments 'ancestral home of one Xanthi Evelyn' if it's not too much trouble. And I promise, any time you ask, I shall explain the convoluted story!
Again, many thanks!
(I really should locate your replies to past comments first before attending to this, but - all for Ato! xp)

Shhhh... >_>
lol No, actually it's just slightly Greek-inspired. Believe it or not, I didn't pick the name for Cydonia to the south. Haha!

Hm, I'm not too great at economics... What do you mean?

Why place the castle there? Are the mountains encircling the area covered with defensive works? Is the lake area especially fertile? Do they have important mines that make importing lots of food feasible?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah! I see. Yes, the mountains surrounding the valley provide defense, and the only pass is walled off with a defensive wall and a fort. The lake area is indeed fertile, and the land outside the city walls is used for farming and agriculture that supports the city. The river flowing from the lake passes through a trading town and a port town lower down, and is used for commerce. There are no mines in those particular mountains though~

Where does the Holy come in?

Persephoneia is a theocracy with a strong military. The world's religion is based there, with the "pope" figure being the main ruler of Persephoneia. The main cathedral, much like Saint Peter's Basilica, is also located there~

TROLOLOL I just notices the "Ikarian Seak" lmfao
You rock, sam XD

Hehe, well it's a real sea in Greece, so. XD

Yup! Named after Icarus, because it's the area where he supposedly fell and drowned. XD

ololol Make me wonder if they named something after Daedalus... and it kinda reminds me of that Hercules series by Disney xD

Oh god, thats amazing and a great idea (yQAQ)y
We should do something like this for every kingdom
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you! Yeah, member have been asking if the other kingdoms will have them too. You should start one for Eisenberg!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Then I'll attempt at drawing one too u v u
Although, i dont think it will be nearly as osm as yours xD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah psh. I'm sure it'll be fine~ I think what added to mine was... layers and textures. Yes, very important. lol I switched back and forth from SAI to draw stuff and Photoshop for textures, effects, and messing with colors.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I never used textures whatsoever D::::: lol
I shall look around for tutorial and textures, wish me luck, as i will most likely fail u v u lool
Ty so much for the motivation and help ;A; <3
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
No prob! You can do it! -cheers-
No pressure. If you don't like what you end up with, TK and I were discussing the possibility of my making an entire set for all of the kingdoms. That'd be quite the challenge though, as I'd need to get rough drafts from all the leaders anyway. XD

EPIC, its like what you would see in a game! I totally want to see moar

I'm planning on making another one of the area around Castle Town for more detail, since there are a couple spots in there that have names but are too small on this map to label! lol
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
That would be very good in my fantasy world as well...
very nice map. Very. Many DM would jealouse you now. XD

Thanks! I've never mad a map before, but it was lots of fun - if a little tedious.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
To be honest, its... like official D&D ones in books or the mags! Pro quite!

Oh wow, thanks! It took me forever to get the mountains right... the first attempt looked like some sort of sumi-e painting, honestly. lol

Wow Ikarus, this is great~
Cool prop and all those mountains make me want to visit it <3 It looks like a very cool place to adventure in~
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Hehe, thanks! I was going to put even more mountains or cover the blank areas with hills like they actually are, but... I got tired of drawing those little things. OTL
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Hahah... You just gave me SEVERAL choices on where the von Todmorder estate is located! I say all the time that Ghaent's family is from a manor house estate in the 'eastern mountains' of Persephoneia, but now - HOW CAN YOU FORCE ME TO CHOOSE WHICH MOUNTAINS TO BE NEAR??? XDDDD Well, you may not yet have a drawing of Persy the capital, but you DO happen to have a map of the REGION! Lovely work you've done here! *
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you~ But yes! Go ahead and choose where you'd like it, and let me know so I can add it to the map. XD I can even put... more mountains in that blank spot in the east. lol I pretty much just left some space open so we could add things if anyone wanted something in particular.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh awesome. XDDDD I just compared the map to this (sorta old) unfinished pic I have of Ghaent's home. If you could add a few more eastern mountains, would be great! I DL'd your map and put a tiny blue ex to mark the spot. The estate's about half-way up a mountain. [link]
Thanks again~!!!
I swear, we NEED more maps!! XDD

Thankies~!!! Now Ghaent has a birthplace!

lol Mappy... you can download it an make a version with little dotted lines where Prue travels. XDD And then... use it as a prop in RP, I don't know. lmao
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
......... but you would see nothing but dotted lines then...

xD She totally has a copy of this and keeps it with her always.

will we be getting detailed maps for all the kingdoms?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oooh, that'd be great! Unfortunately I don't know the layout of any of the other kingdoms, so one of the rulers of each kingdom would have to make their map.
