Description

So, I made a wolrdmap for the low tech sci-fy story most of the drawings are set on.
This map represents the world where almost everything in this story happens
It's an elevation map, with the main rivers marked.
The main landmasses there are:

The Southern megacontinent (still unnamed)
Life there is focused around the coasts, as the inland climate is extreme, alternating from scorching hot to bone chilling cold. It is usually dry, until the storm season arrives.
Still though, there are many places inland where live prospers. These are composed mainly of the great rivers, lakes and bogs that have large enough masses of water to generate a more pleasant microclimate. There is also plenty of groundwater that allows some inland settlements.
The South Pole is occupied by an ice sheet, surrounded by a ring of lakes, from which radiate a series of extremely long, wide and slow rivers. These are The Glacial Rivers. They are the highways of the continent, and most of the cities inland are near them. Using the rivers and the Glacial Lake Ring, or southern nexus, ships can cross the continent without sailing the sea. (This map ilustrates it better)
South is populated by a wild variety of peoples: Large expansive empires, kingdoms and federations, city-states, desert and steppe nomads and jungle tribes. To this mixup we have to add the presence of northern colonists, merchants and conquerors, that will forever change the dynamics of this land.

The Northern continent (Azoria)
With a temperate and generally humid climate, this continent has nicer living conditions. An interrupted industrialization due to the lack of resources, overpopulation, wars, epidemics and crop failures convinced the people and leaders of multiple Azorian nations of the necessity of expansion and colonization of new lands, aided by their newly achieved technological edge.

The moon Isles
It’s a long volcanic archipelago that goes from tropical to arctic climates. Cultures also vary greatly between islands, from extremely violent to more or less peaceful. There is a general feel of untrustiness against foreigners. Azorians gave up on colonizing this place because "This people are insane, let's better go South instead. More space, less problems."
