@Guilty Spark well in my mind all the brown in the north (basically whats inside wild territory) is high plains, so that area is a big sea of grasslands. These things would probably lumber around there to make sure no one is trying to sneak into the territory.

It's super crude, but hey I read maps not make them for my living. Also anyone who wants to fudge the lines a bit is welcome to if they want to make it nicer of had some overlap. The white is basically the tundra line all of it north being snow and ice and well tundra. Light green is modern wilds territory. Dark green is the original kinglessland. The gray circle is the are where I'll be putting Haven Grove and most of the major settlements.

@Dead Cruiser ah that'd explain it never was too big into conan. As I said my fantasy background is D&D where you almost always find a cleric and sorceress on your side while there seems to be a nercomancer every other week.

It is a solid thought, but a think a little compromise can be made here. I'd be willing to drop all the animals as now extinct, and the only remaining mega fauna is Teloceras en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teleoceras . Yes it is a kind of rhino, but it has the tiniest little horn ever, it's smaller than the previous examples, and when comparing it to the boars we managed to tame I think it is comparable. It keeps the kind of idea of the old ways dying and all that's left is this fat lazy unintimidating thing that's supposedly a rhino.

Might be a good analogy to how the wildkin have become a bit lax. I mean they joined with the southern nations, the same ones Mark spent 350~ years fighting to keep the wilds strong and free as well as nature pure. Mark has some choice words for them on that matter.

Note this is if other fantastic options aren't viable.

EDIT:

@Guilty Spark

Alright so I think I've been thinking a little small now. All in favor of two Wildkin forts pulled by one of those each say Aye.

Aye.

@Dead Cruiser I'll be honest I have no clue what howardian means

I still would prefer to not have generic oxen and such. I want something distinct for the hardy wildkin an animal that matches their tenacity and unusual nature. If new animals are needed overall fine, but since this idea seems largely disliked could I get some help coming up with some? Considering the core of the Wilds is its natural bounty the flora and fauna are very important to me to get right.

@Guilty Spark I was more looking at how domestication actually works with the number of years. with 40,000 years since the founding they would have 8,000 generations of animals to work with. Find the most docile one and start breeding them.

The other point I feel is valid, but coming from a background of D&D where prehistoric animals are actually a frequent monster I like using them. If I had the time I'd probably make original ones, but at the same time they'd likely be similar to these. I wanted a distinctly big and bulky animal for the wilds to use as their main cattle, and while looking through cryptid reports I was reminded of the wooly rhino. Considering the wilds are the northern most nation they'd have animals similar to this. I figured why not use them.

Also I'm starting to notice a big difference in how fantastic I've been seeing this world. I've been imagining magic to be at least semi frequent (the wilds likely having a solid number of druids throughout its history). Why can't that magic be used here? Need be I could go back to when mark is around and have a myth of him helping to tame the rhinos to feed the people when he isn't there.

@DeltaV a magical fantasy world medieval era. You give a society 40000 years either way and I dont see why they couldn't.

If that's the consensus then ill give in of course, but i think it's fitting.

Putting together some fauna for the wilds. Looking at prehistoric mammals largely. After all this is a magical world they fit in rather well. Any suggestions?

Also I hope I can do at least 1 day (two would be nice) of IC stuff without messing up any plans. I wanna do a feast kind of thing, and for that Mark is going hunting. I can make it happen in one day, but if I had 2 then it'd be more reasonable for the characters.

EDIT: also finally got the wilds marked on the map. will upload soon.

So I'll probably be last one to post this time since it's finals week, and my mind is a bit scattered by that now. I pretty much know what I'm gonna do and have some fluff ready about the culture and all that, but finals come first.
