Here we go. Created a link to a Discord server for Roleplaying Discussion.

I'm coming to realize that half the problem with creating a world map is deciding on strategy: do we want a realistic map, fun map, or both? Do we need the entire thing all at once, or can we draw it as we go? Should I spend any money on this endeavor? So there's some decisions to make before I can truly begin.

I located a few maps for inspiration.

This dude made a spectacular map on Inkarnate.
This tutorial has some good pointers.
Also saved several Azgaar maps that looked interesting, though I'd have to upload those to Google Drive to show them off. A Discord screen share would be easier.

Another challenge is deciding what to do with the lore currently established. Since we're early into the game, I could probably get away with reworking chunks of it, but I'd rather not if I can avoid it.

Completed a prototype map on Inkarnate. Critique would be appreciated.

Anybody down for a Discord chat? I still cannot map for the life of me. I'm learning, but the going is slow.

The map has lots of problems with it. I may need to rework the whole thing. -_-

Working map of Aion
Azgaar's Fantasy Map Generator to open it with

Much of the above map is auto-generated. The names, national emblems, naval units, some of the military units, and one city are custom.

I should probably get to work on that world map so y'all can form a strategy...

@Dark Cloud I just had an idea. What if Dexter's upgrade is an evolution to a better body?

"Chatak not know." Chatak said. "Captain might be dead. If no, feel bad for gobs. If yes... Still feel bad for gobs. They have bad time soon."

"He might be dead? Oh no! Good ri- I mean, that's terrible! Anyway, what do you mean about the gobs having a bad time soon? They look like they're having a grand ol' time picking through the- hey, stop that! That's my grandma's pocketwatch! That's very expensive, you know! She got it way back in 355 NC when she went on a business trip to Conterre and had a little ha-ha-you-know-what with grandpa-"

Just then, the sound of an explosion rumbled through the city. Then another, and then another.

["Well, they certainly got to work quickly..."] Chatak mumbled.
"Hm? What's up?"
"Guardman, you hear boom? That Chatak friends. We wait now, they be here soon."
"Boom? What boom?"

Another explosion ripped through the city wall nearby and left their ears ringing.

"Ah. That boom." He chuckled nervously and scratched his cheek - not realizing he could only do so because his hands were free. "Should we wait for them to untie us, or do you have a plan for that?"

The revenant was the last to remain within the entrance chamber of the tower, the hulking knight silently bearing his baleful gaze upon the so called "Witch." "WE SEE TRUE NATURE..." The knight took a rigid step forward, slow and deliberate without taking its eyes off the masked woman. "YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM IT..." It continued to lumber forward slowly as though the creature was stalking prey. "MASKS WILL NOT SAVE YOU."

In the blink of an eye though, Mai appeared in front of the knight, her silver eyes glaring like red hot daggers. She drew her massive blade and pointed it straight at the knight, ready to cleave him in two with one fell swing. "The mask might not. I however can, and will." She said, her normally soft voice was threatening. "Choose your next move wisely, or your head will be another trophy for My Lady's new empire."

The Witch motioned for Mai to stand down. "I recall you promising to wait for my instruction."

Almost instantly Mai sheathed her blade and stood beside her Lady again, "I apologize Mistress. I however won't stand to have one insult you in such a matter. Forgive me though for my foolishness." She bowed before her lady before resuming her stance beside her. However, she was still on guard, ready to act on a moments notice.

The Witch patted her on the back and moved to stand in front of Jared. She touched her fingers to the edges of the mask, waited for its latches to disconnect, and removed it. Her silver hair flowed freely down her shoulders, and her moist, scarlet lips parted slightly into a half-smile. "I am not hiding, mister knight. Look upon my face and remember it. My body is the trophy of my victory over the darkness, and I would be remiss if I did not share it with another. Do you like what you see?"

'I do, that's for sure.' Jared thought as he watched all this unfold like he were spectating. The revenant, however, had none of it. As it was a creature of the Void, it had little interest in women. "SEE LIES," said the revenant. "SEE A VOID."

"Tch." The Witch replaced her mask and folded her arms. "It seems I haven't communicated clearly enough, as that fine gentleman suggested earlier. I ate your kind to become the creature I am now. I feasted on its soul, devouring it drop by drop over three hundred years until its spirit became mine. Do you understand? You are food. Nothing. Void. And to the void you shall return if my Baneblade find your neck. Count yourself lucky, creature, that you have found a human host, for I have no wish to cut down the living with the dead. See no harm comes to him, for in the day you consume his flesh, your soul is mine for the taking."

With that, she turned on her heels and walked away. Jared watched until she vanished inside the tower before returning to join the others.

Not a bad idea.

@Dark Cloud Sure! Wanna hammer it out via PM?
