#Fantasy World Map

[morte-a-elle-meme]

Since I’m a normal person and this idea would not leave my head, I spend the whole afternoon making a Shrek’s world map with all the places we see in the full Shrek’s franchise (including Puss in Boots spinoffs)

It's obviously derivative from our world. I tried to make it make sense between what the places look like in the movies and the travelling the characters seems to be doing between each places.

The places Shrek goes to looks like western europe/USA inspired, while Puss in Boots movies and series looks like a mix between Spain, south of US, and Mexico, so I tried to blend all the inspirations.

Feel free to comment of stuff that doesn’t make sense or I might have missed.

Hello everyone! I am a game/dungeon master with a huge, elaborate world in the Dungeons and Dragons multiverse, and this is a map of my world - Atona. I am currently writing a guide to this world and a set of stories so that everyone can start their adventures in it. You can support me on this long and thorny path on my boosty page.

I said I had a map, so here's the map.

Seirína Isle is where Mailo, Ribbon, and Jeriko are from.

It's a small island about the size of irl Puerto Rico.

It's primarily populated by magical beings (beastman, Fairies, mermaids, sirens etc) the main dominant beings are Fae and Sirens.

There are only 3 real cities on the island, primarily used by beastmen and magic using humans.

The Humans bay: Made and used by magicless human, this area is the only area they are allowed to be as they are seen as an invasive species and aren't welcome. They do do trading with the locals but the locals are the only ones going in and out of their city. Any magicless humans who leave the bay are actively hunted down an eliminated.

Trade City: The central hub for islands in habitats to trade goods. It's a flourishing city where mostly magic using humans live. It's a safe haven due to all of them being persecuted and hunted by magicless humans.

Dyrisk: Beastman city basically, a large majority of the beastman population lives here.

The island isn't split up into states it's mostly nameless territories. The Fae control the northeastern part of the island, southeast are the Beastman, southwest the magical humans, and the largest territory(land and sea) is controlled by the Sirens.

Because of the Sirens having the largest territory on the island it was named after them.

The waters around the island is heavily patrolled by the Sirens so they limit the amount of humans who come in.

There are Mermaids that live near the island but they mostly live towards the south because Siren will hunt them. (Sirens are very aggressive)

Hope ya enjoyed this blip

This is not AI art, but rather a map of part of my World of Asdar that I made in Freehand, a vector-based art program. I designed all the coasts and continents that you see above. There's actually quite a lot more of the map not shown. This is just a little part that I work on the most. It is roughly equivalent to Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East.

14. November 2023 Ich durfte mal wieder eine Fantasylandkarte zeichnen, für »Berge des Winters: Flammende Zeichen« von Jaro Zohar.

Davon handelt der High Fantasy Roman, der gerade frisch erschienen ist: Der Dreiklang des Schicksals: Glaube, Magie, Krieg. Über dem idyllischen Korjakengebirge ziehen düstere Wolken auf. Elija, ein junger Priester und zukünftiger Anführer seiner Sippe, soll einen erbarmungslosen Feind aufhalten, der alle Menschen des Gebirges bedroht. Elijas Weg führt ihn in die Wirren eines uralten Konflikts, der die drei Sippen der Berge entzweit hat. Doch nicht nur äußere Feinde bedrohen Elija, sondern auch der Zweifel an seiner eigenen Bestimmung. Währenddessen formt sich eine unerklärliche Magie, geflochten mit den Fäden des Verrats. Die begabte junge Frau Chenka erfährt von einer geheimnisvollen Fehde zwischen den mächtigen Ahnen des Gebirges. Die Kunst der Glyphenbinderei, die sie erlernt, entpuppt sich als Schlüssel in einem gefährlichen Spiel, das alle drei Sippen bedroht. Die Sippen müssen sich vereinen, um der herannahenden Gefahr zu trotzen. Doch Misstrauen und Hass erschweren die Zusammenarbeit. Während Elija verzweifelt versucht, die Pruzzen, eine stolze Kriegergemeinschaft, zu überzeugen, offenbart sich Chenkas wahres Potenzial im Kampf gegen den Feind. In einem epischen Finale vor der belagerten Heimatburg wird deutlich, dass der wahre Feind nicht vor den Mauern steht, sondern in dem jahrhundertealten Konflikt zwischen den mächtigen Ahnen der Sippen. Können Chenka und Elija die Balance zwischen Glaube, Magie und Krieg wahren? 🏔️ ❄️ Link zum Buch auf Amazon: https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0CNCGYFV8

Oz’s Emerald City fluctuates from book to book and author to author, so there’s no real concrete description about the place (is the green color just the result of people wearing green glasses? Is it actually green?).

I came across this drawing by Judy Pike from the 1970s, though, based on descriptions from the book. It’s the most concrete map of the place I could find so far.

Most people think of Oz as being perpetually stuck at the turn of the 20th Century, but I’ve noticed that even in the original books new technologies were present (Tik-Tok, the mecha that guards the Nome King’s kingdom, even stuff like phones and power lines in some of the illustrations). I kind of want to extrapolate on that in my writing.

This is my favorite part of any story smhhh like climate maps? Population maps? Labeled maps? It's my fuckin jam. This isn't gonna be for any actual written story, it's just for a story in my head. The sole author/director/audience all in one ♡

It's gonna have all my favorite things! Twisted moral-less gods, cult themes, cannibalism, ritual sacrifice~

Dungeon Meshi World Map

REGIONS (Descriptions taken from the Adventurer's Bible)

WESTERN CONTINENT

Description: Bears the most scars from the ancient war. It has many monsters and ruined dungeons, and although it's vast, there are surprisingly few habitable areas. Most of the inhabitants are sturdy, short-lived races and demihumans. Elven culture has had a strong influence here. Characters: Kabru and Kuro Places of Note: Utaya Dungeons of Note: The Utaya Dungeon, The Dragon's Lair

NORTHERN CENTRAL CONTINENT

Description: The continent that is home to the largest nation, ruled by the queen of the elves. The term "Western Elves" mostly indicates elves from this region. It's the safest area and life is easy here, but its shrinking population has dangerously weakened it. Characters: Mithrun (and the Canaries) Places of Note: Western Elves's Royal District, Canarie's Headquarters. Dungeons of Note: Central Watchtower

SOUTHERN CENTRAL CONTINENT

Description: The area with the second-largest elf nation. It has more inbound immigration than the Northern Central Continent and a rather disorganized atmosphere. While it's in an alliance with the Northern Central Continent, they really aren't on good terms. Characters: - Places of Note: - Dungeons of Note: -

EASTERN CONTINENT

Description: Home to the largest gnome nation. Once dwarfs and gnomes made up the majority of the inhabitants, but in recent years there has been an influx of short-lived races from the Northern Continent and Eastern Archipelago, and the population is growing rapidly. It's a melting pot where various cultures are jumbled together. Characters: Chilchuck Tims (Kahka Brud), Senshi (Izganda) Places of Note: Magic School, The Island/Melini, Kahka Brud, Izganda, Dozahk, Bonnario, Sadena Dungeons of Note: Island, Brud Dungeon Cluster, Budou Pit, Tower of Night Cries

NORTHERN CONTINENT

Description: A severely cold continent where over half of the land is covered in perpetual snow. The majority of the inhabitants are short-lived races, particularly tall-men, but the population isn't large to begin with. It has been strongly influenced by dwarf culture. Characters: Laios & Falin, Marcille Places of Note: - Dungeons of Note: -

EASTERN ARCHIPELAGO

Description: An area where short-lived races live. As a result of a pact, there has been no interference by long-lived races for a very long time. The effects of the ancient war are slight, and they have almost no trouble with monsters or dungeons, but there's constant strife among humans. Characters: (all from different Islands) Izutsumi, Shuro and his Retainers, Rinsha Fana (Not shown) Places of Note: Island of Wa Dungeons of Note: -

SOUTHERN CONTINENT

Description: Home to the largest dwarf city. Gnome and dwarf nations often build down rather than out, and the innermost layers are extraordinarily deep. War still erupts frequently, and there are never-ending disputes near the borders. Characters: - Places of Note: - Dungeons of Note: -

If you're interested I've found a post on pixiv with the map outlines and some more info (in japanese)

I'll make a post about the dungeon descriptions later but here they are, there's a little more info about Kahka Brud dungeons on my last map post

Did you know you can use AI to make fantasy world maps? I used the /blend function with satellite images, mainly of Europe and parts of Europe. Then I used /imagine with a fairly basic command to make a 'fantasy map.' The results speak for themselves. I have quite a few more. The fact that I haven't posted them doesn't mean they were poorer. There are just too many. Nevertheless, you can still see where real world geography pokes through. The outline of Arabia is obvious in at least two maps and you can see where the Japanese Islands and the Korean Peninsula were the source maps for an eastern coastline. By Midjourney
