ChapotraphouseThe lack of internal divisions for the Other Places really drives the point
The desert country is a barren void except for the wealthy port city ruled by a peaceful but “untrustworthy” guy who only speaks through his assistants
Is this all fantasy maps or just the fantasy maps made by westerners?
I'd genuinely be interested in what this trope looks like from the other perspective. I guess Dune flips this around pretty much?
Ken Liu’s map for the first book of his “silkpunk” series that’s a fantasy adaptation of the Chu-Han contention: https://kenliu.name/binary/Dara_Map_final.jpg
I am a Westerner with a different map.
The one that is defacto for all my stories has a big beautiful communist society to the north west separated by a mountain range from the exploitative kingdom-but-actually-"leaders of industry" to the east. They are flanked by an archipelago with a world capital bazaar south east, a true kingdom that's overthrown into a Republic to the south west. Then you have another continent to true south east of the map that's proto late stage communist that barely has a state.
Mostly the kingdom causes problems, but they each have had their historical quirks.
(Yeah it's by an American illustrator, I was just looking for a cool map)
you forgot the fragmented islands area named like magic land or something so obviously SEA
"The misty isles"
Where is glorious Nippon?!
It's to the far East, not depicted on any maps so it remains a mythical isolated hermit kingdom.
surrounded by a storm that could possibly be divine in nature
the protagonist spend an entire book going through this storm to learn how to defeat the true evil behind antagnia
The correct answer.
dense inhospitable unexplored (but full of mystery and dinosaurs ooooo!) jungles to the south of sultanland
gecland, were 100 Gecs come from
I forget who was doing it but I'll never forget that one hexbear poster who was posting one Gex per day until they reached 100 Gex and then disappeared at like 90 something Gex right before they finished the bit 😭
I hope they're doing well up there in poster Valhalla
Don't let the Vault Dweller find out about it!
Vault 8 iirc
I hate warhammer fantasy so much
Warhammer ups the ante by having three antagonias! There's not-scandinavia, there's the north and south poles and there's not-America (North)
Well don't I feel called out lol.
