[QUOTE="Knightfall, post: 7990773, member: 2012"] [B]Copied over from KWJ![/B] Here is brand new hex map of the cold desert known as the Cold Barrens. I’ve been working on this one for several weeks. This is the start of revising my hex maps for the Lands of Harqual. While I was somewhat happy with how the overview map for the Eastern Shores came out, I soon came to regret overdoing the ‘unique’ icon colors on the map. Plus the border colors got in the way of the map’s design. Thus, the new maps won’t have as many icons with unique colors and I’m not going to even try to add political lines or details on the maps. Each hex on this map equals 24 miles. That will now be the standard for maps at this level of detail. I will likely do maps of key areas at 8 miles per hex, but that won’t be for a while. [URL='https://kulanworldjournal.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/cold-barrens-larger.jpg']Link to full-sized image on WordPress[/URL] [B]Description[/B] This region came out my need to map out the entire Greystone Mountain Range. The Archbishopric of Coldstone is the dominant political force in this region. It is a feudal theocracy dedicated to Hades; however, other churches aren’t restricted (too much) from being allowed to “gather the faithful” within the Archbishopic. Yet, most of these other churches are forced to set up their chuches outside of the city-state of Coldstone, which acts as the theocratic capital of the Church of Hades. However, the other churches of the North Gods don’t have to abide by this restriction. In fact, one could say the Archbishopic is a theocracy dedicated to all the North Gods but with Hades as the controlling force in the region. The ruler of Coldstone is Archbishop Dagmar Frosthall [LN male high dwarf (high), cleric of Hades]. He is fairly unusual for a dwarf. He is devoted completely to Hades and has little patience for the “prattling thanes of the Kingdom of the Greystones.” Beyond the Archbishopic, this region is dominated by the Township of Kimsbridge, the Giant Steadings of Muirmaer, and the barbarian tribes of the Cold Barrens. Kimsbridge is a tentative ally of Coldstone. This alliance is only a trade alliance so the town isn’t actually under Coldstone’s protection. This is how the town’s current ruler, Leanora Tobbish [N female human Drd7 (the Daghdha)], prefers it to remain as she doesn’t completely trust Dagmar Frosthall. She has made a secret non-aggression pact with the giants of Muirmaer and hopes to make the alliance a permanent protection alliance in the not to distant future. If the Archbishop found out, it would be bad for the citizens of Kimsbridge as he hates giants, all giants. He would see her alliance with Muirmaer as a betrayal of the North Gods. The barbarians of the Cold Barrens can trace their lineage back to the time when the North Gods lived amongst the tribes of the Northlands. Their ancestor tribes were never favored, however. Many of them were followers of Xuar before he betrayed the pantheon. Therefore, they were forced to leave the protection of the North Gods and live in the wastes of the Cold Barrens. This has made the current tribes a bit bitter. They tend towards the evil side of chaos and neutrality, but they are never followers of the Sword Gods. (Xuar betrayed them too, after all.) They prefer to worship Konkresh and Uller but the worst of them worship Gruumsh and Vaprak. The dead deity known as Zell is the closest many of them have to a “North God” patron deity. Zell was a Sword God who “saw the light” and joined the North Gods. He was the God of Struggling and Ardor, which is something the tribes of the Cold Barrens often take to heart. [/QUOTE]
