[QUOTE="Daztur, post: 5876791, member: 55680"] Yup the icon scaling work beautifully, I didn't notice that before thanks for pointing it out that'll be useful if I redo the map to keep it from getting too busy. As for my laptop I checked it and it still won't reload the hexographer but it works just fine on my desktop (and every other comp I tried it on) so maybe something wonky with my laptop, not a big deal and I'll probably get around to springing for the pay version sooner or later... This is one of my old ones (missed it before) all that's left from the old rpg.net thread is two posts about the pirate kingdoms which I'm saving for last while thinking about how to tie them to hexes. When those two get transferred over in the next day or two I'll start on doing a complete re-org of the compilation into something that looks more like a published hexcrawl book. [b]The Prince of Men[/b] [i]Historical background[/i] The elves of the Kingswood refuse to say much of him and some say they have forgotten nearly all, but the famed historian Sabrek of Ungolath makes the following conjectures: long centuries past the Prince was the heir to the Imperium Undying, which once lay across the Ocean of Bitter Regrets and claimed imperium over all men. However, before he could he could claim the Sun Throne he was betrayed by his beloved sister and his bastard half-brother. He fled in exile to the Shrouded Lands around the Kingswood in order to raise an army in the Imperium's colonies across the ocean. However, the colonists lacked the timber to create a fleet capable of weathering the Prismatic Storms that wrack much of the Sea of Bitter Regrets and the Prince of Men cast his covetous eyes upon the proud trees of the Kingswood. The elves promised him all of the timber his men could haul and much other help besides if he became a signatory of the ancient Seelie Accords that shared out elfish lands between the Seelie and Unseelie elves and returned to the elves the precious Seal of the One King that had been lost beneath the waters of the Mirror Lake (37.01). The Prince was a brave and powerful man and with all of the sorcery of the Sunset Lands to aid him he dove deep into the Mirror Lake, promising to return the Seal of the One King and to become the true Prince of all men. He never surfaced again and many will say that he sleeps under the water still, his dreams bringing visions of what is and what might be to the surface of the lake and that he will rise again one day with the Seal of the One King in his hand and bend all mankind to his will. Hooks: -What did Sabrek get wrong? -Where is Ungolath? -What happened to the Imperium Undying? -Where are the remnants of ancient Imperial colony? -Are the local humans the descendants of these colonists? Did they build Shuttered or are the separate from the local humans? -What are the Prismatic Storms and why would wood from Kingswood trees keep your boat safe from them? -What else do the Seelie Accords specify? Note: the politics of the Imperium Undying (which ruled land far to the west and probably fell long ago) are loosely based on the Incas (I have no set ideas for anything else about its culture at the moment but am inching towards a mash-up of Incas/Egyptians/Imperial China/Imperial Rome). When an Imperator dies his body is preserved within his palace and all of his children and their descendants (except for the new Imperator) get to live there and administer the land conquered by the dead Imperator. Then the new Imperator builds a new palace and conquers more land and when he dies passing on his crown to one of his children and the rest get to keep his palace and his new conquests.
