[QUOTE="Yaarel, post: 8526430, member: 58172"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Yaarel 2022 - Oerth - Lune Noire Sites.png"]150797[/ATTACH] Allowing for medievalesque spacial distortions and schematization, the above map locates places in the French comic series, Chroniques de la Lune Noire, whose setting spans West Oerik. Remember how vast West Oerik is. Compare in East Oerik: Flanaess is the size of North America. The locations of the Lune Noire setting are far-flung. The giants moreorless inhabit the Nordic forests, which feels appropriate enough. The elves of the Elvanian Forest (Forêt Elfique) are mainly French, relating to the fée (faie) of fate, oracles, and magic words. The dwarves of the east are in the mountains of Iran. I am unsure how dwarves relate to Iranian culture, but Iran has many volcanoes, corresponding the "Scorched" mountains. The dwarves of the south correspond the Pyrenees Mountains between France and Spain. Dwarves are significant in Spanish culture, and tend to be magical, even fey ethereal. The orcs inhabit in Slavic regions, including European Russia. I am unsure how Russians would interpret the concept of orcs living alongside them? Below are the main map from the comic itself for comparison, plus two stylized maps from videogames based on the comic and in collaboration with its creators. The video games are "Black Moon Chronicles: Winds of War", and "World of Lhynn". These are the clearest images I could find from the games.
