(Announcement) Help me organize all of the LEW world information!

The 'Slaying the Dreamer' adventure is taking place in a far, far off place called Ushad...

Location: Ushad (appr. 850 miles south, south-west of the Red Dragon Inn)

Also, the Forest of Ar is located nearby in some as yet unspecified locale.

 

[Uriel]

So far, my adventures have put forest just south and east of Orussus, with hills and vinyards interspersed about them.

Somewhere between the kingdom that holds the County of Lionel (is that what a Count governs?) and the Barony of Owir (from Fant's background) and the nation of Thelis (from Persephone's background) is barbarian country. At least two tribes the Barav Kree and the Kurik Kree range these lands. What sort of land is it? Whatever it needs to be to fit. Though if it's mountainous, I should probably shuffle around some of Rainca's skill assignments.

Scanning the characters there should also be:

- GnomeWorks already chimed in with Lathirn for Troi
- a city called Ravensdale in an indeterminate location, probably a good-sized trade city along one or two major routes or several smaller ones. (see Dungannon's PC Devlin)
- Uriel's PC Silvercat lives in previously mentioned Rivenblight
- an archipelago of tropical islands called Hawaiki (see Tonguez's PC Tamatea)
- a city in Medabaria called Tharol (see Manzanita's PC Ignatious O'Reilly)
- a tropical region to the south known as the Riverlands. I'm guessing lots of rivers. And tropics. The people there show their rank with face tattoos. (see Mithreander's PC Quickwhip)
- a place called Ithyria (see Inez Hull's PC Borlund Gracie)
- a land of barbarian elves to the north (see Erekose13's PC ao'Thuir)
- Monemvassia, a kingdom in Thelis. The land of Thelis has a peninsula in north and west called Pelepenisia. (see Manzanita's PC Persephone)
- dpdx chimed in for Rurik's mountain range
- we might try to come up with a region that sounds Italian, we have several characters with that flavor to their names.
- we might also try to come up with a region that sounds French, we have several characters with that flavor to their names.

Ok,- dpdx, you're not exasperating me,LOL...everyone will see the map, eventually..
That Mountain range will be there.
Jack, that puts Ushad nearly in-between the Wind Tower and the Negative Tower, in what I have called The Badlands (a name for mapping purposes).A long way from anything else so far. Is Ushad a city, a territory...?
Uriel, cool, these forests- do they have a name?

 

[WizWrm]

Er, not to be "snarky," as KB so eloquently put it, but...

I was the creator of both Tharol and Medibaria. (I located them in my post above) Tharol is supposed to be a fairly small, isolated community, not really a city (it's described here, right after the official posts end) where Velbrik was born, whereas Medibaria is a declining kingdom (described in the same link) which I alluded to in a story Velbrik told in the Red Dragon Inn. Tharol is not a part of Medibaria.

 

[Scorpio]

Thanks, Sparky,
About where is Ithyria? And the Barbarian place, is it called ao'Thuir?

I'll keep jamming these things on the map, and then we'll unveil it and let the 'sparks' fly,LOL.....

 

[Sparky]

Sorry WizWrm, I didn't know this was more detailed elsewhere. I'm not meaning to step on any toes/misinform Scorpio, but rather get as many people's backgrounds included as possible.

To any others' whose information I've mistated or left out - I'm sorry, please chime in!

Scorpio, I have no idea where Ithyria is. This is what I got from Borlund Gracie's background... Ithyria was ravaged by a plague, the Grim Cackle. I'm thinking, since the plague didn't reach other cities (it appears in no other backgrounds), that the citizens were very good at keeping quarantine or it is pretty remote. It may or may not have a significant library, or at least one private citizen with a significant library. (And your work it stunning, by the way.)

 

[WizWrm]

Nonono, you're doing a good job. Thanks for taking the initiative and covering everyone's background who hasn't responded. I just want an accurate map as much as you do.

And Scorpio, your maps look really amazing! I'll add my voice to thank you for helping the LEW community with this project.

 

[Scorpio]

Thanks folks, I appreciate the kind words. If you all keep feeding me bits and pieces of info, in a few days I suspect I can put together a preliminary worthy of public view, and then we can move things around. If there are any specific threads I should see, let me know. I'm trying to look through it all, but I may miss something.
This is a very cool project, so it is my pleasure.
Cheers!

Ushad is a country.
