Further, it's a couple thousand miles away from the nearest area I have written about at length.  Consider for a moment how many different countries cultures there are on earth and you can see that sharing the globe still allows for things to be radically different.Here are some physical constants of this planet as a whole:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Carthasana has three moons.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Carthasana has rings (like Saturn), and at this latitude they are very prominent from the ground, appearing as a gleaming white band at dusk or dawn.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Carthasana has two suns.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The southernmost tip of this area is just north of the North Tropic line.  This means the islands should have weather consistent with the Carribean and Florida.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Each black dot in the map is 20 miles from its neighbors (to give you a sense of scale).</li> </ul>Three world constants to keep in mind:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Halfling females are winged.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Magic is divided into five types, corresponding to five outer planes and five alignments (instead of the normal nine).</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The highest tech level is mid-bronze age (Minoan / Mycenean - Trojan War Period)</li> </ul>Other than this, it's an open field.  The name the place has on maps elsewhere are what other cultures call this land - not what the natives might call it.Now, This excersize will use the same rules set forth by Mouseferatu in the Eyros thread.I hope this is entertaining, here's the map:[limg]http://www.enworld.org/attachment.php?attachmentid=19090[/limg]And for those interested, here's writings about elsewhere on the globe<a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=120848" target="_blank">http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=120848</a></blockquote>
