Message: <blockquote data-quote="Knightfall" data-source="post: 5423629" data-attributes="member: 2012">No, I haven't thought of a unified history. I've only come up with the information that's on the <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/media-lounge-miscellaneous-geek-stuff/86228-dark-world-maps.html" target="_blank">map thread</a>. Thanks for your ideas.The world has come together out of two goals. The first was to create a "seed world" for a kingdom that was duplicated during a magical conjunction on the continent of <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/d-d-legacy-discussion/77467-kulan-lands-harqual-updated-jul-20-10-a.html" target="_blank">Harqual</a> on my primary v.3.5 world, <a href="http://www.enworld.org/forum/world-kulan/" target="_blank">Kulan</a>. That kingdom, called Javeldos, sit on the edge of the Black Empire of Kiltann region in the far north of Maran (the name of the world and maybe the continent, as well).Note: The name of the duplicated Javeldos kingdom on Harqual is Ahamudia. The citizens of the kingdom had one of several things happen to them during the event. Some were magically duplicated on the other world (i.e. clones), others were transported to the other world, others disappeared from existence, and a select few weren't affected by the event (not duplicated). Javeldos/Ahamudia are based on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karameikos" target="_blank">Karameikos</a> from the D&D setting, Mystara.Chaos ensued on both worlds as a result of this magical event, which is known a The Transformation in the Lands of Harqual on the other world. I'm not sure how much the event will affect all of Dark World, but it has created a significant magical link between the two worlds. (The citizens of Javeldos on Maran and Ahamudia on Kulan are aware of each other.)The second goal was to expand on a one shot adventure that I ran for my friends back in the day. We created a group of "dark heroes." Evil characters in an evil world full of chaos and uncertainty. These characters didn't have any good intentions, but they hoped for a better world where life wasn't a constant threat from death and destruction.That one shot game took place in the lands of the Hyberiae Peninsula, which was originally the name of the Dark World concept. Hyberiae is a very chaotic and decadent area with power hungry arcanists that refer to themselves as Warlocks and a powerful beholder only known as The Orb. The peninsula's map, on the map thread, has a short overview description.The world grew out of that map. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
