Fantasy Geography

[Tinker Gnome]

Undersea D&D; sunken galleons, vast interconnected reefs, kelp forests, seaweed swamps, urchin barrens, brittle star brambles, sea grass fields, giant anemone forests, hydrothermal vents (black smokers), cold seeps (undersea lakes)...what's not to like?

I dont like underwater games.

After seeing a special on the Qum'ran (spelling ?), the isolationist-extremist Jewish community located outside of Jerusalem in ancient days, I have really, REALLY had a thing for buildings built over and on rivers, straddling them, with waterfalls and the like. Also, Fallingwater, for those North American architecture buffs. These are things that seemed to capture my imagination when I think of a personal fantasy setting.

I don't have a single kind of geography that I use more fantastically. In fact, my geography tends to pretty mundane in general - but there are plenty of exceptions.

Everything from the colossal 150-mile-long-1-mile-high waterfall, to the small secluded glen that just fills everyone with peace. I've found any geography can be wonderous, marvellous, and magical - all it takes is a little bit of description.

I like the Hornsaw, the Blood Bayou, the Blood Sea, and oh yeah, the Blood Steppes!

Urbis has:

- An elemental storm that has been ravaging the surface of a region for many centuries.

- A forest made out of living crystal that's slowly "converting" the surrounding countryside.

- A permanent high-atmospheric wind system with its own ecosystem.

- A mountain range where the stars and planets appear twice as large and bright as they do elsewhere.

I tend to like my fantasy worlds to have realistic geography. It's the things that live there that make it fantastic. Steppes...with hobgoblins. A forest...with a wyvern infestation. A swamp...inhabited by intelligent venemous slugs.

Now and then I have unusual flora, but generally it's the fauna that does it for me.

G'day

Give me volcanic islands fringed with coral reefs; rice paddy, thick jungle; and thunderstorms in the afternoon.

I have a desert called the Phoenix Forest. It was once a forest that was burned by an evil race and now at sunset you can see the image of burning trees. Once players decide to head that way it will just happen to be near the 500 year anniversary of the destruction of the forest.

I like parklands, plains of grassland with dotted with forest but mostly small woods. I also like rolling hills, and those rock out croppings in China.
