[QUOTE="DarkDagger, post: 4646385, member: 82217"] wow, Nyeshet do you want to dm this campaign and i will be a player! thank you very much Nyeshet for the help so far and anymore you can give. you have some great ideas that i would have never even thought of as for how the continent looks i have drawn up a few maps. the map im leaning towards is about 1600 miles north to south and 1950 miles east to west. the continent lays between 10 degrees and 30 degrees north (if i did my math right). there are mountain ranges that run east to west and are mainly in the north. the lake is located in the northwest and feeds a river that runs the length of the continent. i am thinking about adding another lake it would be along the same latitude as the other lake but be about 500 miles away. the river is mostly underground but appears randomly over land and finally surfaces about 100 miles from the coast. the river spilts into three near the middle of the continent and empties to the south southwest, south, and southeast. the best farm land is in the southeast where the mountain range ends and a peninsula starts, also where one of the rivers empties. all the sandy desert is in the northwest. the south is mainly of a Mojave type desert (with less brush then in the pictures i have seen of it) with an occational sand dune. to the north of the mountain ranges is the savanna type desert... I hope this gives a good mental picture (i dont have a scanner) i love your idea for the dragonborn, dwarves, and elves. i will also be using some of your ideas for the humans and halflings. i think i will be using pretty much what you described but with a few changes as for the warming and the lose of spice this is what i was thinking, and please give some feedback on this. so the "spice" is going to be made by a living god. and that living god is going to be a giant worm like in the dune novels but since im making it a god there is only one and not many. a powerful evil elven wizard/druid was getting greedy and wanted more spice but there wasnt enough. he thought that if there was more desert there would be more spice. so he made a spell and with the strength of his god (the worm) he warmed the land and expanded the deserts. but the spell was so powerful it killed the wizard/druid and greatly weakend the worm so much it went into hibernation. while in hibernation the worm still moved around but produced a different spice. with the old spice gone many elves died and some tried this "new spice." when the worm woke up the "new spice" disappeared and some of the ones that died awoke as the eladrin and the some of the ones who had the new spice turned into the tiefling. some of the gods that were not happy with this change to the land tried to fix it and change it back but the best they could do was the snow fall every ten years.
