[QUOTE="Darraketh, post: 250354, member: 847"] [b]Zandafar[/b] This map is "The Lost Isle" after I added it to the world map. And here is a wee bit of a description of the area: [COLOR=sandybrown][b]Zandafar[/b] consists of two tropical islands separated by a shallow strait. The larger island is to the east. On the eastern isle a mountain range rises to great heights from out of the sea. Inland the mountains decrease in height until they are mere hills lost in the densest jungle. Griffons nest among the mountains that shadow the hills. The deep lush jungle is filled with pixies. Northeast a great shallow lagoon is sheltered by an ancient barrier reef that rises above the ocean's surface. Nymphs make their homes by the edge of the lagoon. Wide sandy beaches surround most of this island. The western isle is much younger, the result of geologically recent volcanic activity. Most of the island is rocky, hilly and sparsely covered in vegetation. On the northwestern tip of the island is an area of bad land. Here the soil consists mainly of broken shards of black volcanic glass in which nothing grows. A wide sandy beach borders the strait to the east. The shallow strait is the home of nixies who live beneath the sea's surface. A large, still active, volcano dominates the island. South of the volcano stands the City of Skulls. The City of Skulls is a most gruesome sight to behold. Centuries ago hobgoblins, who have long called the isle home, began to mortar together, in walls, the skulls and bones of their slain enemies. Now the entire city stands a testament to their vicious nature. Outside the city wall lay fields of skulls and bones bleaching beneath the tropical sun. Most of the remains are from nymphs and pixies taken in raids and hunting expeditions to the eastern isle. Nixies have also contributed although they are far more difficult to catch. Rarer are the skulls and bones of other creatures including those of the sahuagin whom the hobgoblins consider their mortal enemy. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
