The map is 5200 miles wide and 4200 miles high, so you're looking at an area about the size of the continental US and lower Canada.The Madasrian Islands are one lovely, lovely area for a campaign based on the map alone. Believe or not, I haven't written anything about this area - it's just a name (and if someone was to do a writeup and want to change the name, I'm ok with that.  The same applies to the Shadow Vale to it's north.  The Blood Sea is a desert noted for it's deep red sands - hence the name and to the south (off the map) I had envisioned an Egyptian like culture.Cirondas is orc country, though how civilized - again I haven't given it much thought.  But if you follow the river following out of Cirondas you'll see a staggering change of altitude shift - that's the site of the Grisandiel cliff - a one mile high sheer cliff running uninterrupted several miles to either side of Cuane's Veil - a waterfall which plunges over the precipe into Mystal Lake below (not show at this scale).The Padriac Plateau is, according to my notes, a land of Giants.The Great Kolandrian Swamp is - well - a swamp.  Again, I've not put much into this as for 10 years I figured folks would want to expand on it, if only for a sentance or two.The Estarian Empire has some writeup which appears earlier in the thread.Osherin forest is a home to the Oyasi - A land of staggeringly tall trees fed by annual monsoons from the south.Telmandy and Armandy are rival countries to Dalsundria - not much explored about them. The Calishmere is an elven domain, though in it's extreme east lies Sirrom - though I'm pretty sure I'm going to cut him from the next version of the setting - the ultimate evil guy motiff has been done to death.</blockquote>
