[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 853620, member: 3649"] Still working on the setting, but here's the basics: [URL=http://webpages.charter.net/wligon/ashara/asharamaps.htm]My Maps[/URL] are changing; the one at the bottom is the one I'm playing with, now. One large 'Roman' empire that is now splitting due to civil war and heading right for a total breakup that will send 'civilization' right into the crapper for the next thousand years or so. The Free Cities are areas that broke away from the Empire about a hundred years ago when it suffered it's first major contraction after a major military defeat (it's first in a long, long time) that also precipitated a slave revolt. The Desert. This is where all the action happens. Raised up about 500-1000 feet about sea level, the center of the continent is a mix of Southwestern-type desert, 'lifeless' Sahara-like desert, and 'cold' Mongolian-style desert (up where it says 'Wasteland'). The area between where the two major mountain ranges (check out that scale and you'll see how major) almost touch is a maze of cracked hills, canyons and wind-sculpted hills. Major rivers converge and fall in a giant waterfall to the forested hills below. I'm thinking that lonely patch of mountain out in the desert is a cluster of volcanoes; thinking about making that the original home of the dwarves. The Vast Plains. Horsemen. A drier Rohan with less rocks. Influences: Conan, and Thieves' World. Other influences as given on the main page. The Empire is Rome, and Ranhke, and Greece, and Aquilonia: a combination of the old, civilized, lawful. Dying, now, but not realizing how quickly. The fringes are revitalizing in some parts, but those parts will probably be destroyed by war. [/QUOTE]
