This is a map I made for a D&D game I play in featuring the world setting, Elysia. If I recall the lore correctly for the setting, Elysia was something of a prototype, one that was left unfinished in the end. Like a game that never actually left Beta testing and was released as is (like most modern day AAA games amirite).
The map is highly inspired by a map found in Dover Castle that is a recreation of an older, 12th century map. The Angels that adorn mine are based on those found in D&D, including Deva and Planetars.
The monsters on the map are, likewise, based on those found on that same map. Though with a bit of a slant for the game.
I plan to use this same map frame for other things as well. Maybe for the Eberron or Faerun maps.
Great work on the map! I find the orientation of the cardinal directions very interesting. My first thought was that is how 12th century maps used them, but I couldn’t find any with the cardinal directions on them. What caused you to rotate them like that?
That is unbelievably beautiful! Would love to see this and anything else you make over on !worldbuilding@lemmy.ml if you ever wanted to post there.
I think I will! Thanks!
