Possible Map and RP
Posted: Mon Dec 16, 2013 5:35 pm
In Osiris's treaty with Albion there is a clause that places both within the same RP universe. As such I thought I would do a Map that directly ties into Albion's RPs and so on.
The premise of both maps would be that you claim a 'fief' within the greater Kingdom of Osiris. Everything in the map is ruled by the Pharaoh, not that should stop you from being a kingdom or whatever. If there is interest, I'll add in a capital city and its hinterland that can be neutral territory and the location of the Government buildings of the region and so on.
It is past tech. Albion's is broadly European medieval but that could easily tie in with the Ancient Egypt theme and there need not be any clashes with tech on that account. Magic exists in the world. In the Albion version the mountain and forest areas are more magical than the more lush and populated lowlands. Given there is limited forest in this map and it is mostly desert then there probably need not be that distinction.
The RP is run without a GM or any storyline. It is basically a sandbox world for you to create characters and interact with each other. To explore the land, go on quests of your own invention or whatever you want. For Albion's I've divided it into regions, each with its own Lord Warden in charge of it to try and be regional GMs but we needn't go down that course. I don't have time to RP personally so all I do in that version is update the maps when I can and try and ensure that it is a coherent world overall, answering any general queries and so on about what is acceptable etc.
Given that both regions occupy the same RP world then that opens up enormous cultural potential with possibilities for trading, joint exploration, border wars, RP state visits by the Heads of States and state visits between fiefs of the regions. The possibilities are endless. Balder is also in the same RP world by treaty with Albion, though I've not done a map for there at all yet, so there would be similar possibilities with the Northern Vikings on that front.
Without further ado, the map:
It is exactly south of Albion's map and the exact same scale so for reference:
If there is interest in going ahead with this then I will tidy up what it is still a comparatively rough map. I'll also do things such as elevation maps, land use maps, temperature maps and so on so people get a firm idea of the world their characters inhabit.
For reference here are the Albion versions:
I don't pre-draw borders to claim on the Albion. Instead I put a grid over the top and then people can claim around 4 squares. Each square is around 25 miles across. I find doing it this way means people can customise their borders just how they want them rather than trying to pre-guess their desires on a complex topography. Here is the most recent grid version of Albion's so you can get an idea of what I mean:
As I've said before, I don't really RP much but I'd be happy to act as cartographer for this and then the Government can use it as they want should they wish.

A not quite perfect match up of the two maps together so you can see how they fit in:
