Huh...  Never heard of that one...

I'll have to look it up.

So are you just thinking out loud here, or is there something you actually want help on?

A little bit of both...  If I don't actually write something down, I'll forget all my best ideas and never actually get anything done.  This is one place that I can easily access from both home and work.

Also, I'm mediocre at coming up with completely new and original ideas...  but I'm an excellent idea salvage artist.  I  get my best ideas by gleaning inspiration from lots of other people's ideas, mixing them up, and then adding a few new twists.

I don't need help on anything specific, but if anyone's got any neat ideas that might fit in with the setting, I'd be welcome to hear them.

Here's a preliminary map of the setting...  Names are subject to change.

"Mu" would refer to all unexplored lands off the eastern edge of the map, and especially the Far East.

"Lemuria" would refer to all unexplored lands off the southern edge of the map, and especiallt to the jungles of Deepest, Darkest Africa.

Shouldn't it be Hyperboria?

Yes, it should.  If fact, it should be Hyperborea.  But it my world, I don't think it will be...

I kind of like the way Hyperbria rolls off the tongue better than Hyperborea...  Mr. Howard, after all, did one better and contracted it to Hyborea.

For that matter, Prydain doesn't normally end in an "E"...  

I almost forgot about this thread...  Time revive it and get back to work.

I need to make one more change to the general geography, before focusing on specific regions.  The area I've got listed as "Temahu & Tashemau" will be renamed Khemet, and the other two names will be saved for cities within that region.  Then, I'm going to name most everything west of there (the Sahara desert), Deshret.

Alright.

The first region I'm going to tackle will be Tyrrhenia, since it will be the default location for PCs to begin their adventuring careers.

I want Tyrrhenia to be much like a very early Rome.  The region is mostly agrarian, like much of the world, but boasts a handful of powerful city states.  These city states are loosely confederated and led as a republic by Senators in the Capitol City, Tiberium (?... Rome).  The Tyrrhenians have a strong military force of well-disciplined Legions.  They are also masters of practical engineering, having recovered many of the techniques of the Old Atlanteans.  Culturally speaking, they are the closest to the Old Atlanteans, worshipping the same gods, ruling with the same style of government, wearing the same fashions in clothing, speaking nearly the same language.  It is the hope of many Senators and Patricians use Tyrrhenia as a nucleus to revive the Altantean Empire.
