Re: maps update
I looked at the Shadowborn cluster but i didn't had any good idea, even after reading Mr Magrum post. The fact that everyone in it must have ties with Ebonbane and the Shadowborn familly reduce the possibilities greatly.
Oh and i think i'll use your Stoytime Cluster as my "First Wolrd". I'm waiting to see more of it ^^

Re: maps update
Thanks! Made them up. I figured that with Belenus and Brigit being celtic deities, I would go with "celtic" names.

Re: maps update
Here's a speculative map of Malosia, an obscure domain from the web-published only novel Black Crusade, based on the snippets of geographical seeming text in that work. Wonderdraft Community contents used for this map include forecaster's wetlands and PigeonMaps (city markers), and A Clever Anagram's Simple Stamps.
All of the named locations are from the book. The existence of numerous other unnamed villages are mentioned in Black Crusade, but I didn't add any more to the maps beyond those named. The overall shape of the land I modeled after a twisted version of the Septateuch, a sun with six rays and the holy symbol of the Empyrean Church. It, along with most of the other details of the map- are speculative.

Using the off-kilter sun-design was a solid choice.

Re: maps update
I didn't read black crusade. It's the domain without a darklord ?

Re: maps update
More like its a domain in the early stages of formation, when the darklord still has the chance of not damnng themselves. By the end of the story its darklord was settled.

Hi kourkenko,
Just in case you or anyone else is interest, the Frog God Games are currently having a kickstarter for Lost Lands: Tehuatl - a 5e/pathfinder 1/Swords and Wizardry Mesoamerican Expansion. It could add details for many of the domains you intend to include in the golden Peninsula.
link to the kickstarter is below:

Re: maps update
i supose it's an island of terror. The only thing i find strange is how none of the rivers never get out of it. All borders are made of mountains ?
To be honest i didn't had the time to read your work for now

Re: maps update
Ok i have just read through the Reign of Winter adventure path to get a better understanding of Irisen , and it fits surprisingly well. I do have some thoughts on it, in regards to Baba Yaga. According to a obscure article/adventure (the Dancing Hut of Baga Yaga i think), she has been to the demiplane of dread before and escaped. Well, what if the escape was not complete, what if she instead became a darklord, but given her knowledge as able bend the rules regarding her imprisonment. Basically dumping her darklordship onto a blood relative, albeit temporarily (100 years) and is forced to return after a 100 years to renew the escape clause. When she fails in the reign of winter the darklordship reverts to her but also establishes Elvana as a co-darklord (something the renewal helped prevent in the previous queens) and the domain joins the frozen reaches cluster. Heck even the dates fall within the recent time frame, as i make it joining the cluster at arounf 760 BC with the domain forming at -640 BC by using the dates in the Ustalav timeline as a baseline

Re: maps update
Does anyone have any maps of different cities? I'd like a selection, if not all of them, to print out.

Re: maps update
The Black Box has several city maps. These are mostly just layouts of blocks roads City walls canals with very little in the way of place names and other such details. In many ways I consider them more like templates or partly finished maps for the DM to fill out.

Re: maps update
Hi I repost this from Jester's maps
I ve made this map of the Northern Core (befoere the Grand Conjuction). It includes places form official releases, netbooks and the Mordent Cartographic Society. It is 300 dpi so it can be printed in 57cm X 71,15 (22,44 in. X 28,01 in.) and the file is is 70 Mb.
It includes LAmordia, Demise, Dementlieu, Western Darkon, Northern Mordent and Richemulot, Falkovnia without the hilly region in the East and Dervich (G'Henna) and finally the Sea of Sorrows without islands.
The file is .JPG and will be available until 2020-12-03 15:33

Enjoy!
Also there are several maps from cities here
