Description

This setting may be thought as being part of the book series "Riverworld" by P. J. Farmer, where all the dead people in history find themselves brought back to life on a new huge planet.

The story of this Continuum is not dissimilar: there was a world filled with nations, gods and mythological creatures that suddenly "woke up" on a strange new planet, where the boundaries between life and death, myth and reality, magic and dreams are not defined as neatly as they would expect.

We want to express our gratitude to Yamada Sergata, Phoenix, rfhstrong, Dark Matter, Pisces, athles, Giamblico, Bomber the Undying, Ivan97, John and Rodrigo from the Hawks, JesJug, Ante Krist, Murk, Mgreedy, Shinigami Knight, Koen27 for their contribution to this project and another thanks to the Immersive System and the Warzone Mapmakers communities for their help and support.

We are two authors in one: N.W. Blader (continent shapes, tectonics, patience and supervision) and Coenquistatore (the low grunt Inkscaping).

Have fun!!!

Reviews

Review by Coenquistatore on 10/2/2024.
I want to use this review to lengthen the description of the map and add some explanations:
- Every port connects to ALL the sea tiles it borders, not only the one the port icon directs to;
- The landmasses is divided into geographical regions (stars giving 9 income) and provinces (hexagons giving 6 income) and political entities (pentagons giving 5 income);
- the geographical division is complete (meaning almost every tile is part of a region and a province), while the political one is Not (some tiles have no political affiliation);
- The value of these three kinds of bonuses has been chosen to be easily found in the scenario settings (just search for 5s, 6s or 9s);
- The Bonus Values have all been calculated with the standard N°of territories/2 (rounded down);
- This map is Local-Deployment-Friendly! A scenario maker who wants to keep the resource system must simply move the value of the bonuses that have a resource in them from their normal designation to the one with "(w/o res.)";
Response by map creator Coen&BladerLLC on 10/3/2024
The map herself represents a sort of fusion between different worlds or different planes of existence: it might have unintuitive connections, odd places alongside quite familiar ones.

This is due to the genesis of the project itself: the map was conceived as incorporating the roleplay of different players from a Legacy type game under the Immersive System rules; at the beginning, the translation from the original map (The World of Noliterre) to this one was planned to be smooth (the objective was to just make our lands more realistic, geographically), then it began to grow, both in size and ambition...

Many of those who contributed left Warzone though, their roleplays (lost forever) to be substituted. Coen led a furious study of almost 40 culturally different mythologies from around the world. Leading to this "collision" of myth, magic and imagination from many a-place and many a-soul.

We really hope you'll enjoy it. And fight trying.
