Atlas Elyden #123 - BROR!

Finally, after what feels like years of people (well, some people) asking for it, here's the map of Bror. I spent well over a month working on the topography for this map - thats the longest continuous amount of time I've spent doing nothing by topography. Usually, to preserve my sanity I work on one nation at a time, adding topography to my base map as I need to. But in this case, I decided to just do the entire landmass in one go.

Never again!

I'm pleased with the result and no doubt I'll end up going back to tinker and alter regions as I eventually get round to mapping individual nations. I doubt I'll be immediately making all the nation maps for Bror. I have a few in mind I'd like to work on, which will help me flesh out the history of the region somewhat, but I'll be returning to the Near Hemisphere soon, in the hopes of completing Llachataroundul and Sammaea, which are the two main continents of Elyden.  Whilst making this map I started coming up with some history for Bror. More on this in a future post, but I had to come up with multiple reasons to explain its isolation in a world where ocean-faring battleships are a common thing to most advanced nations, making the voyage to this 'distant' continent not much of a deal in and of itself.

So, in the timeline of the Fifth Age, in what you might call the age of exploration and colonialisation that was happening around the Inner Sea, Bror was united as a single powerful yet insular and xenophobic empire known as Dalliamoraa, that was ruled by an equally powerful and charismatic scion - Orias Yetzirah. Under his tyrannic rule was the island-continent of Bror kept sae from foreign interference.  However, his eventual death led to the crumbling of the nation in 1247 RM into various nations and states. these states inherited their predecessor's xenophobia and insular nature, and made little effort to explore the Far World, as they called the rest of Elyden.
