Welcome to the Yang-Tzu Isles!

"Daishima is the only major settlement in Yang-Tzu, outclassing every other as the heart of governance and religion for the Ch'ien-Ji race. The city has almost mythological origins, the Loong Dragons supposedly showing the Empress of Shen-Xi the site where her people would be safe. In reality, the site was probably settled where it was because it took advantage of the flat ground of Dai-Dai, the name of the large island that holds the city. After its founding, and several decades of warfare with the Shen-Ji, who eventually became Huon-Ji, the city also became notable as the supposed site where Shen-Loong created the stars and began the formation of the Fen-Shu, or Great Barrier, that protects the islands from the Shen-Xi empire to this day. The city was formalized as the capital from this point onward, ruled now by the Cheng-Yao-He Empress and her council. The city has remained untouched ever since. Daishima is built around a small natural bay where the oldest buildings in the city can be found, and it is also the area of foreign trade with the city. Stretching out for another mile down the rocky coastline are the customary semi-floating homes of the Ch'ien-Ji, of which many are fishermen plying a nearby river and the ocean. The core of the city, found between these two areas and set back from the water, is the Imperial District which is named as such for possessing the path to the Shen-Loong Dragon Temple, the Empress's Palace, and other important cultural areas. The Temple is a magnificent structure, perched to overlook the waterfront and most of the Imperial District in the center of the city. The Palace is similarly opulent, with many speaking highly of the beautiful Starlight Court where the Empress holds court. The room is almost entirely enclosed, with a pond floor and simple wooden walkways leading to the throne area while overhead, the curved black ceiling is studded with Quartz, Gold, Solacrox and a dozen other materials that together, craft a shining depiction of the heavens." - Wiki
To the far east of Regalia lies the mysterious Yang-Tzu Isles. They have a culture unlike that seen on the rest of Aloria, which mimics real world Asian cultures, such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc. It is entirely likely we will never be able to explore the Yang-Tzu Isles on Massivecraft. However, I am taking it upon myself to create the island of Dai-Dai, the surrounding smaller islands, and the city of Daishima, the only major city in the isles of Yang-Tzu. The map is in it's early stages, with only a few buildings, a city wall, and islands to explore. For those of you who don't remember, I was the one who made a Farah'deen map a long time ago, and more recently, I made a map of the islands of Etosil. I hope to use my map creating endeavors to use as a portfolio to become a World Staff member, some day.Download Link at the Bottom of the Thread!

As I said, this map is in the early stages, but it usable for exploration. For now, here is the Imgur link: https://imgur.com/gallery/ArsvVzU
