The massive continent known as Essalonia has reignited my dream of exploration. With an empty sketchbook and stuffed backpack, I head off into the new world to find, record and share my discoveries.

Conflagration (Dyn) (Img) - On my journey to the Westerlands I could not help but notice a tall leaning structure far in the distance. As I approached this interesting building I took notice that it was built on a small island next to the Meniva Sea. The tall cylindrical building is leaning over, however it has a wooden support structure against it. The building has glass walls on each floor which gives it impressive views from within. At the very top is a huge beacon of light and a large red flag.

(Dyn) (Img) - The strong eastern winds along the northern coast of Essalonia brought me toward a large area of water known as Brahmin Bay. I sailed slowly along a pair of pilons that were scattered around the harbor. Curiosity got the best of me and I made my way toward the nearest pilon. Each pilon had a sign with inspirational words of wisdom. I finally felt relaxed knowing that this kingdom had a very friendly community and sure enough I was met with a small gathering of people when I moored my vessel. The community showed me around their kingdom, and it felt safe, secure and prosperous. I met their king, @Talantius, and was given a hearty welcome and a place to sleep. Large ships with beautiful red sails also docked here to import and export trade. I entered an open structure by the docks, and it was very welcoming. The decoration found throughout reflected the spirit of the kingdom. On the other side I found a busy town with many homes and in remarkable condition. The salt in the air and frequent rainstorms certainly do not wear down these finely crafted buildings. Over the hills I heard the wind blow and to my surprise there were several tall windmills over the farmlands. The valleys around the kingdom make it perfect for mills to operate. Acres and acres of crops stretched for miles around the mills. This kingdom grew a variety of foods for both local consumption export. I took a break at Dawncrest Park and had time to reflect on my visit. As I hid under a large tree to shelter from another rainstorm, I saw a dark stronghold in the distance. My visit lasted but a few days in this lovely kingdom. I gathered my items and set sail once again to explore the northern coast.

Morandus Estate (Dyn) (Img) - There is something magical about the Morandus Estate. This mansion captured my heart when I first came across it during my hike along the Amber Road. The large home built by @Mojaven sits along a quiet river bend and is hugged by a colorful mix of oak and spruce trees. The front of the mansion has a small sunflower field and pumpkin patch which is warm and inviting. The exterior of the build has unique features and decorations that could only be done by a talented builder. A large courtyard is found in the back which also leads to the home's main entrance. The layout is certainly interesting and has a narrow vertical flow. The basement serves as a storage room. The second floor has a kitchen and living room with tables and chairs. A hidden pantry can be found above the kitchen which is especially good to store food for the long winters. The top floor has a master bedroom fit for a king along with a hidden attic with majestic views.

I remember when you did this in the past for the other worlds, and it was great!
 
Why did no one tell me this map existed? It's amazing!
However the holy lands is split between Desert and Savannah
I don't know about holy lands but they certainly are the promised lands!
Since Qadir and some songaskian folk are meant to flee there from faradeen.

Also the seas have names https://wiki.massivecraft.com/Oceans

Feel free to add "The City of Alamut" or... as it is right now, just Alamut Castle or fortress to the holy lands.
 
@Boogjangels I was looking over your thread again and now I figured out that this was an edited map by another player and not your map. I should have confirmed that and will revert to your original image that you yourself have posted. The changes have been made now.

Ah, I can see how that might've been confusing.. But yeah, I think Jaeharys (or however the hell you spell his name) made this version just to try and propose new names. In any case, thank you for at least crediting me (I do honestly appreciate that) but the map you have listed isn't the definitive version. If you'd rather use this one rather than the one I had drawn up then by all means, I guess that's your choice, but that ain't my map :P
 
Alamut is what keeps these lands holy and free! Align yourself with us or face the consequences :)

(also why tf haven't you built anything yet kiddo?)

We got too many big builds already made in creative and haven't decided on what to build yet, that and I really don't wanna get jumped cause the builds are actually ridiculously expensive lul

and nah, its Jerusalem that keeps the lands free from foreign oppressors and their ideologies, and keeps the deserts holy and free of tyranny for all of mankind.
 
Hey @Ha5h I have no idea if you are still planning on doing this, but Argost is actually Celetil. Faction politics kind of caused our name to be all over the place.
Also, I believe the USSR has changed/disbanded? Someone else will need to confirm!
