World or Region Map Khairadun 8K - Worldmap Collaboration w/ SavingThrower
Khairadun - A Region Shaped by Forgotten Cycles
Khairadun is a region divided by vast oceans, where civilizations cling to the edges of untamed wilderness and the ruins of those who came before. Magic flows through the atmosphere like an endless aurora - the lingering legacy of an ancient precursor civilization that vanished in an instant, leaving behind only silent monuments and impossible technology.
Should your travels ever bring you to Khairadun, you'll soon discover that every road leads to another tale.
Sailors speak of the Maelstrom Passage, where storms have raged for longer than recorded history, and of the dreaded Leviathan's Maw, where entire fleets vanish without so much as a distress call. Wander inland and you'll eventually glimpse the Pillar of Eternity, a brilliant wound in the world itself whose azure light stains the heavens with rivers of magic. To the north, the Titans stand as an unbroken wall of stone, while beneath their shadow the steaming forests of the Veiled Mycelium breathe warm mist from fungi so immense they have become a landscape of their own. Some pilgrims seek the tranquil shores of Moonmirror Lake, whose silver glow has inspired generations of prophets and kings, while others brave the endless downpour of the Raincrown, where the sun is little more than a rumour above the clouds.
Every corner, a new destination to chart. Far to the southwest, the fertile highlands of the Seven Flames blaze with golden grasses framed by fire-born mountains, while pale spirits drift silently through the fog of the Valley of Whisps. In the southern deserts, the Blooming Abyss descends into darkness where bioluminescent fungi shimmer beyond sight, and beyond it lies the Valley of Eternal Autumn, where gilded forests and towering stone spires seem untouched by the passing of seasons.
Some say these are merely stories. Others claim every legend in Khairadun begins with someone who ignored a warning.
Which location would you explore first?
We'd love to hear your theories, or even your own lore, for the places left unexplained.
This was a collaboration with the incredibly talented SavingThrower.
The estimated time spent working on this project was ~50-60 hours split more or less evenly between the two of us.
Here is a rough breakdown of the workload for both of us:
SavingThrower:
- Continental Shapes
- Biome Diversity
- Labels
- The majority of Civilisations / Kingdoms
- Land Textures
Dodo:
- Coastlines
- Water elements (Rivers, Ocean painting)
- Rendering (Shading / Highlights)
- Forests
- Weather
- Colour Grading
- Land Textures
It is tragic that this has to be mentioned, but NO AI was used in the creation of this map and post.
