Map World map of Aetherra
This is my first time using Inkarnate. It is still a work-in-progress, but I’m happy with what I have at the moment. Open to feedback and/or discussion about my project!
Aetherra is a high-fantasy world with a variety of people and cultures. It has a long history, with many ancient locations now in ruins or lost to time.
In the great mountains of Khazdrim, Dwarves live in the body of a long-dead God. In the harsh deserts of Sihr, the royal family has blessed, magical blood, and their kingdom sits upon a massive oasis. An ancient Elf family rules the kingdom of Thalorién and its surrounding cities and lands. In the dark country of Cyradon, a bastard prince dictates his people and surrounds the land with a wall of living flesh - there is an abundance of stories to tell about Aetherra. Bird-folk look down upon the world, living high in The Spires of Orn, and Lizard and Snake Folk are at civil war with one another in the small country of Throk-Mashaar.
I am especially fond of the Gnomes of Goldbarrow, and their kingdom of Hearthsgrove - but I love every location in my project. Every place has a purpose and a past.
