Updated My Campaign Map and timeline project to include chagrinspire
Partly because this post is to show international alchemy guilds working to plunder chagrinspire and all claim to not be affiliated with the Black Sphere Alchemists


Chagrinspire could exist on planet Psychon also
Xor hints are on Psychon and the above map
My EXOCOM Australian special forces sent into the dungeon game had appeared on tungeon tables onExile Island quite early and it started my idea of a dozen dungeon zones.

I like the border on this map better with stars for war zones and crowns for cities
I have tables to hike from Chagrinspire to Shadelport

The mysterious west consists of waring kingdoms and barbarians in the shadow of the Immortal Lotus Emperor who lives in an underground city. To the south is tropical jungle and ruin filled land Yoon Suin Might fit ok.

The Frozen North has a icy coast for ice barbarians, viking kingdoms and even some great wooden cities and bulwarks. There is also a great ruined city of the outsider gods most shun but madmen come to plunder.

The Brazen South has remnant ruins of the ancient empires, vast deserts of nomads and kingdoms that survived unchanged for 4000 years. Beyond them in the southern burning desert is the great burning city of the Efreetil and boiling oceans.

The Waring East include Waeric Islands an empire of the first age with faeries and wizards and knights, Beyond them is kingdoms invaded by Second Empire colonists who found remnants of the monster empire and reptilian and bat people and worse humanoid hordes. The many colonies since then wage constant wars with each other and have advanced the art of war. Guns are more common here than anywhere else currently. They all see the central homeland continent as backwards in matters of religion and war. Frustrated by vicious invaders the origional peoples adopted strange forgotten cults to subvert civilisation.

Scarford reef was stuff I did for Tenkars Landing which is possibly in a PDF out there somewhere but basically this is where that hex fits and it has three layers deep of caves and civilisations. People fleeing the continent try and come through these caves and dungeons to get to Exile Island.

Anglerlund is the Ilsand setting in my zine surrounded by the Anglerfish god Lampgulp. Its a pretty horrible island of cultists, weird villages and fish folk.

Exile Island is most of the first six years of this blog and very detailed.

Mordnar including Sour Hill and the Threefold lands and the Noble lands are very detailed to the hex.
