Introduction

Welcome to Islands of Adventure 
The RPG setting for 2018.


The aim of this blog is to provide info on the world that is being used in a game. It is a creative exercise for fun not for profit, no images or data used is intended to violate copy right laws.  

The general flavor of this game is one of swashbuckling, adventures in a world that is part classic age of sail and part steam punk. The unique aspect of the world is that is has islands that float about in the oceans. ( maybe a few sky islands but they will be very rare )  Magic will be a part of the setting but its power levels will be low. 

That is the brief introduction, more soon.

Azanara - Overview

Image
The Central Lands : AZANARA The continent is a large place, spanning about 3000 km north to south and 6000 km east to west ( but map makers are notoriously inaccurate at this scale, it could well be bigger ).  In addition to the main body of land there are several sizable islands on the continental shelf. The West Kingdoms of the Steam Lords. The European nations. As the name implies most of them have advanced steam power technology. The big 3 powers are; the Albyon Empire , the Kingdom of Goffnia , the Royal Republic of Parizan . There are several minor kingdoms and city states in the area, including; DwaBof the mountain realm, Queendom of Kaz and kingdom of Hidallga – once united as Catallar, The kingdom of Merconia , The very powerful Lake Towns of Le’Tarrag and La’Vettelle . Although there are sizable differences in cultural details, they are of one basic type with a common root language. In geographic terms they are isolated from the continental interior by the R...

The World Map

Image
The World Map Basically the world has three continents; the North, the South, and the Central lands. There are a few fixed islands scattered about and many moving islands, not shown on this map. Because of the axial tilt of the world the south always receives more sunlight, the days are long and it is hot, while the opposite is true for the north. The central lands enjoy a more moderate balanced climate. The North. A huge desert of ice dominates the north pole, with a 1000 km of tundra surrounding it. Not many plants or animals live up here. Because of the world’s tilt this region is in perpetual twilight. The coniferous forest stretches from the tundra to the coast, from a few 100 to a 1000 km wide. The climate here is harsh but many sturdy plants and furry animals make it home. The nights are long and so are the winters. Its very poor land for agriculture, but a few scattered kingdoms do exist. Most of the people who inhabit the North are tough, they have ...

West Azanara 02

Nations of the West of Azanara 02 The disunited realm of Catallar. About 400 years ago there was a war over succession between the brother and sister of house Hallensa. The realm was split in two; the Queendom of Kaz and the kingdom of Hidallga were formed. Unlike most wars this one included a very strong gender element. The queen of Kaz was not simply a female monarch, she installed a matriarchy, with the aim that 90% of all important jobs, especially leadership posts, be held by women. To understand the area one must understand the character of the Catallar people. They are highly passionate and interested in reputation above all else. Personal reputation for achieving great things is first but also local town glory matters a great deal. In contrast to the other great nations; Goffnians who value organization and discipline, Parizans who value art and comfort, Albyons who value wealth and power, the Catallar are quite different in their outlook. A person’s life sho...
