The Continent of Bronn, from the World of Arthea

It's not trimmed like that earlier version.

This is a close up view of the continent of Bronn, on the fantasy world of Arthea, where my fabulous Dungeons & Dragons Campaign is set. It was originally meant to be a way to game out the next book in the Dragon Garage series, but alas and alack, sales were not what I'd hoped for and there is unlikely to be a sequel any time soon. 

Them's the breaks. 

But, I still have a very fun D&D campaign with lots of world building background material for the characters to explore. 

Of course, it's really more about building material around the players, if possible. 

For the campaign, I wanted to do a megadungeon, for reasons now lost in the mists of my failing memory. It was a silly foolish idea that I feel obligated to complete. 

Why do I do these things? 

It's such a stupid amount of work...but for some reason beyond my rational understanding, I do like making maps. 

Just my nature.

The map of Arthea, an exercise in excessive detail. Originally intended to build out the world of Dragon Garage, but a sequel isn't looking likely, so now it's just for the game world in Dungeons & Dragons. 

The characters are on the continent of Bronn, which extends from the arctic circle down to the Midsea. Druidun Dungeon is basically in what would be Southern France. 

The map is based on early maps of the earth, mostly ancient Greek maps, and then warped from there. Africa has been smushed up with the Amazon jungles of South America, with a great mountain range in between. 

Another great mountain range runs through Bronn, known as the Wornspine. The great plains beyond are dominated by the ruthless Centaur Khanates. The far east is dominated by the Celestial Empire of Shantun.

Since the whole campaign is based in a stylized medieval Europe, everywhere further afield has more monsters and otherworldly kingdoms.

The ports on the southern shores of Bronn have plenty of traders and travellers, so word of fabulous far off treasures and tombs is relatively easy to find. Getting the actual treasures is quite another matter...
