Where we are with maps

Other than those maps above, we are working on the following:

• Nation-specific maps, showing a bit more detail - zoomed a bit further in, but not showing any additional settlements or places of interest.
• A more expansive map, showing barbarian lands around the Empire.
• A strategic campaign map of each nation and its surrounds, showing even more detailed information, that will become much more relevant as campaign rules are released.

How much can I make up in my background?

We will be providing major cities, towns and Interesting Places as a starting point, and will be looking at a mechanism (almost certainly via the New Player Team) to work out how we can ensure player groups can be connected to those locations (or even 'own' smaller ones).

In coming up with new places for your background, the rule of thumb, really, is 'would it be widely known about'? If it would, it's best to avoid it. Hopefully we'll be providing you with a dense enough network of biggish places for you to refer to already, without the need to crowd our maps with more.

Therefore we're happy for people to come up with small hamlets, small settlements or steadings, points of interest such as hidden waterfalls or caves, sheltered valleys and the like. Anything bigger is unlikely to fit in.

How big is the Empire?

Very roughly, the Empire is 900 miles by 900 miles. Scale will be shown on upcoming maps.
