I drew this fantasy map for a novel I'm planning. The name is still a work in progress, but I've written up some backstory for the different locations below.
The characters in the book will mostly use the Turn Table Room and the connecting tunnels to get around. I made this map so I could picture where all the locations were in relation to each other.
The Author's Tomb: Essentially the god of the world, The Author has been reduced to a legend ever since he fell into a deep sleep. His body rests in this temple-type structure, which also houses the many gifts brought to him by humans. The Yona Clan once tried to wake him and ended up in a nightmarish vortex.
The Kingdom of Truth: Ruled by Veritas, one of the first sorcerers and now one of the last. The kingdom used to be highly populated by sorcerers, but the Yona Clan drove them away during their reign of terror. They worked hard to get past Veritas' defenses, but he managed to protect the castle and the powerful weapons inside.
Ruins of Numah: Not much is known of this place. It is supposedly the place the humans lived, but that was long before anyone can remember.
The Spirit Realm: Not shown because it is, as the name suggests, a different realm. I'm still figuring out how it works, since it is kind of Heaven, but both living people and spirits can travel in and out of it. It was once thought to be immune to evil, but the Yona Clan discovered how to infiltrate it.
The Kingdom of Peace: All the people left after the Yona Clan banded together to build up this kingdom. It quickly prospered, and the new generation only knows conflict from the stories their grandparents and parents tell.
The Forgotten Woods: This forest used to be inhabited by sorcerers, but now there are only strange creatures left lurking. With so few sorcerers around, the ones who fought for the land's freedom have nearly become a legend themselves. It is said that if you go deep enough into the woods, you can hear their cries for justice and sometimes even see their shadows on the trees.
Iqora's Fortress: An old sorcerer fortress the Yona Clan took control of and used as one of their main bases for a long time. When they returned, Iqora, one of the Yona Clan's leader, repaired it and is now using it to prepare soldiers for battle once again.
The Mountains of Hope (forgot to lable them): Supposedly, the Author's staff is hidden deep inside these mountains, guarded by a dragon. However, no one has been able to get past the gate that leads into the mountains to confirm this.
Hope's Stronghold: A stronghold built as a precation to serve the Kingdom of Peace in case anything like the Yona Clan happens again. Many were skeptical about the effort and money put into it, but it turned out to be extremely helpful as the kingdom is one of the first places targeted by the returned Yona Clan.
