Cartographer's Guild: A quick and easy campaign setting map...

A quick and easy campaign map drawn in pen. You draw coasts, Mountains, Forests, rivers, and population areas. Coastal waters are offset from the first coastal line by a dashed low-tide border. Deeper ocean it simple black.
Depending on scale you dont need small islands and community names. Just features and regional names.

Greb is our Northern Europe with a few coastal towns and a mysterious tower in the great woods to the south. Mountains cutting off this westerlands from the unknown world to the east. Up here Queen Elsa and her sister Princess Anna are living the good life governing their serfs.

Brule & Vont are our British Isles setting. Winters are harsh in the north beyond the southern parts of Brule. Brule and Vont are governed from the capital by evil, but while they squeeze the islands dry of taxes or claim an extensive territory encompassing them, they dont care to make things better for anyone other than the few who govern the many.

The Westerlands are economically depressed, and have fallen into a dark age. Into this age the PCs will find themselves trapped in grinding slavery. It all used to be some ancient Republic, but now its a long shattered and forgotten past. What destroyed the Republic?

  • Necromancy
  • Corruption
  • Elitism
  • Inequality
  • Nepotism
  • Despotism
Basically this is Post Brexit Britain and a broken Europe a few hundred years after the Great Betrayal. An Dystopian Fantasy setting where women are burned at the stake for Witchcraft at the slightest hint of rebellion and you get what you take from others...
