[Meta Thread] Lord Windos' PokeRole Adventure 2: The Wild Lands

[Redstone]

I may lack much context from previous campaigns but what is here does look scary. Excited to see how it turns out.

Indeed. If it is scary to you, imagine for the rest of us.

Also, didn't had the chance in say before: Welcome to the forums and the campaign my friend. Enjoy the wild adventures of this place!

Thank you x)

So happy that dragon alerted me to this happening. Shoutout to him.

May our adventures be *fortunate*

Glad to have you on board, and also glad that Windos was willing to let me invite you to the game.   Looking forward to seeing how you navigate one of Windos's Wild Rides!

Alright, I've got done with the latest wave of PC Creation for y'all, so it's time to get onto the next big release of public resources - !

The Sutalör Map City/Location Reference

Now, I haven't had the time (or skill, frankly) to convert my Map to a more legible format, so that is still a bummer. What I have done, though, is find a reference point on them that everyone can use to (hopefully) find where everything is and is in relation with one another! Let's get armature cartography, mates!

====

[PERMISSIONS: PUBLIC]

[WEST SUTALOR ]

See the square that is Labeled 'A' ? We'll start here, going counter-clock wise as we name all the Cities and Towns. Locations, meanwhile, will have a descriptor of what to look for to find them on the Map, in relation to the other Cities/Town/Other Locations. Each place will have have a basic descriptor attached to it, and a Spoiler Tag containing Public/Shared information on the Place and what Events happened in it. I'll try to remember to keep those Tags updated, but if I don't just bug me until I do!

CITIES/TOWNS

Bayhama City - The City of Beginnings

Capital city of the Sutalor region, and the most densely populated. It is a major metropolitan area, tourist attraction, a political hotspot, and more, as it's many Foreigner's start to their journeys throughout these Wild Lands. Here is were Settlers are most comfortable and determined to call home - don't let their friendly and laid-back attitudes take you off guard, 'cause each and everyone of them has got grit! The Scimitars have their main embassy and ports to the Mageocracy here, from which a small population of Scimitar, Magi, and the Occultic people - these are about as friendly and outgoing as Magi are outside the Mageocracy. Natives are scarcer sight - they too have an embassy, but not much in the way of Lepia around.

Verdantia Conclaves - The People's Bread-basket

Sutalor’s Major and Primary Agricultural zone, formed by a collection of townships that have banded together to coordinate harvests and survive the harsh and bizarreness of their homeland/industry. Nature, land management, and conversationalist is held to an almost sanctimonious degree in these parts, and the culture and lifestyle is vastly rustic and simplistic with some modern leanings; a sharp contrast to Bayhama’s cutting edge modernity and multicultural busyness. The Settler folks here are much the same as the ones in the 'big city' , if a bit more vigilant ; and, occasionally, you might see a few of the Natives hanging around, keeping their distance from local and outsiders alike as they quietly go about their lives. A rare few Scimitars and Magi call this place home.

Mostly situation on and around the Whitefalls River and Delta Wetlands, and covers a large swath of the lower western part of the region. Borders and overlaps with the Delta Marshlands and Picaross River Natives: the Gomruve'Lepia, and the Dire Dartz hidden villages.

Port City Fweilabors - The Conflux Cove City

West Sutalor's other major port city, one focused more on shipbuilding and repairs, fishing, storage and frieght, and imports from East Sutalor and the Mageocracy. A 'business first' and blue collar sort of place, the Settlers here are of a rougher sort, toughed by their hard lifestyle and ever vigilence on the seas against Sutalorian Jellicents incursions and the errant Wandering Hurricane. If entertain is what you're looking for, the myraid docks has all sorts of salty seafayer delights - including, rumor has it, some fight clubs for the most daring out there. Scimitars (especially the Water Faction) have a controlling interest in this town, as its where they get most of their goods from; the Natives, by contrast, are a unwelcome sight, as Ceona'Lepia Pirates and roughnecks are despised and feared while the rare Hez'Lepia and Gomruve'Lepia is regarded with curiosity at best and uneasiness at worst.

Hez'Matiwa - Bewitching, Beguiling, Ever Beautiful

'The Towns of Mists' in Common, this is the primary homelands of the Lepia sharing the same name, being the second smaller of the two 'official' settlements of the Natives. Holds the highest population of Independent Pokemon too, many of whom are members of the Hez. A few odd Settlers call this place home, the most famous being Christain Handerson, best seller author of 'A Madman's Sorre: The Official Guide to Sutalör' . Scimitars are frequent visitors, intrigued and excited to discover the Magicks of the Hez, but just as often leave befuddle and frustrated - or not at all. For you see, this place is a snowy, misty, hazy, shrouded, and coniferous place, in times past the entire place was a labyrnthtine nightmare to traverse to all but the endemic people and their Mons, the lands unwelcoming of any hostile outsiders in their own uniquely fae and eldritch ways. Ever since the Scimitars enacted their Anti-Magic Tech and Spiritual Wards along the Route and around the town, though, travelers of all kinds have an easier time navigating this cold and curious place - though beware, for the protections are not all-encompassing, with it and the bordering Lostlorne Taiga still having plenty of tricks and surprises in store for the curious and incurious, bold or unbold....

Mrufe'Matawia - Reverence, Regard, Remembrance Bold


'The Town of Mountain Fail' in the Common language, it is A small city/big town (depending on how you look at it) located right outside, on, and within some part of Mt. Twinspires. In the past it was inhabited almost exclusively by traditionalistic Mrufe'Lepia, but the discovery of common metals, minerals, and rare, magical ores - Mithril, Adamantium, Orichalcum, and a plethora of rare Evolution Stones and Items -and other useful materials has attracted and maintained an healthy (and unwelcome, by the Natives) populace of Settlers and Scimitar (Earth Scimitar mostly, though they are most dislike at best by the Natives). It is the major industrial area of West Sutalor, with its metallurgy and mining industry booming, migration and integration ever ongoing, and modernization of the town continuing strong to the present day. Disputes between the indigenous people and the ‘Faldan’ (Flat Landers) , Vin'dacc, and Scimitar existence ever endures here, just as the mountains and its Lepia are - The Bush Wars bloody presence is still strong, and the memories of the Mrufe all long indeed...

Quarmire Township - The Miresome Jungle-Sea-Grove Retreat'

The smallest town of West Sutalor, it is a strangely quaint and laid back place that is thoroughly entangled in the Region's infamous Picaross Mangroves - home to some of the nastiest Bugs and Poison types outside of the Gomruvushisspe’matigov - and the Glimmering Seas, home to the last great Undersea Empire of DEATH in Sutalor. This place and its surrounding locals are perhaps the deadliest and primal of West Sutalor, holding a Nature's bounty of plentiful and colorful threats that titulate and much as terrifies. The fact the area 'boasts' the highest concentration and diversity of Malefic Monstrum is not earning the place any rave travel agency reviews either - unless they're the stark raving mad and horrified kind. Despite this- or perhaps in spite of - the people - ALL the People - living here are the most laid back, carefree imaginable, almost one and all having a sort of 'lazy, devil-may care attitude' about them. It almost defies belief, but perhaps living so close and familiarly with death of all kinds has inured their sense of urgency - or, perhaps, it has made them among the strongest people of the world.

Gomruvushisspe’matigov

'The Gathering Grounds of the Green Mountain Valley Snake Passage' in Common speech, this is the one 'unofficial' settlement of West Sutalor. Or, more accurately, the stomping grounds of the nomadic Tribes of the Gomruve'Lepia, who journey back and forth and 'round and 'round the circular valleys, hills, and what little plains and grasslands not chocked by dense jungle. This is the connecting ring and paths that binds the circular Route of West Sutalor - tread lightly here, for this is where Barsihisska slither and Rumbling Mountains roam most.

Smelta'Matiwa: Fiery, Fiesty, Brightly Fierce

'Smetla Town', in Common speech, this and the Ferrovolcanic Floodplains surrounding the settlement are the homelands of the Smelta'Matiwa. Mining and metallurgy are big industries here, but what many do not know is that it's also the premier place to Breed and raise Pokemon quickly, thanks to the ample energy and positive vibes this place and the Lepia radiate like the sun! It is also the source of much of the magnetic and more exotic Pokeball/Magiteck materials, and has a big focus on producing Batteries and specialized machinery of all kinds. The whole town and lands are ran by the Brunstead Family, who are, outside of the likes of Terra, Acrowls, and other similarly powerful and extraordinary Trainers, the Strongest, Most Special, and Most Fortunate people in the entire region - their Power is only rivaled and eclisped by their Strangeness and seemingly carefree attitudes. All Peoples more or less get aong here, as the Tribe is the friendliest by far of the The Natives and less willing to hold grudges/have bad vibes with Scimitars and Settlers (Not that they haven't forgotten it all, oh heck no!), and the Scimitars obviously have a great deal of interest in the town; so much so they dug a canal and set up protected roadways for the Regions (and Mageocracy) to get at their bounties easier!

Port Grinita: The Rough and Tough City

/

Sutalör 's largest Settler city outside of Bayhama, this is a export and trading hub for East Sutalor. Being hedged on all sides by Strangeness and danger, including the Legendary and infamous Wild Lands, everyone here has put aside their differences to see to the defense and prosperity of this city.

Attale Townships: The Harkening Towns of Ye Ol' 

/

A collection of desert and badland settlements, all centered around surface mining and harvesting the mineral wealth and flora and fauna only found here. It is also the least developed and most recent Town(s) in the Region, with the vast majority looking to be out of a wild west movie. It is also the most direct way of entering into the Wild Lands, one of the Strangest Places of them all, rumored to hold vast hordes of Au'rarii Relics, the most ferocious Mons to ever Mon, and their last, lost City....

Romrubsi’matigo: Walking, Working, Ready Wrought

/
'The Gathering Ground of the Red Mountain Bush' in Common speech, this large swath of The Maroon Bushlands is where the Romrubsi'Lepia make their living. It is all centered around The Maroon Mesa, a site most sacred to many of the Tribes in the region, and borders the Caldronic Wellspring, a Place that almost everyone in their right mind avoids like a plague, least you attract the curious eyes of the Beliaddon Legions and the Roaring Moon fiefdoms living around it...

Bushlands Safari: The Most Dangerous Game Around

The Region's own take on the common Safari Zone, it is a community centered around hunting and catching the most rare, wild, and dangerous game imaginable. This includes even the Malefic Monstrum , Paradox Mons, and Pseudos that haunt this place, who are no doubt thankful for all the free food and entertainment they're given by these zealous hunters. The ones that do survive are hardy and cunning bunch through and through; they're all to eager to prove it too, regularly hosting tournaments and Special Hunts to prove themselves further, for the sheer thrill, and see if they can't charm others into their mad, mad lifestyle.

Archipelago Resort: The Safest and Finest Place To Live

A wide, sprawling settlement situated against the beaches leading into the Inland Archipelago, it is one focused on being a vacation and luxurious getaway from the rest of the Region's Strangeness, savagery, and general insanity. This is all possibly thanks to the area it's in being impossibly peaceful and calm; even the Malefic Monstrum avoid this place unless provoked, and swiftly leave even at that. This is THE place for those looking for a break from the excitement of Sutalor - or, for those special, Special and qualified few to make their way to the Ultimarche - the Path through the I.A.  that leads to the Hollowed Domain.

Announcement: The Map is Done (Well, the first draft of it anyway)! Tell me your thoughts on it, mates!

Wow, this is a big region 0_0  

Liking all the detail though!

[no one]

I'm really irked out because I'm extremely interested in what's going on but I can't properly engage with it when I'm on a moving ship. Internet's way too spotty. I'll be back on dry land on the 8th though, so it won't be too much longer. Also, nice to see you here Redstone.

I'm sorry that I've unintentionally made your cruise worse??? Wow, this is a new achievement, one that I'm unsure how to feel about...

We'll get you set up ASAP once the trip, and the game ain't starting until everyone is ready and raring to go, so don't fret mate.
