Prime Almanac

Prime Almanac

The Prime Almanac is a repository of all documented political and geographic entities of Al'Akwannon. That said there are large numbers of areas merely fleshed out or not well written out, so as new campaigns happen or time permits, more information will appear. That said, for the first time ever, the endeavor will be to post anything, even incomplete things, to help people understand various aspects of the world for the establishment of character concepts, character histories and other things. Information about regions of the world, maps (both associated to area posts as well as part of a map repository), major mountains and mountain ranges, seas, oceans, major or famous rivers and other major geographic information. This data is focused on what is known as the Prime Material plane, where most games will occur. If you are looking for maps or information on the outer or inner dimensions, refer to the Deities & Cosmology section.

  • Images repository (specifically for almanac connections to regional imagery to help visualize)

Global Map

Below is the global map of the Prime Material plane of Al'Akwannon comprised of an eastern and western continent (occidental and oriental). In general the two major continents do not interact with each other and only people of great power, knowledge, magic and other things are even aware of such things. These maps are "rough" and generally show the locations and countries of Al'Akwannon, but do not contain all details on things like coastal islands, intricacies of coastlines, river tributaries and confluences and a variety of geographic features that are generally fleshed out during campaigns using the area in question. In these cases, more details will be found on more localized maps.

Regional Overview

While there are a myriad of borderlands between these major regions there are several areas that follow a relatable theme, these are some of these major regions and what you can expect within. Each area is identified by the number on the global map and in most cases some overview of what the area or region is like as well as unique elements that have been a part of a past campaign or story.

Central Al'Akwannon

Also known as the Sunken Sea region, the Central area surrounds the sea, is the cradle of civilization and predominately has a sort of "romance language" feel to the areas, with a French/Gaulish vibe in the east (Isengrim and Cirdan) and a Spain/Italy vibe in the west. Additionally, the central area is where six of the seven "mega-cities" are located, cities with "insanely" large populations of several hundred thousand to a million residents.

Torosia

This is effectively a small continent (roughtly similar land mass to Austrailia, but far more lush) and comprise what would be considered the African countries, with a couple that reflect an Egyptian/North African vibe and some with more East African and West African vibes. The country of Gyantana taking on a vibe similar to Uganda

the Great North
the Western Great North can mostly be represented by Scandinavian equivalents, vikings, norsemen, the reindeer people (known as the Fenni, but similar to the Sami culture) and other things. Detailed info in the PDF below

Far West

a somewhat Germanic flavor area (especially Bavarian) but there are major elven and other fey presences here that affect the flavors of the area.



the Deep North
there are a few different areas that encompass the Deep North, notably the Tsardoms which are a cossack/Russian styled area that borders some of the remnants of the great Khan from the Hordelands below it on the map. There are also the Khanates, which are separate political entities that have split off from the descendants of the Great Khan. Info on the Tsardoms below

the Hordelands
dozens of warlords who could be united under the first born descendant of the Great Khan (though this could only be done if a new Great Khan emerged...many have tried, all have failed)

the Far East
an area that is relatable to Indian and Bengali empires of the past on Earth

the Southwest Peninsula

a vast area with three predominate parts, the Sythian Watch on the northern edge (an area that reflects a sort of Phonecian/Hittite element of Earth's history), an area comprised of various Mayan/Aztec/Incan styled countries in the center and a Polynesian flavored area in the southernmost tip
