5/🧵
-The White Tower.
Despite standing tall on the corner of the south-eastern coast, no one knows whom it belonged to.
A grand tower, whose white stones do not decay, break, or rust.
Whom no one, human or animal, dares go near.
It hurts.

4/🧵 Some locations:
-The Broken Shoulder. Threin's largest river that gives water to most ranchers, and fauna.
-The Longfort. A wall that began from the stones of Marbesa and stretched down to a third of the northen coast. Then over the centuries grew, until it reached the east.

3/🧵
Most of Threin's inhabitants live on the coast, with only ranchers living further inland. But all avoid the territories' center. From smallest to biggest, its beasts are wild, and are left to be such. Threin cannot be tamed.

2/🧵
The people of Threin were once of the Frontier.
And like others who escaped it, their old family bonds are strong.
As mentioned, Threin, Veceri and Marbesa all help one another. Threin provides both with grain and meat. Veceri provides exotics and textiles. Marbesa, metals.

The Territories of Threin are no simpler than that.
If you avoid the tall-grasses, the marshlands, the tar pits and you don't stare the big herbivores in the eyes; Threin doesn't have much dangerous fauna. The worst died out long ago.

Marbesa's redness progressively ends the further you go from its center. Toward the east, it becomes savana. To the great plains of Threin.
A vast territory of flat grasslands. Where you can go hours on horseback before seeing any hint of a mountain on the horizon.

I however love how the Orken territories now look sick (diseased).
The orks are forced nomadics, from past wars and their lands deteriorating.
The map now reflects it :D

Made changes to the western side, it now doesn't look as empty👍
Unfortunately it is still my least explored region ;;-;;

Not to say the newest map is perfect.
It has a ton of empty space, and straight shores lines.
And locations I don't know how to give detail to from a large map view.
It's missing islands, coasts, terrains, nations, lakes...

Found back an old map-progress pic from a year ago.
Seven hells-
It wasn't the worst, I'll reuse parts of it in the future.
But, it had forgotten its goals💀
The sea in the middle was too narrow for naval warfare to work. And the Frontier was a sad "rectangle" at the bottom...🤨

Within The Blue Sea, the one at the center of my stories, literally and figuratively- there are 9 sectors.
I mentioned The Golden Shores and the Fair Sea before.
The others will come Soon˚TM.
