Roadmap Phase

The world

The 72 × 54 km continent, rebuilt by script from the concept map: coast, mountains, rivers, lakes, volcanoes, towns, roads and every farm plot.

October 2026 • In Progress

90% complete

Outcomes

  • Five kingdoms, the Heartlands and the Ashen Wastes
  • Rivers drawn from the map, running down the mountains
  • Towns, villages, plots and roads planned and carved

Done

  • Coast and sixteen biomes read from the concept map
  • Mountains grown and eroded around the plan
  • 22 rivers drawn by hand, five lakes and nine waterfalls; rivers run down mountains instead of cutting gorges
  • Five volcanoes, Cinderfall and Khaovore's Eye among them, with a volcanic field and a chain of craters
  • 7 realms in 17 duchies, 45 counties and 228 baronies
  • Trunk roads, village lanes, bridges and fords
  • Every rural plot and town lot planned, about 11,000 households
  • Coast shaped so no sheer walls drop into the sea
  • The final rebuild, 3 October 2026

Still to do

  • Walk the rebuilt level in the editor and fix anything that looks wrong

Notes

The world is rebuilt by script from a plan, so it can be rebuilt the same way again. The final rebuild was run on 3 October 2026, after the Heartlands' borders were corrected.
