Vishteer Campaign World
Intro/Background
My Campaign world has grown over the past 30+ years from a few scratched out maps on hex paper to more piles of notes in more notebooks than I want to think about. I've built a lot of stuff here over the last 14 years, as well. Many campaigns have come and gone, and I'm grateful to every player who has helped my world come alive.
World Geography
Vishteer uses the real world as geography. This saves my OCD brain tremendous amounts of labor trying to figure out EXACTLY what a region looks like. It isn't quite as "creative", but it works. I do NOT try to reflect any real-world culture or era in my game world. Any resemblance to anything real is pure coincidence. Here is a start on describing some of the regions of Miraborian Geography.
Note that this also includes a description of the "Lands in Shadow" beneath Vishteer.
Campaign Centers:
-
-
is a dwarven and human kingdom in the north-temperate regions, barely touching the rocky, storm-tossed coast and stretching many miles inland to a long narrow lake. Flanking it on the north is a region infamous for vicious hordes of orcs, hobgoblins and other evil demi-humans. To the south lies the mysterious and extremely dangerous blasted landscape of Umade's Barrens, created hundreds of years earlier in an attempt to destroy the world.
Castleton
Near Greenvale:
Barony of Pintar's Keep
Castle Naerytar
Temple of Aragh *hidden
-
-
occupies a narrow peninsula in the south-eastern coastal region of Miraboria, and along both the Gulf and the Ocean. Miran is a fragment of an ancient empire clinging to past glory. A theocratic Autocracy, Miran's leadership is supposedly made up of a ruler and a senate, but the priesthood has long since taken true power. Magic is forbidden on pain of death, and slavery awaits any who attempt to defy the mighty god Centarius - god of merchants and wealth, of promises made and broken, of honesty and theivery, greed and generosity.

Narbada Campaign Notes
South of Miran lies the continent of Mistland, home to many small kingdoms and city states, including Daintallia, Hadraith, Comaria and Vanhark. The Serpent's Teeth are the Pirate Isles, Southern Isles, and Eor.
As on the Land, under the Sea there are many realms, some friendly with landfolk, others not so much. Commonly, these realms are divided by race, unlike most surface realms. Each race will have one or more regions which they defend as their own, and from which they will trade with others. Major known realms are described here, but there are many other smaller towns and communities that are unknown to the surface folk except perhaps locally.
