Need inspiration

Well, it is not a novel yet, as such . It started as an idea of a great empire-builder, which evolved from that. Im a history maniac and student, so this has been the main focus for my world. The story is taking shape, but while I was creating the history, I stumbled across many more good stories, so I guess it will take quite some time to finish any of them .

Ah, sounds great. You know, I'd also be interested in the history and workings of this world (I'm a RPG-Fanatic and worlds just interest me ), so if you're willing to share...

And hopefully you'll show us where you go with this map.

I've filled in some of the eastern continent, though Im not really sure if Im satisfied. Might be I just kill off the northern sea, have to consider.

Well, where to start?

I first created a world where civilization expanded according to Earth, but that turned out to be rather dull and complicated. So while I am keeping the setting low magic, it still has fantastical elements. Far from hurled fireballs and lightning, the magic is "deep", kind of like it was understood in our own world. The most hands-on magical event in the history of the world is where a nomad warlord makes a pact with the wind, allowing him to carve out a massive empire. But aside from that, magic plays a minor role.

The multiverse where this world is placed is not constructed like ours, with space and stars. Rather think of it like the ancient Colosseum in Rome, where the center of this construct is the "Throne", looking out over row upon row of worlds, like so many pearl necklaces. Numerous species and entities live in the multiverse and when a race of Titans wrested control over the Throne, they, together with their allies, turned on some ancient enemies of theirs.

These enemies were a vampiric race called Amalek, who travelled from world to world, sucking them dry of energy and life. They were now persecuted, the hunt lasting for millennia. Finally, when only eight remained, they fled to a backwater world in one of the outermost rings of the multiverse. This is the world I am creating.
