The World of 1883 - Steamclock World Map [WIP]

[Klaus van der Kroft]

Thanks guys! Much appreciated.

What's going on in the Southern Hemisphere?

Turns out that Le Plongeon/Churchward and Saint-Hilaire (first respective proponents of Mu and Lemuria) were correct in this particular world (though part of the existence of those continents is due to non-natural events related to the setting's overarching theme of time travel), and I thought it would be nice if they were actually part of an antartican supercontinent.

The final version is supposed to have only parts of this southern continent revealed (as not much of it has been explored), so as to give the notion that contemporaries still think the three territories to be different continents. In game terms, it also serves as pristine territory for adventures into the unknown.

Will Atlantis make an appearance perhaps?

Yes and no. Strictly speaking, Homer's Atlantis doesn't exist in the setting. But instead, some highly excentric explorer tried to go back in time, move an entire greek city with actual ancient greeks to the location, and ended up with a rather problematic accident in his hand - and a half-sunken greek city in the middle of the Atlantic.

Did you use under-water shelves? Continent of Zealandia would have fit right in.

My plan for some underwater features is to add some kind of faded sillouettes. Still trying to determine how, but it goes in that direction.
