As laid out by Ryan in this post- https://inkbunny.net/s/2917846

Here is a much more detailed world map of Noria. I looked and evidently I had never uploaded this to Inkbunny (nor Furaffinity). Which is fine, it has seen a slight revision since I first created it a couple years ago.

I may very well make an additional variant in the near future with the names of each continent displayed for ease of reference.

The three major continents- Airdmor, Ildothae, Elrena.
The three minor continents- Gool, Nocturn, and The Polar States (land itself unnamed).

I may also create a biome color key. In the meantime if you are curious about anything, please ask!

When it comes to fantasy, I love Magical technology is there any race that harnesses it for that? Like the Asura from Guild Wars? So like instead of robots they use golems, and anything you'd see in sci fi, like computers and machines run on magical crystals and such.

I am not familiar with Guild Wars but I know what you mean. The answer is yes, but to varying degrees across the disparate cultures. Some of it is still developing, so I hesitate to give fully definitive answers right now across the globe.

In other cases though- The Canivir empire uses magic robotics powered with crystals as you say (Katlyn misunderstands airship engines, delivering my lore through her and not breaking character can be a challenge at times). Vinetta has enchanted golems made from natural materials. Trees, earth, rock. Zenithia has iron beasts powered by the Hex mists, which is an element unto itself.

In this regard I took inspiration from an old tabletop miniature game I used to play called Mage Knights.

As for computer analogues, for the moment that sort of technology only exists in ruins or hidden havens of ancient people. Some of that is key plot for a few of my characters.

thats awesome :D In Guild wars, The asura are a reclusive, xenophobic race from underground, driven aboveground by a great crisis. they are small and weak and thus use Golems to do heavy lifting, they love geometric architecture and are masters at making things levitate, their new capital Rata Sum floats above the ground constructed inside a giant cube, or at least the city centre is in said giant floating cube.

My own race I use for a lot of generic fantasy is similar in that they make things float and are pretty advanced in magical tech, but their thing is airships, as they hail from a series of floating islands Called the Attican Mists, A land floating with a bank of fog thick with arcane energies, as such traversing the land is dangerous, as magical anomalies occur regularly in the mists and without one of the Airships, the race i use, have, it is very difficult to navigate without taking many, many precautions.

Yeah I actually really love this design do you have an over view I can read? Something to go over tech level cultures and asthetics ect. Is it a fantasy setting stuff like that.

Not yet! Just the small hints dropped by the characters themselves.

I can tell you that in general the technology in the more developed nations resembles Chrono Trigger's 1000 AD, or Final Fantasy VI. Smaller countries behind that closer to late medieval, early renaissance. It is a fantasy setting with mages and gods who actually existed and such.

The Canivir empire is the most advanced country in the world and is something akin to a 1930's dystopian vision. Although still in development on my part.
