Hello folks!.
I have just joined this website and have started worldbuilding from the scratch.
What I have:
Geography:
I used a left aligned map, the means the ocean is on the west and southwest of the map.Right at the coast I would put some high elves, then furthern inland a fallen lost realm. (Its called Arhathon, Northern Kingdom). The eastern parts of this region are bounded by the Silver mountains (something like Tolkiens Misty mountains). In northern Arhathon there will be a magcal high elf kingdom, protected by hillsides.
On the western foothiulls of the Silver mountains , there will Hillman tribes. East of the Silver mountains, there is a wild land, with large forests and stuff. In the middle of my map, there is a pseudo-roman, pseudo-byzantine kingdom.The pseudo-Alpine range hold a secret High Elf city, in the middle of mountain ranges. Southwards of this pseudo-roman empire, the is a large coastal realm, inspired by Carthaginians and Phoenincains and Syriacs.(but these guys are still good, or at least neutral). The pseudo-romans have to deal with easterling nomads, and a special Knightly order defends this area. The easterling nmomads originate from beyond the Inland Sea, a.k.a as pseudo-Caspian sea.
I have also put a pseudo-Mordor, which is south-eastwards from my pseudo-Roman empire.
To the southeast of this pseudo-Mordor, there is a pseudo-Mesopotamia, with an ancient civilization, but its people were either corrupted, and a small part of them remain.
Races:
Humans/Men:
Yes. They here . But the men can de devided into nine (or should I but 11?) "houses"
1. House of Veor /Westmen- Are the old inhabitants of the area west of the Silver mountains. They have dark hair, and are supposed to be pseudo-pre-indoeuropean, or at least Gaulsih sort of people. One part were the original inhabitants, the second part are sort of "normans", or "Romans" who later also established the pseudo-Roman empire. These folks are at good terms with the High Elves and Grey Elves, and also with the dwarves. Standard soldiers: Spearmen, swordsmen, knights.
2. House of Eorad/Northmen -Pseudo-germanic, but mainly pseudo-Visigothic. Horse people, but some of the peoples are also pseudo-Novgorodians. Preferred soldiers: Light lance-cavalry, axemen.
3. House of Dencadh/Hillmen - pseudo-Goidelic. The culture of Rhaglad, the eastern part of Arhathon (the Northern kingdom) is really as Highlander scottish one, or Pictish to some extent, other Hillman cultures, mainly those further south will draw inspiration from Illyrains and Aromanians. Favourite: Spears, throwing knives, scythes, axes
4. House of Attil/ Easterling nomads. The various Avar/Hun/Pechenge/ RTatatr hordes. Favourite: Horse archers
5. House of ? (pseudo-Carthaginians)
6. pseudo Mesopotamians
7. Snowmen (these guys hunt the mammoths!)
8. ,peoples of the far south
9. peoples of the far east.
Elves:
The Elves of my world are divided into Light (no longer here, went ot Blessed lands), High (builders of wonderful castles, and great artisans, but proud. Prefer knights and heavy infantry.Also dragon riders. Live in valleys and partially the coast. Culture similar to pseudo-Normans). Grey Elves live along the coast and are also scattered in parts of the western mapWood Elves live in the forests east of the Silver mountains. Great arcvhers. Dark Elves- evil.
Dwarves: Seven houses. Livbe in the mountains. Language semitic like, culue like Scottish. typical dwarves.
Orcs: like orcs from Warcraft.Proud warrior guys, with some shaminsm and stuff
Other races:
Urqs (better name should come up) - Tolkiienic orcs.
Mankurts: formerly humans, but were tortured by the Big Bad to become a mindless race for his mooks.
