Aladron Continents: Thamal

Finally finished the huge continent of Thamal, situated east of the land of Umarald (which serves as the setting for the Centuria game).

The original map can be seen in the lower left corner as a reference. The sheer scale of the continent was a bit challenging and at first progress appeared to be very slow...

Thamal is the continent of origin for the gothic civilization so the westernmost parts are intended to provide a suitable landscape with mountains, fjords and other terrain elements to create a European-style small kingdoms setting. Going rather free-style from there, a massive mountain range was decided to divide the rest of the continent into a northern and southern section as well as three vertical sections.

The end result is a continent with large jungles, massive mountains and several inland lake regions providing ample material for exploration and discovery of unknown civilizations. Humans are intended to inhabit the northern and western parts while the south and east is home to giants, trolls and other creatures which makes it difficult for humans to gain a foothold.
