Now that I found the ruins in the isometric, I was able to complete my cursed village 😎

Careful and Ricko don't mix 🤣

4 Serenia East Coast

4 Serenia - Agroal and east coast

I'm trying out a new possibility:

1. Create AI-generated images of maps that come with interesting decorations.

2. Use this image as a Trace and add Transparency to this Sheet.

3. Place the Sheet Trace under the Land, and draw the outline of the Land on top of the image.

4. Arrange the map as I see fit with the chosen motif and keep this sheet trace transparent when I export the JPG.

I'm attaching the image and the file; I think you'll just have to "fit" the image back into the trace to get a better idea of ​​what I'm talking about.

Deforestation in Brazil began with colonization, when the Portuguese extracted brazilwood (no shure is the right name for "pau brasil") for export. Since then, fire has been the most accessible and effective way to clear large areas of vegetation, preparing the soil for sugarcane plantations and, later, coffee and livestock. Burning temporarily fertilized the soil, but with the loss of nutrients, new areas were cut down, accelerating the destruction of the Atlantic Forest and other biomes.

In the 19th century, livestock farming expanded, mainly in the Cerrado (in the center of Brasil) and, later, in the Amazon, with large areas of forest being burned to create pastures. In addition, the extraction of hardwoods such as mahogany, rosewood and ipê increased, feeding the great demand in Europe and the United States. In the 20th century, countries such as China and Japan also became large consumers, often acquiring illegally extracted timber.

Despite new clearing techniques, fire continues to be one of the most widely used methods for deforestation. Its low cost and the speed with which it transforms the forest into arable land or pasture mean that it is still widely used. The burnings, as we call them here, have always occurred before, during and after the infamous (J.B.), sometimes a little less, sometimes a little more. Incessant.

Bonehaven

Bonehaven, once a peaceful haven for farmers amidst fertile hills, now lies like a gaping wound in the earth. The sun refuses to shine on the ruins, shrouded in a thick, cursed fog that blackens the air. It was under a blood moon that the city met its end, when the undead horde of the infamous Lord Felrule emerged like a putrid gale, heralded by unholy chants and the unbearable stench of decaying flesh.

The night began peacefully, like so many others. But around midnight, the first wave of walking corpses broke through the perimeter. They did not scream, they did not roar; they simply advanced, driven by a dark purpose. Men, women, and children tried to resist, but their screams of terror were drowned out by the icy laughter of the Necromancer, whose skeletal silhouette watched over everything from a nearby hill.

Those who fell did not find eternal rest. Each body left on the ground rose again, soulless eyes glowing with a ghostly blue light, their minds now trapped in the grip of Felrule’s spell. With hands once calloused from labor, the farmers of Bonehaven wielded instruments of death, swelling the ranks of the undead army.

By dawn, Bonehaven was nothing but a husk of stone and ash, its fields covered in destruction. The river that once provided life for the village now ran with murky waters, infected with the essence of darkness. This once beautiful, now cursed place was but a piece in the macabre chessboard of the mighty Lord Felrule, who marches relentlessly, city after city, leaving nothing but despair and eternal servitude in his wake.

Those who survive in the shadows whisper the name Bonehaven only in desperate prayers, fearing that the city’s fate will one day overtake them.
