  • [WIP] Jungle Temple

    Using Spectrum Overland, a temple in a tropical jungle...

  • A Monastery by the Sea

    The elevation changes are really great!

  • The Sola System: Adnati's star and celestial neighbors

    Made some changes. Scaled the starfield background per Ralf's tip. Moved the asteroid belt to the Inner System where it could be showed off more dramatically. Added a comet zone in the Remote System, using comets from CA80 HighSpace Star Systems. Changed the glow on the wormhole to a light blue so it would pop more. Decided to add some intrastellar jumpgates (like man-made wormholes) within the solar system, and for those I used Singularity symbols from CA80. And since I was already dipping into that annual anyway, I decided to swap out the planet symbol for the Jupiter-like planet Lythí and replace it with a planet symbol with rings from CA80.

  • The Sola System: Adnati's star and celestial neighbors

    A few tweaks, including increasing the size of the wormhole and adding a glow.

  • The Sola System: Adnati's star and celestial neighbors

    Inspired by Ralf's tutorial today showing the Cosmographer System Map, I did a little solar system.

    My campaign world is named Adnati, and I had long ago worked out the major celestial bodies that could be seen by the naked eye or by rudimentary (by modern Earth standards) gnomish telescopes.

    The sun is named Sola (named so that words like "solar" still make sense).

    There are five observable planets, and just as Earth's planets are named after Roman gods, I decided that Adnati's would be named after elven gods. They are:

    • Eldamarí – Named after the elven god Eldamar Galion, god of mountains, minerals, and the forge. It has a slightly reddish hue.
    • Gatheloní – Named after the elven god Gathelon Tarminel, patron of patron of instrumental music, democratic institutions, pranks and mischief, toys, wine and other intoxicants, the judicial system, and illusions and cantrips.
    • Lassamistrí – Named after the elven goddess Lassamistra Ordymil, goddess of the hearth and domestic institutions.
    • Lythí – Named after the elven goddess Lythia Nuros, patron of governance, diplomacy, battle strategy, and academia. It is the brightest of the planets.
    • Tyrí – Named after the elven goddess Tyra Manora, patron of the sea. It has a slightly bluish hue.

    Since the template also has Outer System and System sections, I decided to add more -- stuff extraterrestrial observers would know about, but Adnati's indigenous population wouldn't know about: an asteroid belt, two more gas giants, a tiny Pluto-like planet, and farther out, a wormhole.


    Now I need to do a map showing Adnati's three moons:

    • Lunaal - The gray moon with an orbit of 29 days (named so that terms like "lunar" still make sense)
    • Raudraal - A smaller red moon with an orbit of 40 days
    • Caerudraal - The smallest moon, a blue moon with an orbit of 77 days
