| There will be no more starting over; this is the map. There will be inevitable but minor touchups over the course of development, (edges and other little things, to accommodate details in mapping) but we are close to being ready for more detailed work, based on this schematic. (Not just this single world overview, but closeups of specific regions and locations) Thanks to everyone's hard work and patience, we are finally (albeit gradually) getting back on track.
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Gasaron| |
| | Minimap = [[File:Old paper map.png]]}} |
|
| |
|
| | [[Gasaron]] is the world where We all live. |
|
| |
|
| [[Image:WorldmapDevelopment.png]]
| | =Continents= |
|
| |
|
| ==Elemental Info==
| | [[Gasaron]] is divided in three major continents - [[Aemil]], [[Ancea]] and [[Oranye Isles]]. |
|
| |
|
| [[Image:Element Chart.png]]<br><br> | | ==[[Aemil]]== |
| These zones display obvious landscape and terrain characteristics with their relative element.
| |
|
| |
|
| | ===[[Aurora]]=== |
|
| |
|
| Each of the four realms circled with red are centers of true elemental energy; each is also home to one of the hidden crystals.
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Drasil Island| |
| | Minimap = [[File:000-1.png]]}} |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Artis| |
| | Minimap = [[File:001-1.png]]}} |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Esperia}} |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Voile'nolen}} |
|
| |
|
| The elemental alignment of these realms are as follows..(starting at the top-left, moving clockwise): WATER, AIR, FIRE, EARTH
| | ===[[Andorra]]=== |
|
| |
|
| | ===[[Kolev]]=== |
|
| |
|
| The blue circles are "secondary elements" .. These are not actual elements, but rather products of two combined elements.
| | ==[[Ancea]]== |
|
| |
|
| They are presented in the same top-left, clockwise fashion: ICE, LIGHTNING, METAL, WOOD
| | ===[[Argaes]]=== |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Hurnscald}} |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Migglemire}} |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Asphodel Moors}} |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Keshlam Ruins}} |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Western Beach}} |
|
| |
|
| | ===[[Tonori]]=== |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Tulimshar}} |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = The Tower}} |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Snake Pit}} |
|
| |
|
| The next set of circles will be "tertiary elements" .. products made of three elements.
| | ===[[Kaizei]]=== |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Nivalis}} |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Thermin}} |
|
| |
|
| So far, the only ideas to undergo any sort of discussion have been: SWAMP, SMOKE, and SNOW (similar but different to ICE).
| | ===[[Land of Fire]]=== |
|
| |
|
| Likewise, the list can combine even further, into fourth level elements. And fifth, and sixth, and so on and so on, as far as we so wish this to go. For now, however, three levels is more than enough. By combining multiple parts of each of the pure elements, you can create whatsoever element you so wish. This is the great quest of alchemists: the ultimate element. Likewise it can tie into various other areas and classes. Theoretically, at some point in time we could allow players to meld their own custom-made elements from the various elements already provided. Over time this will cause greater and greater spells and become increasingly difficult to perform the meldings. Thus, our mages and alchemists are kept quite busy searching the world over.
| | ===[[Candor]]=== |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Mana Tree}} |
|
| |
|
| | ==[[Oranye Isles]]== |
|
| |
|
| A fourth level circle will be drawn around the central continent. This is the theoretical level at which Mana energy should be produced, but this has yet to be a proven theory. We can assume that the elemental reaction that most closely resembled "Mana" was the explosive energy expelled after sealing the gods away. Whether this was truley Mana, or an intensely powerful blend of every element, is a very argued topic. Though scholars still don't have many hard-facts about the prehistoric war against the gods, they know enough to develop theories and passionate opinions.
| | ==[[Oceans]]== |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Long Ocean}} |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Clear Sea}} |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Tritan Ocean}} |
| | {{Geomap| |
| | Name = Oranye Sea}} |
|
| |
|
| | == Classic Server == |
|
| |
|
| ==Landforms==
| | The '''[[:Category:Geography|category:Geography]]''' groups pages which have a geographical content related to the The Mana World ''as of before the TMW-Evol Union. That content is no longer considered canon and is up for deletion.'' - WildX |
| | |
| We can turn the continents into articles if/when we can apply some ''good'' names to the entire landforms. Until then, I'll just list them generically as sub-categories, as per their alignment on the map.

| |
| I'll leave the old world information down here for archival purposes, just temporarily. The maps and regional information before were designed prior to the creation the new backstory and hence forth, do not apply to further development. We will keep them around for as long as they are being used to scavenge names and other material, which currently, they are.
