Work In Progress Bare Mercury

Bare Mercury is the name of my world. It is a transparent substance that looks like water, but it is actually a poison with a deceptively pleasant taste. The main character constantly struggles to achieve his goal, yet he refuses to give up on his dream, even if pursuing it ultimately leads to his death.

To sail west and discover lands that everyone has forgotten.

Made in QGIS. I wonder how different Europe would look by the 15th century if the sea level was always this high?

Inspired by a post by u/AdmirableZombie1023, I decided to give it a try to put my fictional continent of Yalera into the Google Maps style. How'd I do? If you have any questions about the map or lore of the world, just ask.

Map Medieval GPS of Tír Ghlas

Post image
8 Upvotes

I'm working on a rather unusual map of Tír Ghlas, my fictional medieval world.

This time, instead of drawing a conventional geographical map, I'm trying to recreate the style of the 13th-century monk and cartographer Matthew Paris, particularly his famous strip maps showing the route from London to Jerusalem.

The idea is to represent the main roads of Tír Ghlas as a medieval traveller might have seen them: a succession of towns, villages, landmarks, and useful information, rather than a geographically accurate representation of the landscape.

The imaginary author of this map is Brother Venanzio, a travelling monk who has taken it upon himself to describe the roads of Tír Ghlas for the benefit of future travellers. He records towns, inns, markets, dangerous places to avoid, and anything else he considers worth mentioning. You can even see himself in the bottom corner, warning travellers about a particularly dangerous forest!

I'm using a mixture of Latin and Irish Gaelic for the place names and annotations, and trying to imitate the lettering and illustrations of medieval manuscripts.

This is still very much a work in progress: I've only completed part of the first strip, and there's a long road ahead!

Everything is hand-drawn, with ink on paper.

I want to make my own fictional countries provinces, municipalities and cities expandable and contractible and also a geographical terrain map of the heights and rivers. Not a country generator, something where you can draw the country's shape since most I find are AI fantasy world generators. I know there are pages for that since my friend sent me one but I can't remember the name. Preferably free since I am a student, I'm already 18 and I don't have savings.
