      Until I saw the desert I thought this was a map of New Zealand. Just some weird projection map.

    How’d you get a map of my dnd setting?

    ok, it’s not a perfect match, but it’s close enough that I feel called out by it.

    Off the top of my head this is at least Tamriel and the last airbender Continent to a T

      This is Tamriel if you replace East Asia stuff with Dark Elves, which… are actually not that far from that to begin with.

      No? This is a bunch of Tolkien tropes + Conan the Barbarian + a bunch of shuffled around real world cultures.

      The Last Airbender continent was mostly China, with the fire nation being steampunk imperial Japan. At the poles there were the Inuit-inspired water benders and the Air Benders were Tibetan monks except spread around all over the place on mountaintops.

      There weren’t any Egyptian pyramids or nomadic steppe peoples that I can remember being portrayed in Avatar, and there certainly weren’t any elves, orcs, dwarves, wizards, or barbarians from the icy north.

    I like how “Norway” and “Japan” are still clearly visible… Is this the world but based? No America, barely any Europe, Africa no larger than it needs to be…

      Nah, that’s because Norway and Japan have been fetishized so much that any generic setting needs a Viking-Land and a Samurai-Land.
