Welcome to Quarios!
The second of my regional maps of Aeniith (please click here for the full version!). The first was Izoi, which has actually been a BIT modified since then to make it more geologically plausible. We go for accuracy in worldbuilding when it comes to systems like geology, economics, etc. 😛 Anyway…
Quarios is a single state nowadays, run by a consitutional monarchy, which is currently headed by Queen Inacaporia. The continent was, until pretty recently, made up of two sovereign states: Lomilin and Gotêvi. Incaporia was the Queen of Gotêvi and married a Prince of Lomilin, and they merged their lands.
In the north of Quarios, the weather is warm and humid most of the time, with mild winters. This is because Quarios is in the southern hemisphere. The southern most islands are frigid and cold. They are home two some ethnically distinct peoples known as the Teg and Phuli. These peoples speak their own languages (Teg and Phul) in addition to Gotevian. People living on the Lomilin side of Quarios (the west side) speak Lomi.
The northern port city of Naeglitan is where Elucuna arrives when she first getsto Quarios from Orikrindia (island nation to the north). She then travels with Glohitan to Valley of Voagry just to the southeast of there.
These maps are gorgeous ! I am loving the addition of the ships and settlements ! What is the area in the North-West (West from the Valley of Voagry) with all the different trees/plants ? It looks very intriguing.

Thanks! So that northwestern area is a swamp/marsh (think Everglades), with some bizarre creatures it in! I want to do a bestiary some time, maybe I’ll add some of those.

Again, it’s great to see a more detailed map of Quarios (along with some of the locations mentioned in Elucuna’s story!)
That’s a lovely style of map. I like the way it shows the change in climate from north to south. How large is Quarios? It looks about the size of North America…

Yeah, it is about 4/5 the size of North America, I would say.
