Map of God's Nest

Atlas

A record of the known places of God's Nest — cities, ruins, sacred sites, and the stranger geographies that resist easy naming. Locations are grouped by region. The egg-shaped world continues to change, and not all of it has been charted.

The Tender Lands ✦ The Scar and its surroundings.

The Scar Ruins of Candorman's Hold

The Tender Lands Ruin

Where the human empire once stood. Now a vast desert of black sand and glass pillars, torn by magical storms and stalked by mutant beasts. Nothing has dared rehabilitate it.

The Tender Lands Settlement

A once-booming fishing village now struggling to survive. The magic of the Cataclysm still lingers in the nearby lake, and fishermen have been going missing at night.

Gamoran Peninsula ✦ Fill in when geography is established

Gamoran Peninsula's Hook Major City

Home of the Spire Elves, ruled by the Order of the Scarf and Sword. From afar it appears radiant — a labyrinth of sandstone spires. From within, it is a gilded necropolis.

Within Gamora Sacred Site

Seat of governance, military center, and ceremonial locus. Its visible architecture rests atop cavern systems far older than the city proper.

Southern Gamoran Peninsula Settlement

A few days outside Gamora, now under Order occupation. Guards posted at every entrance, constant patrols, strict curfews. Once far more populous than it is today.

[Region Name] ✦ Fill in when geography is established

[Region Name] City

A Wood Elf civilization built upon a felled archtree. The Order has attempted occupation numerous times and never succeeded. The Syralic do not take kindly to strangers.

[Region Name] ✦ Beneath Erth-Spine City

The opalized rootworks of the felled archtree, now a thriving Moon Elf civilization. Its walls flash kaleidoscopic pastels in the glow of bioluminescent fungi. Only the Wood Elves know the entrance.

[Region Name] ✦ Fill in when geography is established

[Region Name] Major City

Home of the Deep Elves, isolated on an island. A vertical labyrinth of stone spires and silk-woven bridges hanging inside a vast sinkhole. Open to trade, if not always to outsiders.

[Region Name] City

The most dangerous town on the map, and the most diverse. People are constantly coming and going. Organized crime thrives here. The king is gearing up for a full raid.

The Northern Wastes ✦ Fill in when geography is established

Yanagita The Singing Country

The Northern Wastes Major City

Built in terraced rings down the sides of an active caldera. Its founder's soul is trapped in a music box that grows louder every year. The city does not know it is doomed.

The Northern Wastes ✦ Beneath Yanagita Natural Feature

A vast lava-filled caldera near the Nest's north pole. Prevented from erupting by the Vajra — a device built from sacrifice and love. The nomadic Dwa'w know it will eventually fail.

[Region Name] ✦ Fill in when geography is established

[Region Name] Major City

Born from a mirage made real. Home of the Sha, split by the sacred river Aur. Impossibly lush for a desert — and quietly fighting a war to keep it that way as the river begins to run black.

[Region Name] Natural Feature

Sacred Sites & Hidden Places ✦ Not bound to any one region

Beneath an early Deep Elf settlement Sacred Site

A single rounded chamber at the exposed terminus of a yolk-vein. The dead here do not decay. Flames burn without fuel. The path to it has grown perilous and half-forgotten. It remains capable of birthing a god.

Outer Planes & Other Dimensions ✦ Beyond God's Nest proper

Khalashar The Big City / The Withered Palace

Unreality ✦ Within The Nothing Outer Plane

Not truly a city but a phenomenon. It cannot be mapped, only wandered. You do not arrive at Khalashar — you find yourself there. If you do not belong, it will forget you until you are Nothing.
