Sea of Dreams  
 
 

 

On the misty strand between heaven and earth, the tides of fate ebb and flow. The world of Somnus' fate is one bound to an ancient devourer, one that was challenged long ago by a lone woman. A woman who desired to change her own cruel fate, defying the "destiny" set forth for her world. With the aid of others unseen, she was able to make the beast slumber, at the cost of her own life. Centuries later, humanity has advanced in strides, but deep in the darkest reaches of the planet, a malevolent force wishes to resume its catastrophic enterprise. The cogs of Kismet begin to turn once again, comprised of the undying souls of those who inhabit the cosmos, each with a destiny that will transform the entire world. Will it be for good? Or for evil? Only the tumultuous waters and clouded vistas of the Sea of Dreams hold the clues.....

  Geography  
 
 

 

 

 Somnus is a world of diverse physical geography, ranging from mid-altitude drylands, thick forests, sprawling mountain ranges, infertile steppes, whispy deserts and sub-tropical island chains. Among the most mysterious features is the Sea of Dreams, a deep and foggy labrynth at sea, subject of folklore and legends of treasure. Many have disappeared when venturing inside, and the nature of this region is forgotten to time. 

 

Note: This map is current as of Chapter 3. If new locations are added, the map will be updated. This map is not a complete view of the world, and more continents are subject to creation. Additionally, climate pictured is based on altitude, and details not shown will be added during role-play. Use this map at your own risk! For a full version of the map, see this link.

 

 

 
 
  Rules  
 
 

Rule 1: Walls - IC and OoC are a big deal. If you're a jerk IC, it's cool. If you're a jerk OoC I have two words for you. Ban Hammer.
