you cannot convince me that the Lost City of Erm was not a play on Um from the Discworld

kusttra ,

I am but a humble traveling troubadour of Lower Noblesse. Or that is what I would have you believe. In truth, I am an information broker and spy for Steel Anne, the infamous forest bandit, and her band of Jolly Fellows from the Robbin Woods.

Archpawn ,

That's still way more imaginative than anything I can do.

CptEnder ,

Hold up in my room at the pub in Boozy Bay sweating out the Elvish drugs and Orc rum, living my own Heart of Darkness.

Etterra ,

That's not fair. My wood elves are Reavers, my high elves are Nazis, and my drow are Morlocks.

Flushmaster ,

I'm either a cleric from the Abbey of St Whatever passing through Heroshire in my way to hunt monsters in Vampsylvania, or a spellcasting hermit of dubious sanity living in the Witchy Wood.

This looks like Eurasia if you nuked the ever living fuck out of the middle east.

Edit: Honestly this just looks like a post nuclear earth where we just kept dropping more nukes.

There's no way the Ice castle of the necrolord and the mountains of muscle aren't a Fire &Ice reference

Probably, although Martin was definitely not the first fantasy author to put a villainous faction/entity in the inhospitable frozen north, nor was he the first to have a villain with a zombie army.

Although I think the Mountains of Muscles are more likely just a border feature slapped in between the Necrolord and the ambiguous barbarians of the northern steppes, which are again a common trope but probably directly drawn from the barbarian tribes of Icewind Dale (Wulfgar's people in Forgotten Realms).

I believe op is referring to Bakshi’s Fire and Ice, not martin’s books. The rest of your point still stands though.

Etterra ,

Or Warcraft.

Jomega ,

This is actually a lot of work put into a supposedly generic map.

Nobody ,

I am but a humble doom miner, mining my doom.

Attaxalotl ,

I’m either one of the dragons or a resident of Wizarddidit

azrendelmare ,

Oh, this is lovely!

MonkderDritte ,

Simplified eurasia? Nice idea!

God this feels EXACTLY like Azeroth from World of Warcraft. But hey the dragons have some isles and eggs so I'm down for that, love me some dragons that are actually doing well in a setting

I live in the Doom Mines. I mine doom.

Honestly, it's not good for much and the economy has been trash lately, the mine has been flooding and wheat doesn't grow well here. I don't really see it getting much better any time soon.
