The world of Vesuvia: fan made map interpretation.
So I noticed @asra-moon was looking for someone to make a map of the world Vesuvia takes place in so I did that because I’m geography/ history nerd.
*click for better resolution.
This map is by no means pretty but allow me to explain myself.
1) This is an upside down map of the Roman Empire. Which is here in the modern world:
I did this for a few reasons.
• The devs have said that Vesuvia is a sea-side Mediterranean city-state.
• as far as racial diversity and equality, the Roman Empire was extremely advanced in this field, they even had a few minority Emperors.
• it is upside down because in The Arcana northern areas are warm and southern areas are cold, that is the exact opposite of how the Mediterranean is in our world, so I flipped it.
• Voting, election, and order were big in Rome. Nadia says this about Prakra quite a bit.
• Nadia’s parents are literally an Emperor and Empress.
• In Ancient Rome, there was a central Emperor and government. Then there would be people to preside over individual city-states, this would explain why Nadia is countess of Vesuvia, because her parents put her in that position.
3) Nevivon is in Ukraine.
• Julian and Portia look very Ukrainian/ Russian in my opinion.
•Also the names Ilya and Pasha are very Eastern European.
• So are the names Mazelinka and Lilinka.
• Portia and Julian grew up around pirates so I chose an area on the Black Sea.
4) And finally, Vesuvia is in Egypt.
• Asra is a native Vesuvian, he’s clearly middleastern/ North African/ Arabic.
• Asra, Aisha, and Salim are all Arabic names and Aisha wears a hijab.
• So Vesuvia has to be in a part of the Roman Empire that is middleastern/ North African/ Arabic.
• this is the canon map of Vesuvia and if you zoom in on the map of the Roman Empire provided, that area of Egypt looks exactly like the area Vesuvia is located on.
Anyway these are just my personal headcanons!
