Numenua - Map of Ithakaya

"The lands of the 'New World'.

Ithakaya, in the minor tongue of the Wayrans, means "Land of Songs", and was named thus due to the rushing winds sounding like singing voices as they sweep across the tall grasses of the plains.

Ithakaya is the first real colonial venture and effort made by the Quetzulan Empire. The first Crystal Ships arrived some 100 years ago, as they passed across the cracks of the Weave and discovered a western route from Quetzula-Across-the-Seas.

Settlers of these lands refer to themselves as Itzuans, “People of the Songs”, more or less. As Itzuans, they belong to the Five Leagues; the ruling colonial powers of these lands."

Shards of Numenua

"For a time, there was Numen. Then the Nua came, and from Numen they crafted a city of Glass, and soon all was Numenua to them. But then the Shattering Glass struck, and Numenua was no longer one, but now many countless Shards.

While it is true that most has been forgotten of our Numenua because of the Ashen Curse, the Shards themselves never forgot. On these many, many Shards are worlds of their own; filled with peoples, creatures, lands, and kingdoms reborn.

Their histories might not be remembered, but the Shards' wear is visible to all. These are lands and realms that have been harrowed by the battles of gods, shaped by the hands of ancient beings, and branded by the ruined marks of mortal-kind.

Still, these are also worlds of great wonder, of forgotten and majestic landscapes, of rich and varied cultures, and of lost legacies waiting to be rediscovered and retaken."

Numenua - The Dusca

"The Dusca were one of the first Numenborn Ancestries, who grew as a result of being uplifted by Lamia Eidolons; through consuming Lamia blood, and mixing their Bloodlines together. From this union, the Dusca were further shaped by their Serpentblood, and the powers they obtained from it."

Numenua - Map of Pale's Rest

A settlement map that features a small town/waypost, set in the Numenua setting. Pale's Rest sits between the border of northern and southern Ithakaya, and acts as an important resting spot for settlers, explorers, and adventuring folk.

The full PNGs include variations for weather, night-time, and also has labelled/unlabelled versions.

I also wrote a small "mapguide" PDF to go with the map.

The map can be purchased here.

"The Mundi are a Kindred Ancestry with a strong connection to that of various stones and metals. Of all the Kindred Ancestries, Mundi look the most like the Ancient Humankin according to gods and scriptures, with their seemingly average and unremarkable appearances, though save for one very important and distinctive feature."

Numenua - The Harepps

"Harepps are Kindred who resemble hares and rabbits. They are known to be an overly abundant Ancestry, as they are found in all Shards across Numenua. Most of all, they're renowned for their fighting prowess, and many Harepps communities are that of warrior societies."

Numenua - The Ortan

"Ortans are believed to have firstly descended from mixed unions between various types of Giants and early Ortan Kindred. Later, at some unknown point in time, all Ortans were afflicted by a demonic corruption, which essentially made them half-demonic as well."
