The Islands of Maraalika

This week – an introduction to the rowdiest place in the hemisphere.  If you have a pirate/privateer campaign planned, this would be the place.  Tropical breezes.  Tropical storms.  Tropical drinks.  Little pink umbrellas (no, not really).  “Riotous” is the best word: colors, sights, sounds, animals and plants, weather, overlord dragons.

Maraalika Ho!

Have a great weekend!

Chirayu

This week’s blog takes a look at the island of Chirayu.  It’s a little smaller than Australia.  Where Australia is like a baked potato, Chirayu is like a rumpled wizard’s hat, so although shore to shore it’s about the same length, it’s about a third smaller in square mileage. I haven’t parsed the math, so don’t hold me to that.

This is an equatorial/tropical island, and you can read all about it here: Chirayu

 

I’m still trying to get the site to do what I want: namely a banner, and a featured image.  If you have any suggestions on how to do that with this theme, or with another theme that has seriously nested menus, I’m listening.  🙂

Have a great weekend, and for those of you celebrating Easter, Happy Easter!

The Eastern Islands

The islands east of Bhaskara are called the Tuta Hua Zamin – the Fractured Lands.  You could just as easily call them the fractious lands – the dragons and their people are lively, excitable, and often fighting each other.  If Bhaskara is a calm middle-class neighborhood, the Islands are a riotous bazaar.

Bhaskara

The Continent of Bhaskara

This week, an overview of the continent of Bhaskara.  The place is big.  I mean, really big.  You don’t realize how big until you start comparing it to Terra.  It’s about the same size as the old U.S.S.R. – go look at a globe.  I need a math geek to help me parse the square mileage, and I’ll update the page with that information when I get it.  🙂

Enjoy the post, and have a great weekend!

Tohafa

This week is all about the Lord of Mohanshu: Tohafa.  He’s not a nice guy, but he’s not evil like Janesh or Bhay.  He just wants to know how things work, and he’s willing to pull them apart to find out.

You can read the full description here: Tohafa

I also found a discrepancy between the description of Pahara and the one of Bhay.  I made minor alterations to both pages to fix the discrepancy.  🙂

Next week I’ll write an overview of the continent of Bhaskara.  I’m also going to adjust the look of the website – the list of pages is getting unwieldy, and I want it to be easy to navigate.  I may go through several of the WordPress themes, trying to find one that works just right.  🙂  Please excuse the mess as we remodel.

If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions – about either the content or the look/navigation of the site – please post them!  I’d love to hear from you.

Have a great weekend everyone, and I’ll see you next week.

Mohanshu

This week is the overview of the last “country” on the continent of Bhaskara: Mohanshu.  It’s a diverse place, in both geography and biology.   I hope you enjoy the write up.

You can find it all here: Mohanshu

Enjoy your weekend!

Real Life stuff

Sadly, Real life conspired to interrupt the blogging.  There was a pretty serious accident outside our house yesterday and, although the driver seems to be okay, it was still unnerving.  I’ve been dealing with RL stuff since, including getting our telephone pole replaced, and just generally dealing with people I don’t know, under circumstances I don’t care for.  I’ll return next week with an overview of Mohanshu, the last “nation” on the continent of Bhaskara.  In the mean time, I wish you all well, and have a good weekend. 🙂

The Terror of Mhadhavi

This week’s blog is an overview of the ruler of Mhadhavi.  His name means “terror” and it’s appropriate.  Using D&D alignments, this guy epitomizes chaotic evil.

Read the full article here: Bhay

The photograph this week is one of mine, meant to represent the tangled nature of the Mhadhavi forest.  It tells me that I need to get out and take more pictures. 🙂

Mhadhavi Forest

This week is about the Mhadhavi forest.  As you can guess, it has lots of trees.  It also has humans and elves working together in harmony because, well, that’s the only they can survive when the Lord of Mhadhavi goes a-hunting.

Read the full blog here: Mhadhavi

The photograph this week is one of mine.  It’s actually a very peaceful spot, but we don’t have white water around here so peaceful it is.

Lord of Akshay

This week’s blog is about Havadar, ruler of Akshay.  He’s a hands-off sort of ruler who prefers to watch his domain from the sky rather than to rule from the ground.  In personality, he’s a stereotypical surfer dude: It’s all good, man.  However, he’s a deep and philosophical thinker, more prone to pondering life, the universe, and everything than his fellow dragons are.

You can read the full blog here: Havadar

The photograph is mine. 🙂
