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.

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 - 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.
