do you mind if i use this map/make a map inspired by yours for my au?? (i love steppes and there needs to be more. criminal underrepresentation of those in canon.)
Sorry for the late response, but yes!! Go ahead <33 I'd love to see it!
(I looked through your blog for a quick minute so sorry if this question as already been answered!)
Will you ever do a redesign of Pantala? No pressure im just really curious what your thoughts would be
Yes, I plan to! I don't know when I'll get to that and it might not be for a long time, but I hope that at least when all the Pyrrhian tribes are fleshed out, then I can start on that. I'm open to suggestions :]
Answered more in-depth here, but to put it simply, to give all the tribes a bit more land to work with, and to give Thorne and I more opportunity for different biomes and climates.
Changing the overall shape of the landmass & rotating it slightly allowed us to somewhat match it with continental North America in terms of climate mapping.
And also it just looks cool! It's different, but still dragon shaped, and still clearly intended to be Pyrrhia :]

i see that there’s tribe redesigns section in your masterpost, which i’m super excited to see! have you begun to work on any of the redesigns yet?
Yes! I have some older concepts on my main blog but I plan on redoing them or at least touching them up, and giving them some more material.
Several of the tribes already have their base redesigns done, and I just need to give them their extras and whatnot, like wingspan/wing design, babies/eggs, dimorphism, etc.
Speaking of,
Which tribe redesign are you interested in seeing first?
I guess it's up to interpretation if you'd like, but not exactly what I intended haha
Think of it in terms of a continent from the real world. While a lot of the far north regions of larger continents IRL are cooler for most of the year, it's actually only completely snow-covered year-round at the highest altitudes and much closer to the poles. But the majority of IceWing territory is snow-covered during the winter!
Thorne and I mapped out the climates in a way that's relatively similar to continental North America.
Here's a comparison of our Pyrrhia sized next to ALL of North America (this is how they would look side by side if Pyrrhia existed):
There's still a lot of fantasy climate placement going on, but at the very least is somewhat believable (imo at least, a real scientist might disagree).
You'll notice that the desert & rainforest are FAR bigger than anything that exists on earth irl today, but to be completely fair, everything is untouched by industrial capitalism and the story revolves around gigantic flying reptiles.
Answering this in a post rather than a reply so others can see it!
@ravnfang
I was motivated to change a lot of Pyrrhia's shape as a landmass so I could include more biomes like the grasslands, mesa, savanna, foothills, etc!
It also let Thorne and I calculate where biomes would realistically be placed according to the equator, and being able to put IceWings even farther north than in canon allowed the existence of the desert & the rainforest in relatively canon locations, within reason. Climatology and ecology is cool!
Here's the actual raw biome placement we had mapped out! The final result of the map looks a little different because I couldn't make things perfectly exact, especially because of color blending, but it gives you an idea of just how many unique climates there are due to the edited continent shape & the sheer size of the world.
(Who knows, maybe one day I'll go back and remake the map of Pyrrhia again with even more faithfulness to Thorne's climates.)
As for the NightWing island, it's canonically quite far away, but I decided to make it even farther for sense of scale. A volcano the size of the one on the NightWing island would produce enough smoke and ash that it would be noticeable from a huge distance. After all, in the story it's mentioned that most young NightWings don't even know the sky is really blue! It's difficult for them to even know the time of day. They can't see that far from where they live.
It's almost equivalent to an extinction-level event eruption. Here's a somewhat similar visual of a volcano from space:
So for the volcano to not be noticed at all by ANY other tribe (especially IceWings who, at least in my HC, spend weeks gliding out at sea), it would need to be an exhaustive distance. Still not as far of a flight as Pantala though! :D
Thank you so much for asking!! I love answering questions like this /gen
How did you make that map?? It looks really good and i’be been looking FOREVER for a website that can make maps really good!! (Of course that’s assuming that it is a website)
I used the Inkarnate browser app! It's free for a lot of features but for certain map sizes & custom stamps and certain tools you need premium. It's only like 5$ a month/25$ a year though! It's super well priced for what it offers
It takes some practice and ultimately it took me well over a year before I was happy with my final product! But I'm just autistic and nitpicky lmao

Edited the map of Pyrrhia slightly to include a few more points of interest (POIs) and smooth out some biome borders.
I've also included a full version of the map with all the POI labels visible, and one that's completely blank so you can place your own POIs and labels if you want!
You have my full permission to use the map in your own headcanons, roleplays, and other stuff. (Just as long as credit to Thorne and I is given if you're posting it somewhere publicly, or if someone asks who made it.)
Roughly 1.5x the size of North America, Pyrrhia is the largest continent inhabited by dragons.
Despite it's monumental size, very few areas on the map are considered un-owned territory, with even fewer areas being considered unexplored entirely.
Thanks to the continent's huge climate range, Pyrrhia has the most dragon tribe diversity of any landmass, hosting seven tribes in their entirety.
This includes: SkyWings, IceWings, SandWings, MudWings, RainWings, NightWings and SeaWings.
IceWing Territory
The Ice Kingdom, inhabited primarily by IceWings, is a large peninsula in the far north, also including a smaller cape just slightly south. It borders both the Sky Kingdom and the Kingdom of Sand.
While a large portion of IceWings live within the walls of the Ice Palace (an extravagant city compared to most other palaces), the majority live in villages and towns along the Ice Kingdom's coast.
This is ideal for most, since the primary food source of IceWings are fish & sea-faring birds and mammals. However, it's not uncommon to find an IceWing family or two living further inland, hunting elk and other land-dwelling prey.
While only a relatively small portion of IceWing territory remains snowy year-round, the entire territory all the way down to Where-No-Dragon-Goes-Hungry can be seen blanketed in ice and snow during the winter months.
SkyWing Territory
The Sky Kingdom is home to the SkyWings, and is the largest land-based dragon-claimed territory on the map, give or take. Their territory borders several other kingdoms, including the Kingdom of the Sea, Ice Kingdom, Mud Kingdom, and the Kingdom of Sand.
Being quite physically big and territorial compared to most other dragons, SkyWings demand much more space (and use of such space) than their neighbors, despite there being much fewer of them overall.
By technicality, the Sky Kingdom encompasses the entire Pyrrhian mountain range; although the SkyWings living any farther south than the Diamond Spray Delta tend not to argue about where borders are drawn, so long as they get a good night's sleep.
SkyWings tend to live solitarily or in pairs/family units, with the exception of those living in the Sky Palace working for the current Queen.
Due to this, there are very few dedicated SkyWing towns or villages, with most SkyWings opting instead to pick out an ideal cave in the mountains to call home. This is of course not absolute, and there are many SkyWings living in harmony in bordering towns and cities with other tribes, some being SkyWing dominant.
MudWing Territory
The Mud Kingdom is home to the MudWings; the tribe of the largest land-dwelling dragons in the world. Their kingdom borders the Sky Kingdom, the Kingdom of the Sea and the Rainforest Kingdom.
Despite their size, they actually don't hold the largest amount of territory. Being rather sedentary, they typically never need more than the average pond to themselves and their siblings.
MudWing territory consists of a variety of land types, with the standard swamps and marshes; but also including bamboo forests, floodplains, sparse rainforest and grasslands. This variety in biome gives them plenty of agricultural opportunity, making MudWings one of the largest exporters of both plant and animal produce.
Their rich land also provides an abundance of earthen materials that other tribes covet for their own uses in construction, pottery and other types of craftsmanship; including kaolinite and other clays, calcite, etc!
RainWing Territory
The Rainforest Kingdom is home to the RainWings, the tribe of the smallest and most numerous dragons on the continent. Their kingdom borders the Mud Kingdom and the Kingdom of the Sea.
RainWings live communally, and thus are not separated into several towns. Rather, all RainWings (for the most part) share a single village that extends quite far throughout the rainforest, held together by the Queen's Royal Pavilion (marked on the map as the RainWing Village).
Although, since the events of the NightWing exodus from the Volcano, there lies a single other village amongst the jungle. Some RainWings find it comfortable enough to live there with the NightWing refugees, but don't prefer it.
The rainforest is a dragon's ultimate destination for near any kind of exotic fruit, flower, or animal. While RainWings used to be the top exporter of their tropical produce, these days the MudWings have taken on the task of growing orchards and vineyards, while the RainWings keep to themselves.
SeaWing Territory
SeaWing territory, home to the SeaWings, is technically the largest dragon-claimed territory on earth; this is because the vast majority of their inhabited space is underwater, and thus there is very little competition for territory. The land they control however, is the smallest compared to any other tribe, consisting mostly of small islands and islets.
Their territory borders the Rainforest Kingdom, Mud Kingdom and Sky Kingdom.
Despite being the largest kind of dragon on the planet, they are incredibly numerous due to the abundance of food and territory.
SeaWings live communally, but are spread across several habitable zones, including the Deep Palace and Summer Palace (their primary homes), and various island caves, huts, deep sea trenches, and sea stacks.
They are also partially migratory, spending warmer springs and summers in the Summer Palace, and living deeper underwater through autumn and winter.
SandWing Territory
The Kingdom of Sand, controlled by the SandWings, is the third largest land-based dragon territory on the continent. Consisting of vast dunes and open savannas, this desert environment isn't suitable for most other tribes.
Their kingdom borders the Sky Kingdom and the Ice Kingdom.
Despite their large quantity of land, SandWings are actually not very high in population; more than SkyWings or especially NightWings, but fewer than most.
SandWings are largely nomadic, not living in one particular place for their whole lives; instead relying on sparse oases and rivers spread throughout the desert, and traveling around for food.
Some SandWings, particularly those seeking refuge and safety from war, may choose to spend most of their time in small cities like the Scorpion Den, or border towns like Possibility and Sanctuary. Even then, many prefer to stay on their feet and travel often, reserving their town homes for sleep, rough weather or retirement.
Similarly, many SandWings working for royalty may choose to live in the Stronghold.
NightWing Territory
NightWing territory, the smallest and most uninhabitable, is home to the declining population of NightWings. It does not directly border any other kingdoms, but does have an animus-conjured portal to the Rainforest Kingdom.
Despite all the odds, NightWings manage to survive here on the small (near completely ash-polluted) ponds dotting the island, and by using desalination devices to convert seawater into drinkable water.
The prey on their volcanic home is close to non-existent; consisting almost entirely of occasional seabirds, crabs, beached sea turtles, and fish caught far out at sea using nets; although as time goes on, fewer NightWings are in good enough health to carry fish-filled nets back home.
Their fortress is half-collapsed due to a volcanic eruption, and the air is so hot, heavy and sulphuric that one might find it almost impossible to breathe if you hadn't been born there. What a pity.
Version with ALL Points of Interest
Blank Version
*You may use the blank version of the map for personal things as long as credit to Thorne & I is given! Tag me if you do :D I'd love to see!
This has been in the works probably the longest of anything I've made in relation to my WoF headcanons. I swear I've redone this entire map 3 or 4 times. After a year and a half, hopefully this is the last!!
I hope y'all like it!!
Huge thanks to my friend Thorne for her contributions to the climate placing, I wouldn't have been able to make it look at ALL natural without her help.
If you have any questions or suggestions for edits/additions please let me know! My ask box is open too.
