    Default Kosmos - Circular world of floating islands

    Hi, first post here.
    This is the setting of an RPG that Im sort of writing on. From time to time. But Im pretty satisfied with the way the map came out. Its in swedish, so some of the place names might be hard to understand. But, I hope youll enjoy it anyway.

    Its actually some sort of navigation device, hence the arrows and such. Its actullay quite complicated and Im not sure Ill be able to explain it in english, bur basicly you turn the the "horizons" so the islands circle around the suns (yes, the black one is a black sun )

    Welcome! Putting a map in your first is great, and worth a bit of reputation all by itself. But I would award rep just for the map - well done!

    How would you imagine a physical version, "in-story"? Paper? Or perhaps enamel on sheet metal, almost like jewelry?

    Thanks!

    Ive actually been playing with the idea of a 3d printed version, coated with some sort of brass colour. I think of it as a sort of sextant. If I ever get to point of actually play the game I might even do it!

    More than being a navigational instrument, its also a sort of astrolabe (google it and see where I got the idea) able to predict coming confluxes (a game term for cataclysmic events).
