Gadash, The Ancient Continent of Heroes

[TK.]

Gadash is the main continent of my personal RPG setting, Infis, set with GURPS ruleset.

This continent is where all the main "modern" cities and hubs are present, among them:

- Whitetemple, The Greatest Capital of the West - governed by the senatorial Polis with its political warfare among the many human nobles hiding within its many circles the League of Extraordinary Beings and the Disciples of Aristotle, ideological rival groups of psionics-capable humans (only humans can flourish psionics) ;
- The Wayfarer Union Trading Center - The merchant hub of the world, connecting all the important and medium merchant routes between east and west, south and north Gadash, the place is ruled by the Twelve Dons, Oloroks (mineral-rocky sentient beings) of immense wealth and power that meet regularly to waggle world-class economics and deals of trade in all sorts of commons, these meetings know as "Cosa Nostra";
- The desert magical wonder, Uberdome, a split multi-leveled flying pyramid of humongous proportion, powered by raw Magika and Technomagik®, home of the inventive and magical race, The Briskans. Creators of the Press, Steam-powered engines fulled by Technomagik®, they also run the prestigious Briskan Academy;
- The temple-city of Kashmadik, the biggest concentration of Faz'rukin (Half-spirit/half-material beings), also the birth place of "Haqam, The Usurper", a faz'ruk that achieved godhood through the "1001 Teachings of Yeowhá" and fought against "Dyazztrazz, The All-Devouring Maw"
- And many, many others!

**EDIT**
Just to add some meta info, dunno if people like it, but I always like these kind of "easter eggs" of sorts:

- All Sidhe cities and places are from Gäelic names - Gwynlein feud uses gaelic names starting with "A"; Fiona feud uses gaelic names starting with "B"; Sorak feud uses gaelic names starting with "C"
- Almost all Olorok cities and places use names of types of salami or cheese, with a slightly change in some letters and their families and lineages use names of famous mafia families
- All the Human hideouts after they broke free from slavery under the Ad'yzztrals are collectively called "Quilombos" and use real names from historical brazilian quilombos https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quilombo
- Nomadic tribes settlements use mongolian names from different ages
- Ad'yzztral cities and feuds use japanese resembling names



Done in Photoshop CS6
Took around 30hs of work.
My next goal is to polish my skills with more subtle effects, better composition, more variation on hand-drawn elements (drawing everything instead of creating/using a single brush) and trying a full-color style
