Map Idea by Brunty

Brunty's description on the map
"The purple represents the territory of the Mad Alliance. The green represents the territory of the Forest Creed. The pink represents the territory of the Temple of Four. The gray represents Dale. The black dot represents the city of Necropolis. The orange represents the Kingdom of Elbatorix. The bright yellow represents the territory of the Dwarves of the Sacred earth. The other yellow of course represents the desert and the dark blue the ocean.

The left-most province, after the desert, is a Great Forest by the name of Lumix which is the home of elves. The middle province used to be Izallia, the home of humans, but is now split into North Izallia and South Izallia. The right-most province is kind of like the desert but is instead filled with rocky mountains where the Dwarves live. The province is called Elbatorix."
