Pentia A-Z: G is for Garden of the Masters
The Garden of the Masters, or Garden of Greats, is a burial site lying outside of the Talonian capital. There, the great Masters of the past are buried in their tombs. From afar, the buildings of the garden that house the dead are low and hidden from view, beneath growth and behind hills. Within the cover […]

Pentia A-Z: E is for Exile
This Exile is not the aforementioned POV character “The Exile”. It also stands for a landmark in the southern nation of Sola. It is the name of the westernmost mountain of the Cloud Tops, and for the immediate surrounding lands at the foot of the mountain. Beneath Exile lies a labyrinth of natural dark tunnels […]

Capital City: Talon Estimated total population: 2,948,718 Estimated military size (absolute maximum strength): 115,000 Typical appearance and social/cultural traits: Talonians have brown hair and brown eyes.

Shocking Revelation! from an early (awful) map drawing
I found this map in my pictures folder a few days ago. I’m happy that I saved it because it was fun, even funny, to see how my original idea has changed over time. This is the very first map attempt I made. I drew it on my laptop using Paint. Something very weird happened […]

Estimated total population: 400,000 Estimated military size (at absolute full strength): 12,000 Typical appearance and social/cultural traits: Citizens of Penta come from all over the world, but typically they live in the separate district for their own nation. Each of the five outer districts is located on the opposite side from the nation’s actual location on […]
National Cultures of Pentia: Intro
Just a short intro and news post today. I am currently chipping away at a few posts that preview my different nations a little more closely. Since I have a visual of the world map on the blog now, I thought it would be a great idea. These posts will be basic profiles of each […]
POLL!: Whose side are you on?
Hello readers! It’s poll time. Now that the map for the blog is complete and posted, I ask you, whose side are you on? and possibly as part of your answer, where would you choose to live? Please have a quick look at the map to decide on your top two choices, then feel free […]
World Map Feature #6: Final Blog Version
This is the near-final version of my hand-made world map. I actually finished this a long time ago, and have been releasing it in pieces, on purpose. Here are all the names of the major players in Pentia. You may have noticed the similarity between the names Sola and Pola. These are the two nations […]
Pentia A-Z: B is for Blesina
Blesina is the new capital city of the Banished People. It is situated on a north-west corner of the large, south-east island (full map will be up soon). The city has an “oversized” port (much larger than the above picture), but little else is known. The island is mostly a mystery as its new inhabitants […]
World Map Feature #5: Large Cities, Minor Cities
Plenty more locations in this edition. These are all of the major cities in this world. Those with a diamond are the capitals from last week, while the squares are cities with populations higher than two-hundred thousand, and the circles are smaller populations. Each was once its own city-state but most now have allegiance to […]
World Map Feature #4: Capital Cities
Here they are! Now we can see where these people actually live. Five mainland national capitals, two newcomer cities, the banished island capital, and the central shared city. These are the political centres of this world, where major decisions for good or bad are made. Like any real nations, each has its own unique political […]
Pentia A-Z: A is for Askar
Askar is both the name of a city and a nation. The city of Askar, the capital of the north-east nation, houses the Askarian King and his household. The city is not the largest in the nation, but is central to politics and international trade. Much of the nation’s population lives in a harsh and […]
World Map Feature #3: Hills, Forests, and Dunes
Map 3 has a few more landscape additions, like the title suggests. Not too much here, but next week I’ll be adding the capitals, followed by all cities, and then most likely labels for everything. Forests provide obstacles for travel, cover for those wishing to escape, and for one nation, isolation from the world allowing […]
World Map Feature #2: Mountains and Water
The first map I posted was just an outline. Here I have added mountains, rivers, lakes, and a title. Note that the rivers you see here are the larger, main rivers of the story. There are of course smaller bodies of water everywhere, like there is in our own geography. I said in one of […]
