Description

The Western Empire of Palladium Fantasy Roleplaying Game is a land of high adventure in a corrupt and decadent society. For those who don't care to crane their necks around the edge, here's the inscription.

"Led by a young, ambitious emperor, humanity's greatest and oldest nation is stronger than ever. Its armies have no rival, and its Black Demon Ships prowl the waves unchallenged. Toiling slaves make some rich and others jealous. Bold colonists press forth to tame new frontiers. The Western Empire seeks to rule many nations, but it cannot rule itself. The noble and wealthy wallow in hedonism, forbidden magic, and petty squabbles. Civil war looms as the Middle Kingdoms prepare to rebel; others may follow. In the east, settlers have enraged the barbarian tribes of the Old Kingdom, which gather to invade. In the west, the emperor has named no heir, and rivalries between his concubines threaten a war for succession upon his death. The looming conflicts will determine whether the Empire of Sin will rise to the height of its aspirations or succumb to its own corruptions as it has for the last six thousand years."

This is the third version of this map I'm posting. Here's the bare, unlabeled map. Here's the natural geography version. This version showcases the natural geographic features and regions within the scope of this map. It's based on the setting of the Palladium Fantasy Roleplaying Game by Palladium Books. Please don't sell or use this, prints of this, or any derivative of this work for anything other than your own private use.

Special thanks Arsheesh, whose tutorials I adapted to make the terrain, forests, curved labels, the smaller icons, and frame. His web page is here. Other tutorials I adapted to my purposes:
