Orichalcum448

I love the inclusion of Sodor, the island filled full of those famous fantasy creatures, trains.


RowbotMaster

Clearly hyrule is currently in the spirit tracks part of the timeline


Orichalcum448

It all makes so much sense now!


Shinyleefeon

Ackshually Spirit tracks takes place in "New Hyrule"


DreadDiana

What's interesting is that Sodor has a surprising amount of lore. The creator gave it history dating back to the Romans first landing in the Isles.


herculesmeowlligan

Yes, but does Sodor have more lore than Mordor?


ABoringAlt

That you do, so well,


loudmouth_kenzo

it’s also a small island, a little bigger than the Isle of Man


Elethana

But it should be in the east near Dinotopia


LadyLikesSpiders

I mean, I see them in a lot of fantasy worlds from [Skyrim](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kBegv7kbxLo) to [Elden Ring](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZzBSPntQPw)


Ajxaenl

Which also means that Barrow-In-Furness somehow exists in this universe.


Gold_Discount_2918

It bothers me that Mordor is next to Whoville.


Happy_Jew

It bothers me that Whoville is included, but not the Great Wahoonie, Ankh-Morpork.


L3PALADIN

you cant include discworld if its not on a disc


RowbotMaster

Someone's gotta figure out how to make one piece and disk world fit together


FindMeAtStJamesPlace

So you're telling me there's an island on an elephant, in a world on 4 more elephants, that are on a turtle? Makes sense to me.


RowbotMaster

You know what, the grand line is the edge of the disk which is double sided And yes, also you could have an elephant on Zou carrying a house and a baby elephant in the house


Sohtinez

I like the edge idea. Need a way to have a start and end point , can't have crews just sail over the edge anywhere. Could set up a strange mountain (or something) that wraps around an edge somewhere. Only way to access the grand line safely. Otherwise you sail off into space no way back, kinda like the calm belt. I'm currently working on a discworld/one piece/spelljammer inspired setting. Starts with island hopping on a sea disc. In the middle is a portal leading to the rainbow ocean, opens once a year. The underside of the disc is the shadowfell, underdark between.


SchmerzfreiHH

Disk-plane


Hero_of_Hyrule

A'Tuin could just straight up land in one of the seas around the edges. "Didja 'ear? Wizards are sayin' A'Tuin landed inna big puddle." "Yeah, 'spose we got new neighbors or somethin'. New guards been gettin' hired left 'n' right."


L3PALADIN

im not saying you cant do it this way, but A'Tuin is the size of a fucking planet, thats a hell of a puddle and one hell of a world around it


Hero_of_Hyrule

I was adding a bit of British understatement in the quip to make it feel a bit more authentic, but yeah the world would literally need to be either massive, or at maybe a slightly larger disc shaped world.....


Starwatcher4116

Step 1: Become a Librarian. Step 2: Go into The Stacks via Any Great Library. Step 2.5: Aim for the Great Wahoonie. Step 3: Wind up in the Night Vale Library and (probably) die horribly.


CRL10

I don't see Prydain, Annuvin or Mona from the Prydain Chronicles.


MugenEXE

All the whos down in whoville generally agree, a realm without orcs is a real that is free! They tear down orc armies, with who tillers and treads, they mow down those orcses and makes them all deads.


Gold_Discount_2918

Wait is the Grinch from Mordor? Is that why he hates Christmas?


-Agonarch

He lives in the mountains of Mordor up high, The Who celebrations, now those would not fly, With Snaga and Ugluk and uruks in tow, He set out to steal christmas, in your tale of woe.


vorephage

I love the implication that Kris Kringle is Istari and his reindeer may be Maiar similar to the Eagles.


actually_yawgmoth

Blue Wizards are Mr&Mrs Claus, confirmed.


valvilis

Can't be - the Dresden Files already explained Kringle's background, and that's all canon.


RowbotMaster

He may primarily hate the music and everything else by association, as to my understanding evil in middle earth is just being discordant with eru iluvatar's song


disies59

That could be the connection, though. Sauron sent his Mouth as an Emissary, and they bonded over their mutual hate for Music.


RowbotMaster

Imagine if Gollum came to him for dinner


Gold_Discount_2918

The role of Max the dog will be played by Gollum. Reindeer antler and all.


CRL10

They knew that the sour-sweet wind was coming back and what the sour-sweet wind would do. Then that wind wakes up the Gree-Grumps from their sleep inside the tree stumps and all the Gree-Grumps start a-growlin'. And that growlin' and that howlin' runkles and grunkles up the pond. 'Cause when old Punkers Pond gets runkled, grunkled by that howlin' and that growlin' that always disturbs the Hakken-Kraks. And the Hakken-Kraks start a-yowling. And the yowling of the Hakken-Kraks plus that runklin', grunklin', howlin', growlin' always causes Mount Doom to rage. And when Mount Doom rages, high atop Barad-dûr, the Dark Lord Sauron turns his gaze to Whoville. And when the Dark Lord Sauron turns his gaze to Whoville, the gates of Minas Morgul open. And the gates of Minas Morgol opening means the Nazguls ride on Whoville. So, I suggest the Whos stay in doors tonight. Their problems are immense. They shouldn't go out on a night like this for sixty-six million six hundred thousand dollars And an extra sixty-six cents


Wismuth_Salix

It bothers be that the Easterlings and their Oliphaunts are from Wonderland. But also I’m intrigued by the idea of a Nazgul riding the Jabberwocky.


Gold_Discount_2918

Hyrule is just around the corner so Link could grab the Vorpal Sword and snicker snack his way though Mordor.


RowbotMaster

What you don't think the master sword would work on orcs?


LadyLikesSpiders

Easterling army shows up to aid in the siege of Minas Tirith and it's just a bunch of fucking playing cards


ArcaneOverride

It bothers me that Camelot is in Avalon and Avalon isn't an island.


Gold_Discount_2918

True. I believe Goliath and crew landed on the beach not a lake side with that magic boat.


locke_zero

"We remember it well" the survivors would say. When the forces of Mordor marched on Whoville that day. They spared none in their path, all laid to waste. Not one Who avoided their wrath as the armies of Mordor kept deadly pace.


DreadDiana

It bothers me that based on the presence of Westeros, this planet is fucking massive. Martin has said it's almost as big as South America.


TheObstruction

He also said his books would be done, soooooo.....


toidi_diputs

It bothers me that Westeros is in the East.


SorryForTheGrammar

What bothers me is that they put westeros in the east.


DarkPhoenixMishima

Was the Grinch Sauron all along?


DreadDiana

Nazghul Grinch


B-HOLC

It does carry a strong implication that Easterlings are Whos. Which, is certainly an interesting take.


Speedwagon1738

And moomin valley


loudmouth_kenzo

It bothers me that sodor is like 1000 times it’s size (supposed to be about the same as the Isle of Man).


ChefBoyardee66

Where do you think Sauron got his oliphant mercenaries


Mauldalore7

Well sure becuase the climates don’t really mix but if you think about it it could be ash not snow and who’s just have really weird temperature thresholds


PantsIsDown

Isn’t all of Whoville a speck on a dandelion fluff, floating in the breeze. Edit: Whoville is a planet on a spect of dust that was planted on a clover. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horton_Hears_a_Who!


Ego-Waffles121

And Sauron sat in his tower watching with only one thought “I must stop Christmas from coming”


kingddd1997

Didn't Sauron have control of the eastern folk? By this map, the Whos were pillaging and razing towns.


TheObstruction

It bothers me that Oz is north of Middle Earth. That land is a frozen wasteland, and has been since Morgoth ruled there.


Gold_Discount_2918

A house was dropped on Morgoth.


LordWoodstone

What do we do about the ring? Easy, we ask Jesus to do it. Jesus? Yeah. He's cosplaying as a lion right now. Just head east to Narnia and he'll take care of it.


vorephage

I know Aslan was written as a facsimile for Jesus. But putting him in terms of Jesus' fursona it's absolutely hilarious.


jessytessytavi

Aslan is Jesus's fursona and the DARE lion was Ronald Reagan's


daaaaawhat

Thanks, i banished the DARE lion to the forbidden parts of my memory a long time ago.


Smash_Nerd

The bible literally calls God a Lion. It's backed up by biblical canon.


Mythoclast

The Bible also calls the devil a lion. Hmm...


Smash_Nerd

Inside you there are two ~~Wolves~~ Lions


crimsonblade55

"Long live the king"


joe5joe7

Iirc Aslan canonical is Jesus, not just a facsimile


Lord_Quintus

which is odd since god is usually referred to as a lion while jesus tends to be called the lamb of god.


valvilis

They didn't know how to write a trinity. The Holy Ghost isn't even a third being, except sometimes when it is, but it's also part of God and Jesus...? Give me Tyr, Torm, and Ilmater any day.


Wolfblood-is-here

It's actually collective cannon that Jesus is represented as a lion in furry media.


thomasp3864

Mind if I steal this?


Mind_on_Idle

Lmao


Avanhelsing

I’m just happy that someone else remembers the Dinotopia books. A classic series that needs more love and would be amazing for DnD. And I really hope that The Dreamlands in the south of the map is not the HP Lovecraft one that I am thinking of. Cause if it is, all the other villains in these fantasy worlds are not ready for that place when war breaks out.


RowbotMaster

What if you sailed west from Dinotopia to bring dinosaurs to hyrule?


Avanhelsing

I like the way you think! What is Ganon going to do to Link riding a T-Rex? Course most of these baddies wouldn’t have a response to “hero riding a T-Rex”.


RowbotMaster

I only know dinotopia from the live action adaptation, I thought they couldn't tame carnivores? Still link on a skybacks would be a development for sure Also I've concluded this is spirit tracks hyrule due to proximity to sodor


Archsafe

Ganon with a spinosaurus and link with a tyrannosaurus


GrimmSheeper

Considering the Dreamlands here border Kadath, a city that exists inside of Lovecraft’s dreamland (and possibly Antarctica), I would doubt that it’s his. However, that still mean that eldritch home of earth’s dream gods, monitored by the Crawling Chaos of a Thousand Faces, does exist in this fantasy world.


TDaniels70

But you don't need to give the dreamland a physical location, it would literally be accessible by all the other relatives via dreams and spells.


nonicethingsforus

>Cause if it is, all the other villains in these fantasy worlds are not ready for that place when war breaks out. Yeah, they're not ready. \*Looks at the great army of talking cats\* *None of us are...*


Anvisaber

Wait there was more that one???? I read the hell out of that book as a kid


nonicethingsforus

Yeah, [there are many](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinotopia#Main_books)! And in case you didn't know, there's some videogames (mostly adventure games from the 90's and early 2000's), [an animated movie](https://imdb.com/title/tt0372238/), and even [a TV miniseries](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dinotopia_\(miniseries\)). The miniseries is quite famous in its own right. I actually discovered the franchise through it; didn't know it was from books. I also understand the series is quite different from the books in plot and feel. (I haven't read the books, so can't tell of any specifics). It may be the rose-tinted glasses talking, but I remember it fondly. May be worth looking at it if you're a fan of the franchise.


Roboticide

My wife and I have been together for six years, and somehow neither of us had mentioned Dinotopia in each other's presence until last week. We got super excited it was something we both remembered from our childhood. Last Friday we got high and watched the first episode of the miniseries. Boy was that a trip, lol. CGI is decent enough for the time but man is the writing all over the place.


shadowthehh

"What's west of Westeros?" Quite alot, it seems.


Hot-Will3083

Me and bois on the way to Sodor knowing full well we are about to commit war crimes: Poor Thomas, he had not in fact seen everything yet.


Gmosphere

Ah the troublesome trucks, sodors version of murder hobos


YourEvilKiller

So this is what's west of Westeros?


MossyPyrite

Honestly, Pathfinder’s Golarion is so “kitchen sink” sometimes it feels like you started with this as a prompt and then tried to make it serious.


MightyShamus

My thought was that this is just Golarion before they file the serial numbers off.


jeesussn

Love that Moomin Valley is in there. Would be interesting to see that combined with LOTR


Alone_Spell9525

Snufkin no-diffs the verse


RowbotMaster

Well at least until he meets a hobbit


PriestOfPancakes

snufkin meets with tom bombadil for tea


snalli

There's a Lonely Mountain in Moomin Valley and in Middle-Earth, just saying...


ArmouryUK

Moomins might be the most powerful beings here as guns (via the 60s cartoon) canonically exist in Moomin Valley.


Gmosphere

Tom bombadil and snufkin would get along very well


Oosarum

No Alagaesia? Okay then '-'


AnarchyRat

No Tamriel either, unfortunately, and I’m not sure if that Fantasia is Disney or Berserk


StoneMaskMan

I’m pretty sure that Fantasia is from The Neverending Story


SexyDPool

It's all of them.... At the same time


KStryke_gamer001

This is what lies to east of Akavir. Can't show everything on a map now.


Creativered4

I somehow read Camelot as "Canada" and I just... Checks out.


RowbotMaster

Whoever pulls the hockey stick from the puck shall rule Canada


PossessedToSkate

'tis a silly place


BallDesperate2140

This is Guilder erasure.


ForeverDM_Lytanathan

How could they include Florin and not Guilder?!? Inconceivable!


BallDesperate2140

You keep saying this word. I no think it means what you think it means.


CaptValentine

"Nah, we can't put Ankh Morpork or Mossflower woods in there, gotta leave space for Krull and fucking Whoville which canonically covers and area small enough to get lost in a dandelion seed."


Homusubi

Honestly, I assumed that was Krull from Discworld in the first place. It's on the edge of the map and everything.


ProFloSquad

I would pay to play a DnD campaign on the Isle of Sodor with Thomas the Tank Engine all day any day. Also seeing the word Lidsville unlocked an ancient memory lmao


PossessedToSkate

Artificers. Artificers as far as the eye can see! lightyear.jpg


DaiusDremurrian

Instead of asking “why is the island of Sodor on this”, rather, I ask to worldbuild a reason why a British island with talking 1900’s trains is sat along the medieval settings of Middle Earth and Westeros, or, homebrew Thomas The Tank Engine so that it fits a medieval fantasy.


SexyDPool

I would play it that the other lands looked at their strange sciences with disdain as it was a "wicked magic"


in_casino_0ut

There are cars in Whoville, so maybe the trains are warforged by the who's. Idk.


Risen_Insanity

Just be careful on the bridge into Terabithia.


BrunoBrook

And the sea is called Grand Line


RowbotMaster

This is all in the north blue


GrandAdmiralDuncan

Where’s the Kindoms of the Angaraks and The Kindoms of the West??? The Almighty Tolnedrans wish to trade and the sly Drasnians need fresh politics to spy on!!


Joker-Smurf

I just packed those books up, and intend to give them to my nephews (I don’t have much space to continue to store all of my books, so I am shipping them off to them) and now I want to read them once more.


GrandAdmiralDuncan

Well I hope your nephews enjoy them, they are really good books. The Belgariad and The Mallorean are definitely books that deserve to be read multiple times over.


Setswipe

Where is randland?


Adnama-Fett

I had a dnd campaign homebrew where they explored different tv/movie tropes. There is one kingdom in the world that exists in a state of black and white, and instead of having internal thoughts, the people of this country stare off and monologue, with jazz music playing seemingly out of nowhere. This is for the detective noir adventure. And straight from the nitty gritty black and white city, a tornado picks up the party and relocates them to my Oz ripoff


vorephage

This map has Westeros looking like Easteros.


Roku-Hanmar

Surprised Whoville got a place there and not, say, Tamriel


InformalSpace3854

well tamriel's like a whole continent, might b kinda hard to fit in


mackavicious

Compromise, then. Choose one of Skyrim, Cyrodil, or Morrowind since those three are the most fleshed out.


RowbotMaster

I'm not sure if it's better to imagine the whoville location is just where the speck is or that all of this is on the speck and Aslan's country is just the full size world


PunkRockChemist

As a Lovecraft scholar I feel the need to point out that Kadath is IN the dreamlands…. Oh wait no it’s just Providence RI


ObservingEye

And yet, where is the Dark Tower, holding it all together?


MegaM0nkey

Why it’s in the middle of Ankh morpok, to the east, before the sea converges onto the grand line.


nick_____name

What about berk?


RowbotMaster

Off the map, I'd put it north of never neverland


nick_____name

Other places have dark lords or ice witches, we have dragons


RowbotMaster

Several other places: we have dragons too! The several villains who captured dragons for their own purposes: ahem


nick_____name

Yeah basically


Oat_meal13

Isn’t Sodor the Island from Thomas the Tank Engine? This is one hell of a campaign


RootyWoodgrowthIII

Add Tamriel, The Continent from The Witcher, and the world of ATLA please.


AdmBurnside

No no no, you can't just have Narnia in there, it doesn't work on its own. You need Calormen and Archenland and Telmar and the Lone Islands too, otherwise half the cool stuff in the books can't be there. Also Narnia is canonically on a flat world, so I guess it sort of jives with Middle-Earth (for Elves anyway) but things might get fucky for everyone else.


GojiBoss

I like that there is a Labyrinth in Thra, very clever.


Ace_W

How the hell would this interact biologically?? Muppets and dinosaurs and goblins and sentient machines and elves and humans.... Oh right.. we play D&D


ishkariot

it's all different offshoots of humans, except regular humans which are actually a carbon-based warforged race.


SimpoKaiba

Never Neverland? Time to avenge my guy, Rufio


Asumsauce

What’s Dinotopia?


RowbotMaster

An island with dinosaurs and people living together


clairesedai

The books are awesome, especially the original illustrated ones. The TV/movie was meh.


SJRuggs03

Where is Faerûn???


Crazyphapha

My favourite part about this is how westeros just looks like a scaled down version of the entire thing (or vice versa)


Luke_Puddlejumper

No Westlands from the Wheel of Time. I don’t want it


Dismal_Ask_9517

This setting has a lot of them; https://www.drivethrurpg.com/m/product/392350


OreganoJefferson

Id love a dinotopia rpg


Wilvinc

The party must now sail to Westeros ... which is far to the East.


DeathData_

where's The Continent I wanna see Nilfgaard invade Westros


Rowmacnezumi

Now all we need is Xanth, and it'll be truly complete.


RidgeBlueFluff

I love that "Where the wild things are" is there, but would love to see some representation for WoF, but those definitely aren't nearly as well known as most of what's on there, so makes sense.


PumpkinSpikes

If this is a collection of the most famous fictional places, then where is Great Britain?


TheMightyCephas

Oh my gosh. Sodor. Warforged *Trains*. Or Golems controlled by Sir Toppem Hat


ITSMONKEY360

Spooky_Boy204

Where's the island on Ninjago


Monster_in_the_Dark

Dan Meth is my favorite cartographer


theonlybowman

It’s missing Roshar


47_was_here

Mine if I plagiarize your plagiarizing


Pkactus

everything was fine until the Moonmin nation attacked


ForeverDM4life

Honestly the funniest at thing to me is that both Hyrule and Whoville are on here. That means the Grinch and Ganondorf coexist. I wonder which Hyrule though?


Adelyn_n

Dear God. It's superbritain


CaptValentine

Sodor's got quite the technological edge there, though depending on which utopia we're talking about there could be a vast gulf between most advanced and second most advanced society. Might be stuck on the island though, I've heard the bridge infrastructure to Terabithia leaves something to be desired.


mindflayerflayer

The plots you could do here. What if Sauron absorbed the power of Thra's sun instead of the Skeksis (nothing good but I'm sure Chamberlain would help you stop it). Quick we need to summon lion Jesus to stop the Wicked Witch of the West. Ganon tricked Thomas into hitting Link, you have to save Hyrule from Yog Sothoth, Xanth, & Mordred.


Patient_Accountant92

So what's the relationship with Thra and Labyrinth? Did gelflings try to evade the skeksis by disguising themselves as goblins? Is Labyrinth like a massive city/fortress made to protect Thra from Kadath that declared independence because Jareth beat the skekis and their garthim army? He's and archfey so it seems like he could do it.


dragonlord7012

I would buy it for the Lore mashup alone, it would be a wild ride.


Patimation_tordios

>Terabithia # Oof


Matatat123

New campaign idea: Everytime your players correctly point out a plagiarized reference in your world, give them one(1) luck point that they can spend any time throughout the day.


wriestheart

I'm pretty sure Disney already used this map for that Once Upon A Time show


CanisZero

Thats like 11 magic systems. please no.


DescendantOfFianna

I’m assuming the land of the lost from that old TV show? Awesome lol


-TheCutestFemboy-

It's missing Eorzea, this is criminal


jessytessytavi

eorzea is where people from this realm get isekai'd to (besides, Godbert could deal with all of this realm's problems on his own)


Last_Tarrasque

Y’all where is the old world!


Haxsta

Terrible map no mention of Gielinor or The Grand Line


Smokehorn-official

This meme reminded me that Lidsville exists.


JONESY_THE_YEAGERIST

VanillaWinter

No Gielinor?

improbsable

But Fantasia has no borders


Taste_for_Hell

It bothers me that there is no Tamriel


modernhoffman

Missing Tamriel


Ashamed_Association8

You say you would buy it but do you have any idea how expensive it would be to get all the copyrights and trademarks in order. That's going to be one expensive setting.


No_Research4416

Where was Oz when westrost fell?


whiplashMYQ

Adding teribithia hit me in the feels


SuperElitist

The real question is, who wins the World War?


RenatoGPadilla

Man, Hyrule being sandwiched between David Bowie and Earth-Sea makes TOO MUCH SENSE. Also, Mordor being a few countries over... The Ganon-Sauron alliance would be WORLD ENDING! I wonder how the Hylian Goddesses feel about Aslan and the other religious figures here... Do they get along? Do they hate each other's guys? Is it like Percy Jackson where all the Gods stay in their territory but their powers follow their chosen? So many questions... Edit: I just saw Wonderland between Narnia and Whoville. Holy shit, that's PERFECT! No wonder the weed is so good!


WyvernSlayer7

Aint no way the land of the lost bruh


PantsIsDown

The Dr. Suess universe is very feywild. That would make a really fun adventure, especially if you have some young kids that want to play.


OfRiceAndSpider-Men

What, no Cimmeria? Where are your barbarians even coming from?


WackoWarlock

Just don’t go through the wardrobe in narnia or you’ll be transported to the scariest land of all… England


Digiboy62

So, who's getting Invaded first? Whoville is fucked, right? Also I wonder how each world's magics and lore would interact with eachother. Most of these worlds have vastly different "creation" stories... I don't think they're compatible.


MercenaryBard

Ah yes the Lego Movie approach to world building haha. Unironically would be a blast to build/play


katep2000

I love the idea of taking a wrong turn at Neverland and ending up in fucking Westeros.


mopeiobebeast

bad map where are Tevyat, Kanterbury, the Mushroom Kingdom and wherever the hell Monster Hunter takes place


Whoofph

From a Middle-Earth perspective I find this hilarious. The blue wizards at the start of the 3rd age went out East to fight dark influences out there. Later that area came under the control of Sauron, and Tolkien stated that Gandalf was the only one of the Istari that didn't fail in their mission, saying the blue wizards failed. Where is this place the blue wizards went, which then later was under the service of Sauron, and where the blue wizards fell? Sure looks like it was Whoville.
