I was just thinking about the Geography of the northernsteppes. Other than being mostly a frozen wasteland, what kind of sparce villages or geography should we have? I was just wondering because I was interested in making a map(RL) then taking a picture and putting it on the NS site maybe. If somebody else who would like to I don't care. Input from chieftans? Comments from NS people in general?

Nichtmar has a map going, www.mittelmarch.com/lbtlmap.jpg you can ask about putting stuff in but also read up about what's already here. Remember that civilization is nearly non-existant in teh Steppes and the Dragoon encampment is the only real stronghold.

OOo me like the map idea. But then we'd have to make new areas.. and stuff. Like the names for them... Which would also be fun.. but I don't know how everyone else would be with that.
Psht... Civilization grows, doesn't it? =D

We could name streches of wasteland, like they did on the moon. Field of Tranquility for Shoaff anyone?

in terms of role play...the northern steppes is a wasteland due to its climate...its fricking cold up here and not much life. if you guys can think of some sweet way to bring about more life or reason for more people up here and the civilization growing, im all for it.
also remember that the NS doesnt necessarily have to be your home or be where you live. like Lampir would probably actually not live up here but most likely in MM where elves are slightly more common, doesnt mean he cant in RP terms visit his friends up here and stuff like that. or maybe for some reason he likes to be cold and hes not all that elf - y

Just another Idea: Meteors landing makes vast areas of fire so its bareable to live in some areas?
Thx for input guys. I'll get in touch with nichtmar and get his opinion.

Dang it shadow... You stole my idea...A huge meteor... Defrosting some of the land making it liveable..... Grrrr... How about we are all ESKIMOS? Or its actually not as bad as people think, once you make it through the ice storms, there's a patch of livable land.
Why is the Dragoon main camp in the middle of tundra ice land anyway?

Umm guys don't you think a giant meteor would have somewhat of the opposite effect of creating life?
Taking into effect all the physics and such (but not calculating), a giant metoer would kill much more than it would create. Seriously, a giant crater and a large cloud of dust would be the result. Nothing could live in the area for a very long time
On a side note: can we name Shoaff--The Field of Tranquility ? I think it's a great name...Just a thought ;]

Considering the land is full of snow and ice... I would assume that snow and ice would fly up into the air... not dust... But if it were big enough to change the climate, if would probably yeild dust and rock.
My suggestion: A fissure in the crust bringing the lava (or magma...?) relatively close to the surface, warming the earth. We could make a big lake or something, and a hill where the fissure is. The ground would be warm, but the air cold. Like snowing in the summer. Kinda cool.
And Charlie... no.

I was just throwing an idea out there... talk about snowballing(yes I know theres a pun in that) Just remember there can be magic if need be. But Lamp's previous post is intriguing. Also I sent an e-mail to Nichtmar. Hope to hear back from him soon.

Magic... I can work with that... =]
A frozen lake turns into a hot spring, maybe? (with magic... or not)
Or we could just figure out how to leave in the cold (with magic or something) and Oh! We could have a race that has developed to not feel cold? That would be kinda cool... Make roleplaying out of it?

that's cool i like the fissure/magic idea
as in roleplaying... would be something worth protecting...
