I'm in the process of drawing up the world map now.
It's very much inspired by the British Isles.
Ever since I first read J R R Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, I've been wanting to create a massive graphical MUD with a plot very similar to Tolkien's masterpiece.
10 years later (that would make it just a few months ago, actually), I abandoned that plan and decided to sometime start working on a total conversion for Skyrim (vastly time scripted, so the world would resolve at it's own pace, rather than the player's).
At about that same time, I revisited my plans for A Room By the Fire (the text adventure this very thread is about) and realized that, rather than having two seperate universes, I should actually merge them and place the plot of each of these games one island and several hundred years away from each other.
Having pointed that out, A Room By the Fire will be set on the smaller island (henceforth referred to as continent) of "Halveron the Small". A place created by the dying gods soon after the events of the currently nameless Skyrim TC.
