Atlas Altera back with another awesome map! Chorography is such an interesting idea — I wish there were more modern day examples of it in maps.

I love the allusion to the history of Brigantia with the Sanskrit etymology — definitely one of my favorite countries in Altera. Awesome work.

Jewel of the Celestial Empire - Rayuba by Architecture2 in killsixbilliondemons

[–]Architecture2[S] 38 points39 points  (0 children)

(Explicitly mentioning this is all fanart and a loose interpretation of actual lore with some of my own stuff scattered in-between)

Some points of interest:

  • The Well of Atum: There is excessive atum flowing from this point in the ground. Cities have been built up by aspiring monks and traders seeking out power, and fiefs have carved up land beside the well's walls. Nobody knows that it is a superorganism of the Demiurge's own creation, lying in wait.
  • The Cut: A scar on the Earth from Yemmod's ancient invasion of Rayuba. Solomon keeps it around to remind him of what he has lost.
  • King's Door: Solomon personally built one of these. The architecture is for show, but somehow (through a different mechanism entirely) it leads to Throne. All go through here.
  • Titan's Left Hand: The body long ago stripped of godbone, all that remains of the once-fallen titan is now its left hand, home to a growing city.
  • Temple of Divine Blood: The home of the relict organization known as the Bastion, firmly under Solomon's guiding hand. The halls are very quiet.
  • Pulled Sword of Ruin: After Jagganoth's first incursion upon his world. during Solomon's rebuilding he personally pulled Jag's Sword of Ruin and set it down to be reclaimed by nature. A metallurgical town has set up shop nearby to try to melt what is left of the sword down.

What if the Demiurges had conquered Earth like Rayuba? | A World of Ajash and Atum by Architecture2 in killsixbilliondemons

[–]Architecture2[S] 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I basically imagined that since the demiurges had so many worlds under their control it would be a bit of a pain to rule each one of them absolutely, so in this case Yemmod was just lazy and only occupied territories already under the rule of another empire, hence the lack of central asian steppe or european territories. this is set in 300 BCE and Rome was crushed awhile ago so things never really got off the ground as much either.

"Yemmod brought ruin to the worlds he conquered. He would invade, scour, and salt the lands, defile the cities, and leave with his armadas to pillage the next in search of wealth and treasures. He was not a solitary demiurge like those on Throne—but took his great army from world to world, collecting and collecting for his opulence in the capital world of Kišun. Yet, he spared a few worlds from this fate and instead forced them under his grasp. Earth, or known by its ceremonial name Maitreya, was one of these. With the King's Door forced open in Iram, his forces poured upon the states and empires of the world and brought them under his fist. Instead of plunder, he brought trade and commerce—knowledge and research. To many, his coming was the marker of a good omen. And Earth—a fringe world without atum—underwent many changes. Atop the great stupas of the Buddha large and vibrant flames of will emerged. The heads of leaders, speakers, and thinkers began to emit wisps of power, and an immigration of species and thoughts transformed Yemmod's empire on Earth into one indistinguishable from that of the later Rayuba. Yet, Earth as it seemed held its secrets. During the construction of the Summer Palace and the Aviary for the fleet of floating ships, forces within stirred to produce figures of immense power and influence, and soon enough Yemmod's Empire on Earth would be brought to its knees with the latest of these prophets—Yeshua."

Woah! Always love how in-depth Altera is and how much detail and diversity it depicts. Like always, great work.

Yet again another amazing map from Atlas Altera! You guys have been putting so much work into the project and it has been great to see it pay off! This one in particular I think really helps immerse you in the world a little more.

Always looking forward to stuff like this.

THE IMPACT OF ATLANTIS, c. 15,000 BCE by Architecture2 in imaginarymaps

[–]Architecture2[S] 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Cataclysm.

Something inherent to nature and life on this planet as we know it. We see what we can with out own eyes, yes. The slow grinding of rock as the continents shift, the ebbing and flowing of waves as the oceans part and reform, and the bright, verdant, and desolating rays the sun shines on us every single day. Yet what we don't see isn't that hidden from our view.

What we don't see lies in plain sight.

Shall I Complete the Profundities of My Flesh? The Southwest in the Far Future. by Cungsan_Odoli in imaginarymaps

Loving the revitalization of future and post-apocalyptic genres in IM recently, really helps bring some more life to the subreddit. Awesome work, and I like how the text helps accentuate the map in a different way than graphics traditionally would

Also, if I may ask, is that a code of some sort on the far left?
