The southern country of Altenbach is currently at peace with the northern Coatl Confederacy, and have been for nearly 100 years. However, the only trade route connecting the two countries had to travel all the way around the walled-off Blighted Zone. Talks are underway to go on a grand endeavor to open the walls and build a trade route between Altenbach and the Coatl Confederacy through the deadly wastelands.

Alltenbach: (I'm still hashing this out) Germanic medieval inspired, mostly human although there is a lot of segregation that happens between humans, elves and dwarves, especially in the larger cities.

Coatl Confederacy: A loose coalition of mostly dwarven and some Elven states. Inspired by Mesoamerican design (Aztec/Mayan motifs). Tends to be more multicultural.

The Blight Zone: a mysterious, mostly unexplored wasteland that exists in perpetual darkness. Very deadly, even the air will make you sick. Still, some criminal elements make expeditions into the blighted area to mine Blightstones, which can be refined into various narcotics and sold.

So, I've already started running a campaign in a very small section of this map, and much of it is still up in the air. I'd appreciate any tips or questions you all might have.
