Haven isles and Burgeo makes me think of Caribbean.
Burgeo is maybe more like Madagascar. But, haven isles are definitely somewhere in Barbados & Trinidad.

Any ideas on what Noniwrok could be?

I've never really thought about the Cantr continents as being like ones we have. I guess I use our plants, animals, etc. as reference points, but when it comes to actually picturing Cantr I just see Cantr. And, I love it. :D
It begins with a character, usually, and once he stands up on his feet and begins to move, all I can do is trot along behind him with a paper and pencil trying to keep up long enough to put down what he says and does.

I guess Teragotha/Shai would have to be the UK... Small and relatively independent.... England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. The government works, but secretly they all think they can do it better, and all hate England of course... They don't really want to still be together, but nothing will ever change. Will it? :P

Edit: I of course meant IRELAND! Not Island. :oops: My sister-in-law will kill me. She's from Belfast too, I'll probably get shot.

lol nice comparison. One past and one current charrie there. Always found that island very intriguing. Especially the "Queen of England" though my current charrie has only met her once. Very interesting encounter though ;)

I love how Klojt genuinely feels like a big city. I don't know where in the world though.

I love the comparison! :lol:
Actually two of my english characters spawned there, and finally I had to let one die (I was very very active in those days) because all the RP of this island is interwoven; impossible to have two awake characters there and maintain sanity as a player.

I agree with Cantr = Europe (middle Europe)
Treefeather = America
Fu = Asia (Rusia, China & India. So vast and unknown)
Pangea = Maybe Africa?

And as a spaniard, I really don't know where to put the Hislands (And yes, they are called "Hislands" and not "Islands" :roll: )

Still there, even :wink:

This has me now literally fearful for my sea going character's lives. Can someone please confirm or deny if that thing is still roaming the seas? And if so. *grabs spear* Who wants to go slay a kraken with me?!

Klojt in winter feels like industrial era London.

Now if only someone started wearing a top hat. Victor Bix used to have one, but that was a long time ago.

It's all 'Murica, you know, just cause. ;) lol No, but seriously, I think it's kind of hard to compare. It's just a different place entirely.
