Roads and Rumors
- By
Old roads leave every village toward its neighbours, close villages are joined by whole roads with bridges and tunnels, every place has a name and the day it was first charted, and cartographers sell rumours of places nobody has seen.
Give the land between the villages a history.
Every village sends the beginnings of old roads toward its neighbours and the sights around it. Villages that stand close together are joined by whole roads, with bridges and tunnels where the land asks for them. Regions, villages and landmarks have names and remember the day they were first charted, and cartographers sell rumours of places nobody has seen yet.
🛤️ Features
- 🛤️ Road beginnings: every village sends out up to three roads, 20 to 40 blocks long, toward its nearest neighbours and nearby landmarks. They fade into the land: keep their heading and you find the place.
- 🏘️ Twin villages: about one village in five has a twin close by. Villages with less than 100 blocks of open land between them are joined by a whole road.
- 🌉 Built from the land: roads are paved with the blocks of the land around them, with timber or stone bridges and tunnels propped with timber and lit by lanterns.
- 🪧 Signposts where a road leaves a village name the place it heads for and how far it is.
- 📜 Names and dates: entering a region, village or landmark shows its name and the day it was first charted, so you know whether anyone has been there before you.
- 🗺️ Rumours: cartographers sell rumours of uncharted villages, landmarks and the lairs of great foes.
- 📷 Photographs: with Exposure, cartographers buy photographs of far places.
- 🧭 Maps: with Moonlight, every map shows the charted villages and landmarks with their names.
