Before people stars making fun of you, I've to warn you... Rich port looks like a penis !

Also, what's up with including "latin american", "whites", "african" and stuff in population? ...
It looks pretty similar to the real world, and that kind of kills the "mystic" atmosphere.

By the way, if anyone wants to know, the NeoDammeranian city is beneath the waters between the central and southern continents.

I like my world to be multiracial. I hate how most epic movies (Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, etc.) only have white people.

Now, I'm not against of using black/asian/latin american people. (I also hate what you said)... what I said is that I found the fact that each continent has it's race an "atmosphere killer".

Dividing the world up by race... Now that I think on it is kind of... eh...
By the way, although I haven't posted the update yet, which I will sometime soon, there are more remaining species than human.
Most of which I came up with before writing scars but don't make an appearance till the end of the story.
For example: The Gasen, which is basically like a centaur, only rather than being a horse for the lower half, it is a lion. It is a half lion half man instead... Yay!
In the story korah aids the Gasen by setting them free. Many have been put to work as slaves by Nergal, for their impressive strength.

I just posted the place topic that will, when finished, include all towns and places. It can be found in the storyline section.

Hmm...
What about Leon's race? It's not mentioned anywhere. He doesn't look like an Angelis, either.

To tell you the truth, that is actually the problem with this map.
It doesn't include other races.
In Leon's case he comes from the western edge of the central continent, in a large mountain range. But you know that already.

I could add a type of mystical creature to each nation if you wish, I just need to know them all.

Ah, ok...
A shortlist of all creatures:
Tomenai - Gnome like creatures who live their whole lives under a body covering shroud. The only visible part of them is their glowing golden eyes.
Gasen - Half Lion, Half Man. Think Centaur.
Hemadrake - Blood sucking dragon.
Kaiser Dragon - Smaller, red version of the Czar dragon.
Occurian - Ancestor of Humans, lives in large cities on the eastern continent.
Farguine - Forest Dwelling Gnome.
Centaurs - You know what a centaur is, half horse, half man.
Aegyl - Men with wings. Quite simple. They only live for 50 years at max.
Scenen - A subsection of humans, who display qualities of animals to such an extent that they appear to be anthropomorphic animals.

I love it! Kona should be a golden color because right now it looks too much like Hermosa. And I don't like flat the bottom of Ekon is (although I made the same mistake too). Make it less flat.

Each nation should be a different color so that way you know what's what.
