I'm starting a campaign so I have one ready when my group is ready i have only created one small island with one city so far. I have only created on additional race also so I would like all the help I can get.I have created a world map for the campaign.You can copy this image and add your own islands and post it again , but please keep to the same style of a color coded topographical map.

Here's what i have so far...

North Klaisack

A small island that was first habited for the purpose harvesting the bountiful crops that covered the island before they came. Since then many miners have come because the finding of a new mineral called by them Ever-last Oil which can light a lantern for an hour on just a few drops (Sells for only 5 gold a liter because it is so bountiful) It's is supposedly made from the decomposition of dragons . Unknown to them a breed of dragon like creatures are extremely abundant about 10,000 feet below the earth. (Stats will be listed later).

The only city on the island Faltar is quite large about 50 km across though a bit sparse

Name: Faltar
Type: Small city
Population: 5,951

Power Centers

- Erling Stout (LN Human Lvl 7 Expert Lvl 2 Fighter Human Mayor) The explorer who founded the island

-Eventor Nurnog (CG Dwarf Lvl 5 Expert)

Races

-The Baltir

The Baltir are a druidic bear like humanoid race they are very strong and wise
yet not that agile. There homeland was totally destroyed when an earthquake
sank the island deep into the ocean they are a very common race still because most of the race had left that island to got to a place with more fertile soil.

Halate

This is the mother land of the a dessert dwelling reptile race called the Y'hist. More than half the island is covered is dessert thee only green is just west of the the large inland sea on there they grow many different types of crops. The land is not fertile on it's own the only way it becomes fertile is the annual flooding of the canals which leaves a lime residue making the ground fertile, although this causes disaster for their people the Y'hist only have one city Jast, but its massive with a population of over 100 , 000. This is a port city that has 2 parts on by the sea and one by the the ocean the boats made out of papyrus pass in and out of the large port almost constantly.

This is all i could type right now I'll add the town stats and all the other stuff 2.

You'll want to concider piracy. Thieves will take sail and loot trading vessels. Every civilization that's used the sea has had this problem. maybe the pirates could come from a single race, causing tension?

Also, how does the Baltir feel about miners digging up the island? You've got some great story hooks if full scale war is your goal.
