Tiesia - Blog Posts

This is the map of Tiesia, a country with a mythology I am creating. It’s all in the works, but I’m pretty proud of this map so I wanted to share it.

Tiesia is a warm peninsula set in the Viesius Sea. It’s northern border is a nearly impassable mountain range, which has contained Tiesia to its peninsula, and kept it from fighting with its northern neighbor, for the most part.

The best way to travel back and forth between the two is the Kalnų Path, which then leads around the western edge of the country, connecting all of its cities. Western Tiesia is mostly forested, and is the more populated side of the country. The map doesn’t show most of the small towns that exist in the forest, but they all benefit from the Kalnų Path.

It’s capital is Sostinė, on the east side of the river Didelis which splits the country in half. Sostinė is one of the port cities of the country, the other being Kelias Miesto on the western shore, which is the nearest port city to their northern neighbor.

Eastern Tiesia has a large desert which covers the majority of the land, leaving most of the area empty of people. Tamsus Desert is stopped by the Tams River. There are small cities where the river meets the ocean, leaving the land more fertile. Eastern Tiesia does the majority of the farming, in the parts not taken up by the desert. There are also a lot of farms along the southern edge of the country.

In the south there is a large island called Sala. Sala is known for its amount of major temples, including the one where the oracle resides. The only major religious place that isn’t located on Sala is Magija’s main Tower which is located in the north east on the Kalnų Path, halfway between the first city on the path and the first port city, Kelias Miesto. Between Miestas Sventylos and Sostinė, all of the political power is in the south.

In the south there is land that Tiesia and its southern neighbor has fought over for hundreds of years, including islands to the south east, which generally consider themselves independent because of the constantly changing power over them.

So that’s a quick (or really long) over view of the terrain of a country I’ve been making up.
