Those of you who had their worlds for some time, you'd probably know what I'm talking about: as the years go by, all of your countries are slowly modified and remodified until your original world has been totally replaced.

So, here's a question to Z what did your world look like back then? What did Almea look like during the D&D days? Before the D&D days? What did it look like when you first thought up the word "Verduria"? Of course, how did you decide to call your country "vegetable"?

It hasn't changed terribly much, just expanded in scope... the first map I drew was of the vicinity of Verduria-- roughly, the top half of the kingdom, plus the Western Wild. Unfortunately I didn't keep this map, nor the initial version of the city map. Next was a map of the Plain-- I still do have a version of this, with some place-name changes; then a map of eastern Erelae; then the whole continent; then the southern hemisphere; then the planet.

Verduria was created for the D&D campaign... I created plenty of fantasy lands before it. I don't think I kept any of them, except for an s.f. world (maps and language) I worked on as a teenager.
