'And so began the great land grab of 2013, when people from across the nation did email unto PD saying "Can we have the settlement of X for our background?". And to each of them was given the answer "Submit your background when the character creation system goes live and we'll look at it then. It is expected to be live in early February. We thank you for your patience"'

We will be providing major cities, towns and Interesting Places as a starting point, and will be looking at a mechanism (almost certainly via the New Player Team) to work out how we can ensure player groups can be connected to those locations (or even 'own' smaller ones).

Maps by Daisy Abbott.
  
In coming up with new places for your background, the rule of thumb, really, is 'would it be widely known about'? If it would, it's best to avoid it. Hopefully we'll be providing you with a dense enough network of biggish places for you to refer to already, without the need to crowd our maps with more.

Important note, control of territories and even regional keywords can change from event to event. Please try to make sure you are using the most recent version of the map that is available. There is no guarantee that the maps will be updated every event.
  
Therefore we're happy for people to come up with small hamlets, small settlements or steadings, points of interest such as hidden waterfalls or caves, sheltered valleys and the like. Anything bigger is unlikely to fit in.

Very roughly, the Empire is 900 miles by 900 miles. Scale will be shown on upcoming maps.

Maps by Daisy Abbott.

Important note, control of territories and even regional keywords can change from event to event. Please try to make sure you are using the most recent version of the map that is available. There is no guarantee that the maps will be updated every event.

The Gazetteer tells you all about the places on the map while the Pronunciation guide tells you how they're said.

Alongside the above, you can take a look at Nicholas Avenell's wonderful zoomable Google version of the Empire Map.

Also, Racheet Dave has now produced a cool dynamic map so you can study the Empire territory by territory.
