QUACK

The Furrow of the Gods
Along the edge of the known lands, there is a canyon. This would normally be nothing more than a lovely sightseeing destination, but for one minor issue: the size. The Furrow of the Gods was told in legend to be a remnant of a war in the heavens as a fallen god was struck down to the lands from the heavens, carving a trench in the land as far as the eye can see.

A volcanically active rift in the world, the Furrow of the gods is a massive canyon with an array of rivers and localized weather systems within it. Descending into it is dangerous due to its proximity to a major faultline and regular seismic activity. There is an active rift in the crust of the world midway along (near where the fault gets closest to the canyon), and the occasional lava flows that erupt from the smoking depths of this are responsible for both slowly filling the canyon and constantly redirecting the flow of rivers, further making traffic difficult.

Wasn't thinking it'd be manmade.  It'd be natural, in that it's been there for all of recorded history, making it natural.

I love and appreciate everyone who votes for my idea.

DESPAIR.

Well, we still get a desert so I can hardly be upset by Spin winning. It's a good proposal.

It’d be nice if the Furrow of the Gods dwarfed Valles Marineris.

Anyways, I just found this arms race.  Looks fun!


Btw, MoP, the link to the Discord in the first post leads to a YouTube video…

You have decided to give priority to the following proposal for the final map vote:

The desert of 'Amit shrouds the west in heaps of dazzling white sand. The evening winds stir up sharp, stinging sandstorms which scatter the light of the setting sun - an eternally popular subject for landscape artists, who in good weather can often be seen daubing their canvases at a safe distance. Through the heat haze, you can sometimes glimpse the peaks of the Anti-Cholades mountain range, in whose rain shadow 'Amit wallows, grasping at the far horizon.

On the opposite side of the two warring nations sits yet another natural barrier.

What is the natural barrier?

Provide a brief description of what sort of terrain sits beyond the border.

This decision will affect the scale of the war, as wildly opposing terrains will require more geographical space between them and therefore increase the size of the front and the states required to wage war across a wide front. Similar barriers won't exclude larger nation-states, as there will be another five prompts to define the space in between, but you won't be seeing the typical tiny notPacific islands with 8000 biomes if you want 8000 biomes.

The discord link will get fixed in a moment lmao.

The Mountain Range of Sasima
Remains of an astrological impact thousands of years ago, a meteor hit the earth and sent the world into an ice age. It shattered the surrounding plates, causing a great uprising. And so sits to the East the tallest mountain range in the world, too cold and hazardous to traverse. It's shadow looms over the area, casting the lower lands into gloom during the morning hours, clouds touching it's peaks.
