Maps of Veil of Ashes: Europe

The map of Europe 200 years after the inferno. It shows the borders of various nations and the cinium-rich, uninhabitable ash deserts.

The map is constantly updated and is primarily intended as background information to give those interested a better feel for the world of Veil of Ashes. There are still some names missing on the map and on our community server in the Lore Channel you can post suggestions for improvement (for names, but also for adjustments).

The structure of the map is based on the setting, which differs from our real history. An apocalyptic catastrophe in 1704 changed the earth forever. The factions and their borders were drawn on this basis. Veil of Ashes is set 200 years after the Great Inferno.

Explanations:

  • dark brown area, which you can find especially around the deserts: territory without any rulers or order, often barely inhabited.
  • countries with inner borders and different colors: Symbolises feudal elective monarchies that either have weak or no overarching leadership at present. The individual regions symbolise the estates of the noble houses. The Communes are a special case, as they are sovereign states that only share a similar ideology and sometimes agreements of collaboration.
  • Why there are “holes” in the landmass: These are remnants of the catastrophe.
