It’s a bit of a strange map, as Sontar Dov is located on the northern end of my world - the cloud with the stone tablet title is the North Pole.

I created this for running my new DnD campaign with my friends.

Sontar Dov is a mountainous land ruled by dragons and dragonlords - divided into twelve Domains ruled by Dracan, the title given to the rulers.

A lot of it is inspired by feudal Japan, which is one of the parts that really got my players excited, along with the dragons.

Now the reason for the lack of snow - a lot of the land has geothermal activity above and below the surface, but the ruling Dracans also have powerful magic. Some use this to help keep their domains warm for the people living there. So despite the northern location, Sontar Dov only has snow for maybe half the year tops. Though some areas are constantly covered.

Feel free to ask questions about the world or the map! I created the map using a real globe first, then stretched the picture in photoshop so it would look “OK” enough. From there I just painted for many, many hours in photoshop lol
