We made this map with one of the tools above, and wrote the following story:
In a far off land, a magical land appears from the mists. It holds many secrets and surprises, and only those brave enough have seen its wonders. Dragons live and fly in the mountains at a place called Draconian Caves, while other creatures such Griffins and Unicorns can be found in the Reverie Forests. The coastlines of the Enchanted Beaches hold treasures alongside peril.
This magical place, known as The Future Land, once held the biggest battle of all fantasy worlds. When humans came to conquer and were met with Wizard Alenor and the Sorceress Elaxea, they soon realized it was a war they wouldn't win...and alas, many humans perished.
Today humans and magical beings alike, work to keep The Future Land safe and secret from those who might want to cause it harm.
Will you find this land? Only the future knows....
