Beyond the Icewall - The Serpent's Gate

-=Beyond The Icewall=-
Sailing the Serpent’s Gate

A large map encompassing the Serpent’s Gate and several island nations from Xenonesia.

Based on the fictional/alternative historical map by Ohawhewhe (Deviant Art).

Designed as a large RP/Singleplayer map. The Icewall here is broken much like the Sentinel’s Gate, housing many colonies and a huge island. Beyond this gate lies the myriad of island nations belonging to Xenonesia. Settling here will require a very strong naval civilization!

This map was almost lost to time, as a technical issue caused me to loose half the map before I could publish it, but fret not as I have completely recreated it, this time with a better layout for the island nations. The space is again condensed and Xenonesia’s islands are more ‘inspired by’ the map, as the spacing and positioning needed to be adjusted for gameplay purposes.

This is part three of a 4 part series of the gates of the Icewall, based on the Beyond the Icewall lore maps by Ohawhewhe.

“The Serpent's Gate is a legendary break in the formidable Icewall, a vital passageway between the frozen northern expanse and the bustling seas beyond. Named for the massive sea serpents that roam the icy waters, this gateway is both a marvel and a lifeline for the surrounding colonies. These serpents, tamed by skilled fishermen, are used to herd entire schools of fish, making the region a hub for rich trade and vital maritime industries. With permanent strongholds established by Korea, Japan, Russia, and the UK, the Serpent’s Gate is not only a point of economic prosperity but also a cultural crossroads, where ancient traditions blend with cutting-edge technologies to thrive in the harsh, frozen frontier.

“Xenonesia, a sprawling archipelago nation nestled beyond the Serpent's Gate, is a land of mystery and stark contrasts. Its myriad island chains are home to the enigmatic Blemmyes, a headless people whose unique physiology and culture have long intrigued outsiders. With the rise of colonial powers, Xenonesia has become a prized possession for trade and resource extraction. The islands are now dotted with mining operations and bustling ports, where the Blemmyes are cruelly forced into slavery to fuel the relentless demands of foreign empires. Though the land is rich with untapped wealth, the exploitation of its indigenous people has cast a shadow over this otherwise vibrant and diverse realm.”*
