Tabletop Map Settings

These are mostly example settings one can use for their map, so feel free to concoct others as you need them.

Eras are useful for setting up different types of adventures/contests.

* The Era Before: A time before ability user's were common. This era is great if you want the players powers to be something rare and unusual. This era takes place before technology and there are mostly small villages. Some of the wilds are dangerously filled with monsters. Abilities are not very understood and often worshipped or feared by non-ability using folks. Though most ability users are good people, some unsavory ones have taken over small towns. They say there are some abilities that exist at this time that become unheard of in later times.
* The Ancient Time: A time when there were more ability users in the world. Some ability users are just now experimenting with their powers and new things are being made. This time marks the creation of many things not understood by later eras. With all the good also came the bad, for some have come up with new evil ways to use abilities! What some could call "technology" has only recently began to evolve for most, but some have gotten a little more advanced than others....
* The Era of Myth: An age of castles and towns. In this time some ability users have discovered mysterious constructions that can be called "ruins" or "dungeons" that seem to have been created to test others. Things like Relics and strange crystal tech have been found in them, as well as strange monsters. Some groups have begun that dilike ability users, but the most dangerous type of all are the dark ability users!
* The Secret Era: An era of change as technology has led to cities and more towns. Even monsters are rarer in this era! Most ability users have go into hiding and use secret codes and mysterious places for working out of. Some look for the hidden groups of ability users, some fight against those hunting ability users, and some work in secret to develop new types of technology and crafting. Secrets are a key part of this era, and some ability users hide more secrets than they should...
* The Light Era: An age of wandering and travel! Many ability users seek to reconnect with each other as they seek eachother out. Abilities are still a secret, but that isn't going to stop some of the darker ability users from doing bad things. This time marks a rediscovery of things that have gone missing during the last two eras. Uncovering more of what was hidden, and finding things from long ago.
* The Modern Era: A time where ability users have places they can gather and trade. Many compete to see who is better, and some even create places like dungeons and things for others to explore! New technology allows for people to harmlessly teleport away from danger so people don't have to hold back when they do things! Dark ability users still exist even in this era, but they have grown more crafty and are less obvious at first glance. New discoveries in crafting have come so far they even do things that people once thought impossible!

Part of the setting are also places Aside from the normal places that you may find in the list above, here are some additional places:

* Time Anomaly: A strange and rare occurrence! This place seems to contain things from multiple eras at once!
* Other Dimension: A place that is strange and otherworldly, literally! Even the stone this place has could have weird properties to it.
* Simulation: A place where people can make almost anything happen!
