Creation of the archipelago was the first step toward introducing a fantasy element to my 18th century world.
The original inhabitants were natives, much that would be found in South and Central America and the Pacific. It was a year later, while re-reading Moorcock's books I introduced the Melnibonéan Empire as principle rulers of the islands.
Cloaked from the rest of the world the Melnibonéans were able to advance their civilization well ahead of other nations. Magic is still used, but took the form of science.
The following will give insight to the scope of the project.
Where is the archipelago?

As of the last article, I have moved away from the original rule set we used to the more flexible DBA/HOTT system. Everything I currently have has now been rebased and I should have photos posted this coming week.
Cheers,
