I had been involved with some world building activities for the Chaos And Order realm, when I started working on a map for the known world of Pipurim. Indeed, there has not been much work at that repository or at the role playing forums, but I have been working on the world nevertheless. Earlier, I had worked on a constructed langauge, Pasen, and now I thought I should work a bit on the actual world by making maps.

I had been making crude maps earlier, and the extent was only with respect to demarcation of the different countries and the areas occupied by the different races of the planet Pipurim. I thought, there would be some maps drawn by the inhabitants of a group of continents, at least to the extent how much they were aware off - if not at the full planetary scale. That made me look out for resources that would help be build the map.

• Creation of a language
• Langauge creation: Proto-Pasen - Syllables

As I had discussed in my earlier post, I had started to create a language that would be the basis for atleast a couple of languages that would be prevelant in the realm of Chaos And Order. (To know more about Chaos And Order, visit the forum or the blog).

Keeping in mind that it would be spoken in the realm of Chaos And Order, by many races that have variant vocal structure, a overlapping set was taken.

Working on the realm of Chaos And Order, I happened to notice one difference between this realm and others that were created by masters in the area. There was a lack of depth in terms of culture and history. To write about the culture and to write history, one would need to name a lot many things. The people, places, objects and even some actions need to be named. These name in turn flesh out the culture in that realm. These names define and differentiate between the different cultures of the realm.
