To make things easier for mapmakers and content creators, and as a tool for players to know the world. Any post talking about a specific location should have a number code formatted as follows;

First is the Canyon Number. This is an arbitrary number from 1 to 40, but theoretically could go higher if people are interested.

Then a dash, for readability, then either E or W for the East and West slopes, again a dash, then the rough Latatude, and finally after another dash, the Terrace, either the common name, or the terrace number (Low Sea, and Shore are 1, the Green Hell 2, Emerald Hills 3, Arid Steppe 4, Frozen Wastes 5, and anything cave related uses the closest entrance, but includes a C at the end of the code.

Thus, the City of WhiteFall would be 1-W-40N-4

Or 40 degrees north on the Arid Terrace of the western slope of Canyon 1.

This will give a roughly 100km x 100km area for the location being talked about, which is plenty of space for a small kingdom.

Caves accessible from WhiteFall's area of influence would be written as 1-W-40N-4C


However, the City of WhiteFall is special in that it actually has a pair of great elevators, powered by the Whitefall river, and thus WhiteFall has a Lower City, located at 1-W-40N-3, with the corresponding caves 1-W-40N-3C.

The Canyonlands Community RPG Setting

The Canyonlands is custom fantasy steampunk setting that can be used with any system, but is meant to be played with OpenD6.

This community is for both world building, and play by post.


The basics of the setting are a Canyon 20,000Km long north to south, 1000Km wide east to west, and 20km deep.

Each side of the Canyon is terraced into 5 distinct layers, with 4km tall cliffs at the boundary of each layer.

The cliffs of the Canyon are riddled with caves, both natural and carved, but strange magics in the rock twist size and distance. A short journey into the depths may take you to the opposite side of the world, or to a cave a kilometer to the north.
