In this thread, list your ideas for the different regions in the world that our ponies will live in, care for, and or rule.
Remember that you can edit your own posts and should do so whenever necessary to expand on your idea.
Cuts down on the clutter that way.

The Land of Storm. The ruling family in this land is dysfunctional as the land they rule falls into decay. They are too disturbed by their own personal problems to put their duties first and the people suffer as a result.
This land was once fertile but has fallen into an unhealthy state.

The Green Lands. An area filled with trees. Beautiful nature scenery and a very peaceful vibe.

20 minutes. 1000 words. so, now you ppl know what I can do.
la tie ta [10:17:21] SuperMarioMesser: la tie ta [10:18:34] SuperMarioMesser: regions: ok, here we go. Ok so for a region, how about a very large verrsion of the grand canyon, like with suspended trains everywhere, and a society of western towns like in that buffalo episode only then connected via suspended trainrail [10:19:15] DoritoBurrito: I've mentioned that a couple of times actually, but you exapanded on that a little more. [10:20:06] SuperMarioMesser: A lower flat region, filled with little hills and farmland, could have an episode set there of them facing the water and a storm, like some kind of old storm monster that wants to flood the land as some kind of atagonist, imagine lots of flowers, bridges, and water, as in Holland [10:22:54] SuperMarioMesser: so, looking at your knights perhaps you could set up thesee 12 regions as uone united kingdom, as such being like equestira but a tad different. Like, a subregion, or an outer region of Equestria that still holds loyal to Celestia, but it govourned by the local gatherings or knights, or perhaps representatives of Celestia, of course, that's just one idea, you could also include it as a completely different stage, different from equestria, BUT, you have to keep in mind that we are better off setting these stories within their own "universe, as such, we should find one setting that we can then go place the OC's in for theri own stories to thrive. by giving every region a unique feeling we could do a lot for our reputation and create an interesting little peiece of story that others would be happy to expand into and or improve [10:23:44] DoritoBurrito: Don't mean to inturpt you [10:23:46] DoritoBurrito: but... [10:24:17] DoritoBurrito: The whole thing is gonna be everything that we make up. No equestria, no mane6, no ponyville. [10:24:27] DoritoBurrito: Just thought I'd mention that [10:24:34] SuperMarioMesser: so, perhaps , going with my idea, we could go off looking for inspiration for these regions in, like positive sterotypes of countries or regions, like the flat land is "holland" the canyons region is "America", perhaps some swampland, but what would swampland be or somethign/ Hmm, perhaps we could take a look at minecraft to go ahead and see what separates these regions and what story opportunities these regions hold [10:24:39] SuperMarioMesser: One. A. Don't interrupt me [10:24:45] SuperMarioMesser: Two. B. Read the whole thing properly [10:24:54] SuperMarioMesser: I was suggesting we set it off in our own world, see [10:24:59] SuperMarioMesser: thank you [10:25:09] SuperMarioMesser: you broke my vibe, gimme a sec to get it back again [10:25:18] SuperMarioMesser: ls yir ys [10:25:21] SuperMarioMesser: la tie ta [10:25:24] SuperMarioMesser: la tie ta [10:27:55] SuperMarioMesser: so we also need some woody region, like, look at this picture here, tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Uberwald only then a bit more positive but if we can create a general idea of this region, such as trsansilvaina you could also use this to inlcude more mystery into the show, also generate a region that has more of a contrasdt with flat famrland and large canyons. Snow. We need a snowy mountain region. like switzerland,like combinging ideas of Zwitzerland withthe nordic countries/ iceland. Some kind of green valley hidden inbetween the ice, also you could inclode the yeti, for more mystery. okidokie then what have we got next. [10:29:07] SuperMarioMesser: Fire, Fire! We need some kind of lava spot, like, high risk hihg reward, gem mines in the laava region with dragons included, so that you'd have pertty desolate structures of miners with dragon nests everywhere and such Fire, Snow, Farm, Canyon, Wood. Okidoki what's next [10:32:02] SuperMarioMesser: Stone, such as the vanyon only then grey-white stone compar3ed to the redder stone of the canyon. large structures of stone bricks and such, interspersed with farmlands based on platforms against the rockside, imageine kind of like the roman empire would be of sturctuing, yknow? But we should also have an island region, with like sunny beaches, and fun boats, and like hawai. Ok, so Fire, Snow, Farm, Canyon, Wood, Island, SWamp. Yes we need a swamp, swamps are awesome, also adding to the idea of mystery, small little towns within swamps or wood paths over the deeper paths imagine like that scéne in pirates of the carribean, little firelfies floating over the silent reflection of muddy waters [10:33:20] SuperMarioMesser: Oh, and how can I forget the caves, Yes, caves, with mines and such, or perhaps a region of bat ponies, that dont'exactly like the day so they wear armour and such, of course you could get lost there and dig up the Balrog, but that's another story. Ok, Caves, Snow, Rock, Canyon, Swamp, Island, Farm, Fire, Wood. Damn, three too short [10:35:23] SuperMarioMesser: Air, like air, clouds and roads of clourds and such like a region that holds a sperate group of pegasi ponies that still holds contacts with the rest of the world, but still choose to live amongst themselves. We couldalso do that with a kind of Magic region that amplifies the powers of unichorns, like, some kind of magical shiny rocks, like crystals, some kidn of our own version of the crsytal empire that holds the wisest and strongest unichorns in the world [10:36:28] SuperMarioMesser: Okn now for the last region, weve had Caves snow rock canyon swamp island farm fire wood, pegasi, magic and... [10:36:34] SuperMarioMesser: city [10:37:22] SuperMarioMesser: a large region of urban , like, lots of high end towers and skyscrapers and such that would serve as the central hub for the region or something, or perhaps we could inlcude the city as the central region where the knights, assuming we goo with that idea, meet [10:37:30] SuperMarioMesser: which leaves only one left. one more..... [10:38:56] SuperMarioMesser: Desert, of course! A desert region combined with Steppe, like, large rocks, as in kind of like the canyon region without the whole Canyon idea, think of monument vally www.somewhereelseland.com/monumentvalley.php meets the desert, like large pieces of rock rising over the dunes of the desert with little oasises and such [10:39:11] SuperMarioMesser: PHEW [10:39:17] SuperMarioMesser: ok, that's about it for now [10:39:24] SuperMarioMesser: you're welcome [10:39:46] SuperMarioMesser: how'd you like them apples

Well i was think that the regions should be along the lines of 1.) forest ( sorta like a lighter forested area houses are built outof and around trees 2.) heavy forest ( i may sound like A repeat of the one above but think of it as the everfree more or less 3.) hill country ( ok for us texans i guess this could be closet related to Austin type place where the dwellings are integrated into the hills and flash flooding is a major risk 4.) grass lands ( this could be almost like the great plains Im central America its great for farming and ranching 5.) river lands ( ok now think of this one as like the fertile crescent in the middle east or the nile's delta it is by far the most fertile of the planes but is only hindered by its flooding season. 6.) the mountains ( ok now this is obviously just what it is mountains rich in iron coal and other mineral deposits this area is full of tangled mine shafts and caves that extend for hundreds of miles it is also home to the town bronyville which is located on the outskirts of the massive ranges 7.) desert ( this is obviously what is sounds like miles upon miles of sand and rock constanly in motion and hem to a large populace of nomadic people and caravans 8.) the arctic north ( thsee lands are early unexplored and contain many mysteries what the nation still hasn't heard of this includes the articic deserts and the frozen ocean. ( if we really want to we can make a reference that equestria is located behind a large array of mountains on the opposite some of the frozen ocean referencing the official map of mlp released 9.) the rainforest ( this region could be portrayed as like the Ewok village in star wars with soaring village build among the tree tops and a dense dark undergrowth 10.) the sky lands ( pretty much just a large amount of clouds that cautiously form over an ocean this includes moat of the other areas just in the upper hemispheres this is also where all the weather of the nation is formed and disputed 11.) the under world ( i guess this could be like refering to the explored sections of the cave and mining tunnels that cross the nation 12.) the capital city ( almost comparable to the hunger games but not evil and dominant over the other regions this region only is to serve and the center of high society and a meeting place for the round table to meet and is governed by representatives and the king also resides in this place. Compare it to canterlot of you need to. That's just my ideas in the matter.

I definitely have the forested part covered but eventually it turns into a grassland. So we could probably say this occurs years after my story when Phillie is all grown up. Yeah, let's definitely call it a grassland area.

I just had a random idea... why not make a whole colony live underground? Since the pegasi can't live in the clouds, so why not dig down? The unicorns could use their magic to mine and that could be an entire colony or two. Just an idea though

My friend, that's precisely what this thread is for. Bravo ^.^
I think it's a wonderful idea.

Well i think the pegsi can live ofcthe clouds but over an insignificant site such as the ocean because over the land mass the up drafts tear the clouds apart because we sorta have to appease the people that have cloud kicker pegsi that are applied.

I don't get it. I see the environment as a more primitive form of Equestria without the innovations that they have there.
