Re: Beyond Yttarria [Banestorm]
All fun. It might be interesting to take something like the kingdoms from Flash Gordon's planet Mongo and pop something like that on Yrth.

Re: Beyond Yttarria [Banestorm]
Why do a pole reverse? Megalos is canonically a slavekeeping society; just have these folks keep slaves from their own culture as well as raiding Ytarria for slaves, and the "poles" dissolve into a homogeneous mass. Each continent could sell slaves to the other.

Normally, you raid your neighbours for slaves, and your neighbours tend to be pretty similar to you. You also get slaves via debt/economic slavery, and debt slavery means slaves from inside your social/political unit, which means even more like you. Heck, the slaves bought in Africa for the Triangle Trade were slaves captured by their neighbours (other sub-Saharan African natives) and then sold - either to North Africans who then sold them to European traders, or just sold directly to European traders. The racial imbalance was caused by the historically unusual practice of high volume long-distance shipping of slaves.

Re: Beyond Yttarria [Banestorm]
Why not ?
Chinese ship building was a fair sight more advanced when they built those Treasure Ships {compartmentalised hulls to begin with} than was Europe when Columbus accidentally ran into America whilst looking for India . I see no reason why they could not have discovered America given their ancestors using stone age technology discover Hawaii which is the half way point .

Re: Beyond Yttarria [Banestorm]
Advanced in the wrong ways. Those super-sized ships would not have taken at all well to open water and required extensive trading along the way just for logistical support. And simply put, the history just doesn't support the idea that any of the expeditions went westward.

Re: Beyond Yttarria [Banestorm]
By the way here's a old thread with some of my other ideas about Yrth beyond Yttarria. The Kingdon of Roses Triumphant doesn't fit the theme, but the others do.
