Terrain ideas for kingdoms for each race

[fotie]

Hey everyone, I am curious to find some epic kingdom terrain ideas for each race. I would like ideas for Nightelf, Human, Undead, Orc KIngdoms. Please go all Out on your creativity. For instance> human please dont say epic castle... Expand on your ideas and be descriptive. ALl credit to ideas that are used

Human: Great rolling farmland with intersections of hedgerows and old oak trees. Lots of hard, square angles.

Orc: Barren plains and scrubland akirting the edge of imposing mountains. Giant mammals and dinosaurs wander about, challanging all that oppose them. Lots of natural curves that suddenly terminate in sharp points.

Undead: A gray and dead land covered in a perpetual misma. The sun never shines, even at high noon. Rotting husks family homes are shrowded in the oppressive shadows of long dead trees. Lots of long straign lines that fade away into the distance.

Nelf: A forest that time forgot. Trees larger that anything man could hope to ever reach. Small buildings nestled between spiraling roots and branches. Lots of endless loops and knots.

Ideas looking good. Can you be more specific to like how the land should be formed? IM having trouble generally how to make the land shaped. SO far for Nelf i have a path hugging up a world tree and a kingdom at the top.

the best thing i find to do is find what each race is based off and just look at landscapes of the real things or better produced movies and pictures its how i genraly get inspiration . . .its one way of doing it.

humans = western medievil society
orcs = a mix of japanese and natives and barbarians
undead = thats just easy look at any of the many games that use undead landscapes
Nelfs = lots of things take lord of the rings is a good one for this
