Vincula is our second world-building exercise using Campaign Cartographer 2 software. The look and feel were inspired by Ralf Schemmann's exemplary World of Jhendor and consisted of a single map illustrating the island-continent's elevations and contours. Vincula's shape has been likened to that of Tolkien's Middle Earth, though the similarity is purely coincidental (or perhaps subconscious?).

Vincula is the primary satellite of the World of AErchus and is dominated by the continent of Insula Major. This campaign world was created in late 2000 as an exercise in cartography with ProFantasy Software's Campaign Cartographer 2, and the design was based on Ralf Schemmann's topography of Jhendor.

Vincula is small, with a diameter of no more than 8,000 miles. Still, there's plenty of room for adventure, and our initial forays were centred on the Albu Archipelago, where a Celt-like people struggle to retain their independence in the face of more civilised and expansionist nations from the mainland to the east.
