Unnamed World

There existed a T-shaped lake. The left and right branches were connected to rivers, while the lower branch was connected to the sea. The first settlement in the world was a tiny isolated and independent logging village a certain distance along on the river following the right branch of the lake. A major city was founded on the lower right corner of the lake. The city then spread to the lower left corner, then the upper right. Much later, tunnels would be built connecting these parts of the city, the first of its kind. Then far away in the lower left direction, another city was founded under a tree. 4 towns formed around the tree city, forming an X and a square box of roads with the tree city as its center. The tree city grew and grew, forming multiple concentric circles, and these circles were transected by the roads traveling from the 4 cities to the tree city center. These divisions formed the different sectors of the tree city. There was a road between the major city by the lake and the tree city, and a town sprung up on the road, eventually merging with a nearby lake bay town. All these cities and towns are ruled by the major city by the lake. Far to the right direction, there was a large bandit fortress built on a hill overseeing the river, the first of its kind. Further to that direction, there was a small town built next to a lava falls. Very far to the left direction was another state of around 4-5 cities and towns. The capital was a huge rectangle shape and had a palace/castle for the ruler in the middle. The town closest to the state by the lake that was ruled by this state was on a hill and acted as a stop for travellers between the 2 states. A famous architect/engineer was born here. Another town was centered at a small pond, and the famous architect built a stone bridge across the pond. All the cities and towns in these 2 states were connected on elevated and lighted stone roads.
