Calligo
Calligo is the name of the land in Anvil Empires.
Welcome to Calligo, a land that once birthed an enlightened people who represented the pinnacle of civilization, now finds itself a canvas for bloodshed and conquest. Three desperate alliances vie for control of Calligo’s land and resources.
The industrious Novan Remnant return to long abandoned outposts in a bid to reclaim their lost valour. The displaced Aranic, savage Pagans of the south forced to flee their storm-shattered islands, find hope on Calligo’s shores. The Mirrish, Blood of the Ancients steel themselves with the will of their Calligan ancestors to defend their sacred land from the unworthy.
This isolated continent holds an array of deadly creatures and bountiful features. From craggy highlands, to swaths of verdant fields; North Astria’s dense forests unfurl into the murky mires of Lisinger. The northern mountains of Etenweall are frigid and unforgiving, while the southern islands are home to barren land and fertile soil alike. Dark secrets lie hidden inside Calligo’s primeval mountains, beneath its abyssal seas, and between grains of the very soil itself. Tread carefully, for this land may not be so easy to conquer.

Pre-Alpha Map West Coast update
The next large update to the Calligo map came in an overhaul of the current west coast, a new artistic map format, and a return of named locations to the map.
First Pre-Alpha Map Expansion
This map expansion added an extra 4 regions to the map for a total of 6. The map size increased to 8km wide and 11.1km high. The expansion added a new north and easten coastlines to the now peninsula.
Second Pre-alpha Map
This map marks the official starting point for the official map of Calligo. It was a single large landmass 4.2km wide, 8.2km high with a coastline running the entire length of its west side. The map area was split into 2 regions, north and south, with a transfer border inbetween. Entering the border region would then seamlessly transfer you from one region to another
First Pre-alpha Map
The first Pre-alpha map was a small single region map 2.8km wide by 2.2km high. It featured 3 landmasses, 2 islands and a single main landmass in the top right corner. The two spawning Factions would spawn with the Remnant in the north and the Ancients in the south. Both factions were divided from each other via a river which ran the length of the main landmass.
