User of Kofuku in Opengeofiction.
Hi, I'm a mapper from Spain. I started making maps of cities sience I was 6 years old.
When I was 10 years old I created my first big map, scale 1:5000. When I finish that map my love for maps was so big that I started to make maps always and everywere. Later, when I was 12 yers old I started to make my super big proyect. It was a fictional country called Huachachi in a fictional world. I started to make a big map of 1.32 m2 scale 1:10000 of the capital called Huachachi D.F. I also started to make maps of the world.
With 14 years I discovered OGF and I received the country Kofuku where I’m right now.
In 2020 with 16 years old I finished Bako-Huz map. My biggest one for now with 4.5 m2. It’s 2.5 meters long and 2 meters wide. Right now I’m making this map exactly the same in OGF.
I really feel that this is my passion, so right now I’m studying to become a Road Engineer or Urbanist.

Hardan Mythology
Origins of Mythology
In the ancient times of Harda, approximately 500 BC, a new religion appeared. This is the first known form of philosophy in Harda. It basically consisted on a number of priests that started to think heavily about what lies after death. They did this every day and came up with conclusions that letter formed the early forms of Hardan myths. At later times, the folk culture of the island continued modifying the mythology adding or removing content. Some mythological animals were part of the culture before the death thinkers and others were created in the following years. It’s believed that approximately at the year 0 the mythology was more stable and the major features continued to our current ones without any remarkable changes.
Branches
Although it originated across the whole Harda, over time some regions added minor gods. These differences can be divided into three main subgroups. The Bjeri (Kalisanjo) branch, the Grisean (GTC) branch, and the Kofuku branch. The only difference between the branches is that each one holds their own religious capital called “Great Temple” (Like the Vatican for Christians and the Mecca for Islam)

Walking Trees
Due to the extensive amount of forests on Harda, many mythological creatures live there, including the Walking Trees.
Description: As their name says, those trees can move or even talk by themselves. They do not have face or a mouth, but they produce loud whispers. Their roots and branches look like human arms and legs. Most of them look like old trees on the outside and cannot be differentiated from another normal tree if they are not moving.
Origins: Walking Trees are not born, they are created as normal old trees that at some point have been cursed and come alive. When a child below five years old dies, their soul sometimes is not strong enough to reach the heavens. Those souls are stuck on the earth-world. The goddess Nali/Naly of Darkness collects those lost souls and takes them to the forests. In the forest she gives half of the souls to Hardan Fairies and the other half to the walking trees.
Life: Walking Trees will not remember anything about their past life and simply walk around the forests. The only way for a walking tree to turn back to human is via Masse/Masě the god of earth and plants. By pleasing this god, he may go and search for the walking tree souls and turn them back into humans. Unfortunately, there is a small chance of this actually happening because it’s hard for even a god to find a specific tree between all trees in the massive forests of Harda.
Hardan Fairies
Hardan Fairies are mythological creatures that live in the forests. They can be both male and female and they are normally about the size of a human’s hand. They do not fly nor have wings. To move around they have the ability to teleport across short distances of about 50 meters. In their faces they only have two eyes but no mouth or nose. They can change colours depending on the emotions but are normally green or brown.
Origins: There are diverse ways for fairies to appear. The first one is reproduction, as they are able to have children. The other way is with the souls of lost children. Same with the Walking Trees, the goddess Nali/Naly will collect the souls of lost children and give half of these souls to the fairies, and the other half to the Walking Trees.
Life: Hardan Fairies are really difficult to see. They do not like humans and always will keep away from them. They live together in groups of a few dozen. Their houses are underground - not caves but fancy underground palaces. However, they are not capable of building the palaces on their own. The goddess Nali/Naly builds them for the fairies. In return, a third of the fairies born are sent to the domains of darkness to serve the goddess. The other 2 thirds stay in the forests and serve her as spies.
Harda Dragons
As in many other mythologies, Hardan Mythology also contains the concept of dragons. There are two recorded types of them. In the early descriptions before the 15th century they are represented having the bodies of a lizard, the heads of a turtle, and the wings of a bird. After the 15th century because of the Ulethan influence found in parts of Harda, they were changed to the standard Ulethan description dragons, but in the areas that remained untouched by the colonising powers, the original description lives on.
Origins: Harda Dragons were created at the same time as humans, but the process of their creation began much earlier. Korban-Kavjan/Qorban-Kavchan, the twin gods of strife/chaos and order/justice saw that humans were too powerful, so he decided to limit them by creating an even more powerful creature. For inspiration they announced a contest amongst the animals to find the most powerful animal on earth. The animal that survives the longest will be the winner and turned into a dragon more powerful than humans. All animals started killing and eating each other. The turtle hide itself on its shell. The lizard hid in between two rocks. And the birds went to the sky so they couldn’t be caught. All the rest of animals died and killed themselves until only the turtle, lizards, and birds were left. No one got out of their hide place. After several hundred years with no progress the twin gods decided to stop the contest and created the dragon mixing the three animals proprieties so it could be the strongest animal in history.
