Where is the Sentinels 'Kingdoms' verse?

General
So, to those of you in the know, I made a spinoff series of Sentinels way back when - before it went by that name, when they were still called 'Os-Nadarra' - I don't even remember why I chose that name >_> - and there have been 5 short story entries to the franchise, with a few art pieces. As with the original Sentinels, Volcan (Phoenix) is featured as a main character, serving as a guardsman and a member of the standing army of the city-state of Avolon, and co-starring alongside characters by 
Avogadro LoApostropheRaven who provided his character as the heir apparent to Avolon's throne.
To avoid spoilers I won't delve into too much about what has happened in the story so far. The premise is an alternative timeline where people have remained in largely isolated city states, most of which are mono-racial (not monocultural as a culture and race are not the same thing) like Avolon being a city of Avians, and later Lycanthria being exclusively dominated by wolves with other races under theirs being indentured. Most if not all cities would be very singular in their focus; some would be economic titans, some advancing technology beyond what others achieve, but every single city-state would be unique, and stand out as their own entities; no countries or empires, just small kingdoms. This was the idea.
But I have been struggling to get back to the series, because I was never 100% clear on whether it was a fantasy world or modern Earth in an alternate timeline. In either case, it's resulted in multiple plotholes - especially in roleplays I did in this universe, which blended cultures into places where they never could have existed. Since then, my motivation to work on the story has ground to a screeching halt...
What I need to do is refine this world... I worry that this may end up in me restarting the story, but either way I need a proper world map for both my reference and those of the reader(s). Sadly, until I can find some way to do this, the series may not be continuing... one of these days I need to sit down with a pencil and paper and try to sketch out a proper world map, believable as an alternate earth but not ripping off modern geography that I'm constantly getting wrong anyway x.x. Plus, if they were using their modern equivalent locations, again, these cultures could never meet. As mentioned above, they'd all be following different inspirations.
So for the time being the series will remain on hold... I don't want to just completely remove it but I'm not finding any reasonable means to continue it.
