I could share one of my original fantasy settings, but then I'd have to kill you all to prevent possible copy-right infringement.
So instead, I'll share one that a favorite author of mine created that you might find interesting.
Hundreds of years after the great war between the Wizards of the north laid the lands to ruin, the survivors have rebuilt society into small farming communities. Trade is carried out up and down a massive river - known as Bluewater - that connects the colder lands in the north to the warmer in the south. The settled areas - where brick and glass are still kind of new-fangled - are fairly safe, but if you stray too far into the wilds, be warned that Blight Boggles (creatures that can suck out your very life - and the life of everything else, for miles around their lairs) lurk in the depths. The Lakewalkers, the surviving descendants of the Great Wizards who once ruled the cities of the northern lakes, are the nomadic fighters who hunt and slay the Blight Boggles. However, they have strange ways, and are best avoided. But if one kills a Boggle in you area, make sure they are well paid, or they might not come around the next time and let you be eaten.
Few have ventured up to the ruins of the ancient cities on the lakes. Those are the dead lands, where the great Boggles of old laid the land to waste. Those cities lie at the bottom of the lakes now, some stretching miles across.
No one remembers the names of those cities anymore. However, if a reader is canny, one recognizes one of them as... Cleveland.
Yes. This fantasy setting (created by Lois McMaster Bujold) is inspired by the farming communities along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers during the 1800s. However, the setting itself is some sort of alternative universe where Cleveland (and the other cities along the Great Lakes) were ruled by Psionic Wizards. Something happened, and they created horrible life sucking monsters (later known as Blight Boggles) and a great war destroyed the five cities and devastated society. Now, the descendants of those original Psions (the Lakewalkers) continue to clean up the mess their ancestors caused. They help the 'normal' humans rebuild and keep the surviving monsters at bay.
Anyway, I like this setting because it uses a location other than "generic Europe". I mean, who thinks about using Magical Society America as a D&D setting? Or making the great city of the ancients "Cleveland." That always makes me laugh. ^^
Edit: Oh, and for those interested - the Sharing Knife novel series (by Bujold) is where this all is from.
