We also need a way to prevent people from leaving the map and venturing off into Minecraft (We could wall up the water and make it one large floating island to go along with the Airships or something cool like that)

It should just be water going off forever, If i ticked the right box. The idea being we could always expand by adding more islands on.

I think he might've meant the upper half of the map (Seeing as he said snowy and the spawn area is in the desert :P)

Really? the spawn area was ontop of the plateaux for me.... weird.
IT IS FINALLY HAPPEN. Here is what I have so far. Feel free to suggest changes and such.
All the gods are dead. Some say they were always dead, others say that the ice froze them to death. Whatever the reason, all the gods are dead.
It started about 1500 years ago when a meteor impact knocked the world farther from the star it orbits, causing sever glaciation. These glaciers sat freezing humanity to death as it slowly drifted farther from the sun. However the ice also saved the world from extinction. The ice caused the world's mass to change and its trajectory changed too, sending it back to a habitable, if cold, orbit. The ice at the equator began melting and humans were able to begin rebuilding.
Atlantica, a small archipelago in the Vast Transeatic sea was once a pinnacle of progress, scientists were discovering things at a rapid pace and the rest of the world was nearly a decade behind, however with the invention of the Semi-Rigid airship in 1204 A.T. (After Thaw) , all of the scientists left to go and explore the rest of the world they were once isolated from by the large oceans.
Those who remained found that without the plans for the inventions that once helped the world they had no way to replicate these inventions and fell behind technologically. When in 1404, 200 years after the invention of the aircraft, the last of the great "Giants of the sky" crashed down on Atlantica bringing an end to the age of the aircraft for most of the world. A few isolated nations still manufactured them, but for the majority of the world, they were now isolated from each other as the seas had grown more stormy and dangerous, preventing long sea voyages. Atlantica, and her nearest neighbor, Baltica, managed to maintain trade for a few more centuries until rising tensions over the pantheon of creation led to Atlantica sinking Baltica into the ocean and causing more international tension over the matter.
By 1705 A.T. The Atlantan Empire had dissolved into quarreling city states and poverty ridden Nations. Several decades passed before an industrial revolution dawned, bringing with it the return of steam power. Few of the nations were quick to embrace this new power, some outright refused to use it. Those who did accept these new technologies were able to get the leg up, but were generally distrusted and hated by the rest of the world.
Here is where your story begins. At the dawn of a decade, the small nations of the world are still quarreling over the invention of steam power, as the now isolated Atlantica begins to rediscover it's lost technologies. The gods are dead and the priests are discussing who will be the next pantheon of divine gods. What your destiny is however, is not of divine will, but of your own choice.
(You guys decide who those dead gods are and what nations you want to make. We can take a vote on what that dead pantheon will have when we get some stuff in it.)
Awsome! but I'm confused now, airships and steam engines? This is starting to sound more steampunk than mediæval fantasy... Either way Im cool, but I want to know the style we will be building in :P One thing I would add to the story, although we can't do that until we have decided our provinces; you will have to add a section discussing the births of the different provinces and what they specialise in. People could then chose between them.
The airships are basically large hot air balloons, and only some of the nations really have any steampunk stuff. Most of the world considers them heathens.
