Is OpenLayers appropriate for creating maps of a fantasy world?

[المشرف العام]

Please excuse my ignorance, I've been directed here from Stack Overflow where I've been looking at a variety of HTML5/JQuery packages to create a map of a fantasy world that exists in a game I maintain a player fansite for.

The features I desire are

• Free to use
• Requires no server side installations
• Allows for markers/annotations
• Supports layers (for example roads)
• Able to be zoomed/scaled
• Able to switch from a "global" view to a more "local" map (eg from continents down to cities and streets)
• Requires no knowledge of GIS by the end user beyond the sort of experience Google Maps offers
• Supports some sort of overlay when a region is moused over/into

I did not consider open layers because I thought it might be too slow or overkill for my project, but as I'm looking at a variety of jquery solutions which only work together questionably well I'm now willing to consider a more substantial learning investment if it will help me achieve my goal.
