Re: The Map of Ara'niel

No, but for future reference we'll need to fix that.

[Tentacle Therapist]

I'm working on a cleaned up version of what we have now. Bronk, you should keep working on a re-done version though. Since I'm god awful at anything but editing.

[Tentacle Therapist]

Done. There are probably glaring errors. Feel free to call me out on them, and tell me to fix them.

That's actually not that bad all things considered.

Few things I notice right off the back, the cities aren't exactly in proper order in the following countries:

Eadhaolin; missing three cities.

One to the extreme north along the coast, one to the extreme south boarding Imperator and on the river, and one along the mountain range to the east just about that thin little stream.

Imperator; missing 2 cities the capitol and the fort, although that's not really your fault no one has had the decency to fix that.

One city is on the edge of the western boarder next to the river right above where it curves, the other city is along the same river further to the north, directly on the opposite side of where the current city is, the fort is located on the left side of where the river runs into the mountains, and the capitol is located on the v part of the y shaped stream to the northeast of the fort.

Atimar; missing one city, one capitol, and two other cities are misplaced.

The missing city is located to the north on that long strip of land, right on that triangle shaped outcropping. The capitol is located on the bottom of the main island right between that big cove and that little triangle. One of the missplaced cities is on the north of that same island and should be moved to the smaller island south of that right on the triangle on the right side. The other misplaced city in the one on that big chunk of land on the mainland it should be on the mouth of the river not in the middle of the forest.

Other than that, and the fact that Chaos' nation is entirely missing, it looks pretty good, nicely done Tuv.

[CromTheConqueror]

Good work Tuv. But seriously not being able to see the whole map is really annoying. We need a new forum skin.

[MidgetNinja]

You can see the whole thing if you right click the picture and select 'view image' Crom.

It's mildly less convenient to be sure, but it's not too big a deal.

[Tentacle Therapist]

It isn't the skin, it is the forum set to have an unchanging width.

[Tentacle Therapist]

So Eadhaolin is the name of that place? I didn't know. Thanks. I'll put that up then. I know nothing about Chaos' nation. This is probably still wrong, but I'll keep working at it until I get it right. Also sleeptyme naow.

[CromTheConqueror]

Nice. The only two things I saw wrong was that there was a southern city in Eadhalion next to the spine that should be next to the top fork of the lowest spiking out of the main one in Eadhalion next to the black mountain.

Of the two cities right beside each other on the eastern half of Imperator, the lefter and less black one needs to be moved in a straight line from the nearby river spike next to the black mountains.

(I'll just try and edit it with MS Paint later to show it).

[Spuggy]

looks nice

[Spuggy]

fuck da police I'm working on my map again

[MidgetNinja]

Woot Woot, Bronx is back in action.

Can't wait to see what you come up with sir, keep me posted, let me know if you need any help, all that jazz.

[Admin]

Excellent. If you could post an updated map, that would be awesome.

[Caligstro Smith]

Hey, just wanted to check: The third map in the OP is the most current map? Or is the one 6 posts above this one the most current? I'm asking b/c in one in the OP has the 3-way split cities Kirath, Visnia, and Nasdem, + labeled geographic features, but the one 6 posts up has that place Edhaolin that's next to Imperator. Are both locations still valid, or is one no longer there? Or is Edhaolin just not on the OP map yet?

[Caligstro Smith]

Also, Ara'neil is a globe, so is there just nothing on the other side of the world, or is the planet kinda small/the continent FREAKING HUGE and wraps all the way around the globe?

[CromTheConqueror]

Right now we only have a map of this continent. The way I can purchase a map of just the United States. The one by Tuv on this page I believe is the most recent though all of them seem to be lacking some key information (Sword States being the big one). And while we're on this topic chaos can you please adjust the forum settings so people can change the width?

[Caligstro Smith]

Sorry, are the "Sword States" Kirath, Visnia, and Nasdem? If so which article gave them that name? I've not read through everything yet.

[CromTheConqueror]

The United Principalities of Tryvold. They are referred to by most foreigners (and quite a few of the local residents) as the Sword States.

[Caligstro Smith]

That hasn't been on ANY of the maps yet posted in this thread though right? I thought I looked over all of them for changes that were being made at each step? Where do they belong (ish?)

[CromTheConqueror]

They border Eadhaolin's eastern side. They currently constitutes what you might call the the "Big Five" of Ara'niels mainland. Those five being Imperator, Eadhaolin, Atimar, the Sword States, and the Conclave.

[Caligstro Smith]

You mean in that space between the two really really thin mountain ranges? Southeast of the red area marked as Atimar and kinda north of Mearc?

[CromTheConqueror]

Indeed. Though just for clarification, since they appear on the map, they are probably quite large in reality.

[Caligstro Smith]

What, the mountain ranges? I was just speaking relatively, since the other mountain ranges on the map are just far larger still.

[CromTheConqueror]

I understand. Again just a clarification.

[Caligstro Smith]

So, here's another question: There's discussion of climate for each nation/regional powerbase, but do we know where the equator is? I mean, since there are other continents (we just have a map of the one though) do we actually know the size of this continent relative to the actual size of the globe? And its relative position? Seems like that might be good to know.
