Cemir should be just one major island with a few clearly smaller ones. It should also be closer to the eastern continent (~60 nautical miles from the coast; ~110 kilometres or so) and not in the middle of the sea - that is supposed to be a dangerous no-go area where the yellow storm rages.

Should the edges of the map be water? or land?

just went over all of the articals, this thread, and the maps to come up with locations of things in relation to each other. kinda creates a large south-west continent, and a smaller eastern and northern continents... i think...

I was thinking of putting Aberion to the east, as the west has lumaria and oviim and asperdene as old fallen empires while the east only has Black Tortios Penninsula as a fallen empire, maybe Tughama by the abyss. More room for Aberion there 1000+ years ago. Asperdene is north of Avak Kraw, as i have word in the wrong spot.

Well, Old Athelon's also in the East, as far as fallen lands go.

It is possible that we'll make up another fallen kingdom to go in the East, so I don't think it's necessary to move Aberion if someone already stated that it was in the westerly direction.


Good luck!

Kaptn'Lath

i never put Athelon anywhere but was thinking north. The real question with Athelon is where do you want the legion of the six sixty six as it still roams whatever land mass its on. Aberion has no real description to its location, its even more ambigious than westin the thrice sundered.

Ah, didn't realize that Aberion wasn't specifically placed.

-Haha.

Kaptn'Lath

thanks to the ascension people where smashing stuff in week 1, and westin and cemir where the first two cities mentioned. Westin got three calamities and cemir became the center of the world.. lol. There is something special about Westin...

also what kind of scale should this have???

Could maybe expand the bump of coast-land west from Oviim and place Lumaria there?

Quote from: Kaptn'Lathhuh? I dont get what you mean by your description.
I mean that this:

would look like a good place for where Lumaria is/was. It would be even better if the coast could be expanded slightly to the east (I accidentally wrote west in my previous post, that must have confused you).

I like what you did with Edhazia's continent!

I think that Ghostman was suggesting that Lumaria should go on the continent with Oviim. Personally I'm neutral to whether it is on the same landmass as Moros.

If you did put it on the continent with Oviim, however, I'd suggest to make a hook up on the eastern side of Nim and place Lumaria on the isthmus there.

Aesthetically, your solution to isolate Asperdene works. I'm not sure though about it being the gateway to the eastern desert or why it would be so isolated now, but it doesn't seem that there is any good solution to that. As it is, your solution seems to work fine.

Westin could go where you put it- I'd prefer it be in the East, but it seems that it could work where it is.

Spelling issue "Avarice Vine" not "Advarice Vine"

Kaptn'Lath

I thought lumaria was in the jungles of Nim so they are on that continent, and really i already flipped the two jungles (and their ancestor states Oviim and Lumaria) a couple times now. Description just puts them south of the Urfu Coast, I assumed the Tradeway led all the way to Oviim and Lumaria. Lumaria apparently used the metal from the Meteor. But the only one mentioned landing is in Moros. On the eastern landmass. Asperdene was described as north of the Urfu coast ("goods where rerouted south along the Urfu coast"), and the Urfu coast is north of two jungles. A desert that far north of Jungles is... not likely. Blasted wastedland works.

I was thinking of maybe putting Asperdene on the Island near the planes of Gemen-Kol, turn the planes into desert, and put the planes and Old Alberion where Asperdene is now. And edit the affected articals.

That Island was also a possible home for Westin. Where i have it now, i imagine Westin being the only survivor of Asperdene, and its advanced tech. I will be editing the Old Athelon artical, the Legion Six Sixty Six never attacked Westin, Old Athelon is in the north.

Ok.. Is outer-mere the region or a town? Descibed as both in articals.

"Old Voylar" is gone.. I miss read the articals and thought part of the nation stayed a Kingdom.

Outer-mere was a region when I wrote it up. Think a later article described it as a city tho. Not much of a city name.

Kaptn'Lath

outer-mere as the name for the landmass then? with the Urfu coast, Jungle areas, wasteland of Asperdene as the major areas?
