Title: The First Tribes of Wintreath (Map)
Post by: Hydra on January 02, 2016, 07:38:28 PM
The interest thread has been up for quite some time, and I thought it would be time to get the ball rolling. I don't think an application thread is necessary, and a factbooks thread will be up shortly. If anyone can think of a better title, fell free to post it in the OOC (which isn't up yet).

Instead of having normal land claims, a dot representing your tribe's starting point will do, with exploration and expansion coming in later. Please mark your tribe's "capital" with a specific color for the key.

Could my tribe start on that little island in the lake east of the centre of the map? :D

Was planning on taking that for myself, but... :P
Will update the map when more people claim. And to make sure nobody steals my secondary spot, I'll post here that I claim the island to the west.

And that is why I now post my claims before announcing them in my RP.

Aw, I wanted that island. I think I'll claim the peninsula northwest of the northern mountains.

I would like the moderate sized, India-shaped tip in the southeastern part of the map.

I'm not quite sure I understand. Do you mean 1, 2, or somewhere entirely different?

It's not really intended to claim land just yet. Instead, just a little "capital" area/main tribal "YOU ARE HERE" type of thing. I'll place you somewhere in the middle if you drew out India unless you have any objections.

I would like the intersection of the three rivers in the southern forest (the future location of Guldemere on Weissreich's map).

Edit: I meant Galdémere. Reading "Oh, The Places You'll Go in Wintreath" right now.

Your people must be hardy folk, to live so far north. I look forward to reading your factbook.

I'm fine having it anywhere on the east coast of that peninsula.

Do we have like a distance key or something?  I'm not entirely sure what the scale is right now, and I need it a bit for my factbook stuff :)

I'm not that good with distances. :P

This is a distance key that I set up (in top left), although I'm not sure if it makes sense. What do you think?

This would make your island around 50 miles in diameter.

If @Weissreich around, what key did you have in mind when you drew the map?
Title: The First Tribes of Wintreath (Map)

I'll go with the 50 mile diameter for now roughly and wait for Weiss' response.  :)

A little late, my apologies, but the thread(s) you'll want is this (http://wintreath.com/forums/index.php?topic=1057.0) one and this (http://wintreath.com/forums/index.php?topic=321.0) one for more background stuff. Obviously this was stuff I wrote up for my own RP so modify it as you will to fit yours :)

Wintreath was, uh... several thousand miles by several thousand miles across in my mind. Two and a half thousand miles N-S and about four thousand miles E-W. It always looks larger N-S because of the Far North above the Huggtänder Mountains, which isn't part of Wintreath. You seriously don't want to go into the Far North either.

The scale I had in mind was quite a dramatic one, even if I say so myself haha. I never put the information into the thread now that I think about it -.-

That would make Bain - which is what I'm assuming you're talking about - roughly 50 miles across going E-W and 45 miles or so going N-S, assuming you were looking for the longest distances point to point as the crow flies. The actual area is hard to work out because of the coves, but you can make a rough guess at it. Hope that helps!

The map is looking incredible, by the way!

Thought I'd drop in before bed :) It's been a while once again, much to my chagrin... Work is as work does, however. I can't say I will be getting back into NS as I really don't have anywhere near as much time as I did, but I'll be popping in a bit more now that I've balanced things out!

Hopefully. ;)

E: I should have a slightly updated version of the original map somewhere around here as well, might be useful if I can find it.

Interesting. I believe that they were actually referring to Frostlake Isle though.

Thanks, it's nice to be back! Ah, Frostlake Isle is roughly the same N-S (50 miles) and about 50 miles E-W as well. I didn't ever do it up properly to scale so assume these measurements are the furthest distances N-S/E-W on the island and it'll give you a rough area to work with.

Where Zemas has located himself is just about liveable; the northern foothills of the Huggtänder mountains are wild, cold and bitter, but that close to the coast it's likely there's enough unfrozen water for trade vessels to get through (depending on time period, of course - during the thousand year long winter nothing would've survived that far North).

If anyone has questions about the climates of specific regions or locations just tag me in a message and I'll get back to you :)

@Weissreich I have a feeling you're misidentifying the key... Zemas is at the Huggtänder mountains, not Robin.

Am I correct in saying that my location (Galdémere) is rather temperate?

Right you are, it's Zemas - my apologies!

On the map, anything below the southern tip of Frost Lake is considered temperate, with it growing warmer the further south you go. By the time you're at the Gulf of Andoril and the Narrows (the way into Wintreath on the south-west corner of the map) you're at pretty much deciduous forestry, swamps, grasslands etc etc. South-east is desert by the time you're hitting the coast, with the River Lyss being the only stretch of green in that Ride for quite some way. In between either of those is the Indurain causeway networks, so it's lush greenery anyways (Galdémere is a hub on that network) because everything is irrigated.

Shit-tonnes of water, yo!

I can do climate bands if you want any more information than that :)

@Weissreich, on the topic of climate, do you think that you could make a climate chart for our future reference? Since you originally made the map, I think it would be best for you to do this.

I'm thinking of shading areas different colours to give a rough idea plus sectioning areas of the map and numbering them so I can do a brief explanation of each area's climate :)

If you look on the East Coast, where that little peninsula is, there's the Line Mountains with a river running from there westwards to Frost Lake. Saraneth Falls are at the top of that river, so maybe a tiny bit to the right of where the river appears to source from on the map you've got made up :)
