Pretty much all credit does NOT go to me, Hydra gets a lot of it credit for transcribing Weissreich's original map from paper, and of course, Weissreich himself, I only added detail and biome specification. Of course, this doesn't have to be lore friendly, it's just a more detailed version that I prefer.

Feel free to use my map for any roleplays or anything that you might want it for. If you do, please credit me, Hydra, Weissreich, and anybody else that I do not know of who may have assisted.

It only works if something like .jpg, .jpeg or .png is attached to the end. Of course, it has to actually be one of those to work.

Thank you! (:

FTFY

Also, don't forget to give Hydra credit for transcribing Weissreich's entire map from paper!

Yeah the image tags don't work for galleries. Of course you got the closer for the tag wrong. It's supposed to say [/img].

Thanks, I'm terrible at simple computer things...

Your biomes are off. The southeast is most definitely NOT lush swampland; there's a reason why all the settlements there are called "outposts". Let me quote from Weissreich himself:

@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

And what did you do to the coastline?? Don't get me wrong, it's pretty, but you turned a ton of inland settlements into coastal ones with all those fjords.

Haha, "simple,"  he says...  It's anything but. At least you know something about BB code.. I knew nothing when I started out in NS.

As I say, it's just my interpretation, and not intended to be lore-friendly .

Looks nice... I only see two problems: desert coastlines tend to be more boring than that. It made sense when it was a swamp, not so much now. Also, the desert shouldn't extend that far west (as Weissreich said, there's an extensive irrigation/causeway system).

(Of course, you're not obligated to make either of these changes; as you said, this map isn't meant to be lore-consistent.)

Yeah, I just wanted some semi- accuracy.

Oh, and for future reference:
To get the link to the actual image, right click and select "open image in new tab" (or something similar if you're not using Chrome). Alternatively, in Imgur, when you hover over an image in an album you uploaded, there's a dropdown menu with a "get share link" option (or, if you're viewing the images directly, just click on it and the share links will be on the right).

Oh, thanks, that'll make things much easier! Couldn't the Wintermoot allow us to paste images directly from our computers? And take out the middle man which is Imgur?
