That's certainly impressive. It almost makes me shy out of this month's challenge, for while I do love to compete and to contribute, I like winning every once in a while even more.
And I don't see how I could possibly stand up to /this/.

EVERYONE should compete...not to win, but to learn and expand!

Baziron! Game Printer hasn't even drawn the map yet!
Baziron - Take it from someone who's only been a member here for about six weeks and took part in the December challenge.
It's always better to jump in swinging than to hold back.
Okay, I'll try. I think I'll leave an impression - at the worst, six feet deep :-D
Now all I need is to draw the challenge into an area I'm proficient with, then go for it. The only idea I don't like is that it's supposed to be the wealthiest merchant around... but maybe that could be made less of a problem by defining which exact trade sector... hmm.... I'll work something out. I hope I have some material by Saturday, until then!
OK, been busy all week. Couldn't get back to the challenge until last night and finished it up today.
Page Two is a letter to the invited guest. (notice map underneath)
Page Three is the map directions to Aidid Gardens from Al-Khadif Mosque.
Notice the compass rose - instead of north, south, east, west in 800 AD there were no such compass directions, instead Winds or gods of the winds were names for compass directions. Also know that the muslim compass pointed to east at the top of the map, so Levent is east.
This completes my entry for the January Challenge!
