Plateau Country(WIP) 1st map

[Galendae]

Little Map Key to help explain things:

1 Sunken Valley- Lowest point on the map and set in the middle of a desert. Adventure location, subterranean dungeon.
2 Wadi- Intermittent or seasonal river.
3 Small Ridge/Slope- Depicts moderate rises in elevation 200-300 ft.
4 1st Major Ridge line- Depicts a steep ridge 700-1000 ft tall. Almost wall like.
5 2nd Major Ridge Line- Depicts another steep ridge 1000+ ft tall, major terrain barrier.
6 Tallest section of Ridge line, nearly 2000' ft tall. Ridges 4 & 5 meld here.
7 Tallest Plateau point in the ridge lines- 3000' tall
8 Semi-arid Plateau- Low rainfall, not true grassland and not true desert. Sparsely populated by steppe herders.
9 Grassland- Well watered section of plateau, approx 3000' elevation above lower River valley. Populated by steppe herders. Very Warlike.
10 Seasonal Lake- In the wet season the whole area is a lake. Most of the rain originates in Mts to the North and West. Seasonal Lake has swift evaporation rate in summer.
11 Swamp- Large swamp, home to an empire of man-hating semi-intelligent Lizard men. Area feared by the steppe dwellers.
12 North River valley- Fairly numerous pop area. Very fertile. Most pop is on North Bank.
13 Southern River Valley- Very numerous pop. Area dry, Colorado like, heavy irrigation by the populace. The larger pop is on the South Bank.
14 Fertile Plateau- Densely populated Plateau extending into the Western Mountains.
15 Mountains- Currently poorly drawn. The Eastern slopes are the wet side and very forested.
16 Desert- Not a sand Dune desert, more of a rocky, occasional cactus desert.
17 Dry Region- Colorado like region, the valley dwellers have the area heavily irrigated.
18 Sunken/Hidden Valley- Adventure Area, Lost city with ancient secret people that are deadly xenophobic.
19 Ruined City on Plateau- Ruins of Ancient city, inhabited now by evil creatures, major adventure area.
20 Claw Canyons- Major adventure area, inhabited by evil creatures. Canyons are pock marked with caves.
21 River Tunnel- River carved a tunnel leading to lower river valley from upper plateau.
22 Waterfall- Poorly drawn and needs lots of work to accurately depict a major waterfall.

Hope this clarifies things on the Map.
