    I finally managed to get my tectonics done. I tried to be as complete and correct as possible. These are the boundaries I reworked:

    • The southern and northwestern boundaries of Tabinoth plate
    • The boundary between Eneaga and Yirral plates
    • The boundary between Eneaga and Sulina / Ghatia / Taiunta plates (with the long island arc)
    • The boundary between Ranineo and Otaia / Ghaon / Arumanthi plates
    • The boundary between Lomo and Ranineo / Arumanthi plates

    In order to get the direction of subduction right I created a few additional small plates:

    • Agehoni and Utoni plates (off Eneaga)
    • Sira plate (off Ranineo)

    I also broke off two other plates off Eneaga (Rantaia and Irumi plates) to create a new subduction zone between it and East Nohhon plate and some volcanic activity in the west of the continent. In the process I also moved the continent of Eneaga slightly to the northwest.

    I checked, double-checked and triple-checked the plates, boundaries and motions, and I cannot find anything substantially wrong with them. I hope you cannot either . Here's the new tectonics map:

    These important changes in Rautah's tectonics meant that I also had to rework the ocean currents. This is the new version:

    Of course, all comments are welcome. I think I will let tectonics and ocean currents rest for a while now and concentrate on wind, rainfall and climate. See how that goes...
