The fact that I'm a day late and a dollar short posting this segues nicely into this month's challenge: map a trade route! This can be any genre - fantasy, western, sci fi, whatever. There are some criteria though (come on, it's a challenge!). Each map must contain EACH of the following:

1. An oasis, caravanserai, way station, inn, etc. (or more than one)

2. Clear icons or text describing exactly what is being commonly traded on this trade route

3. Some indication of the length of time it takes to transit each part of the trade route

4. Clear icons or text indicating at least one danger that is common along the trade route - bandits, monsters, space anomalies, etc.

Please remember to title your threads like so:

If you don't, the thumbnail scraper won't pick it up, and no one will see your entry when it's time to vote.

This Challenge will end on Tuesday, May 31st, after which there will be three days of voting, and after THAT someone's gonna get a shiny new golden compass to brag about to all their friends.
