New Dawn of the West: Redesign Part 2

Turn it upside down he says

CM, that might work but the whole Europe thing goes out the window and here's why.

The Warhammer map is also based on Europe, so if we are, then we are going to repeat and repeat.

Here's what I am working on as hard facts.

1] The area of the West is isolated from the eastern part of the continent by a large mountain chain. Alps/Himlayas. That is crucial to the story.

2] A large mountain range separates the southern part from the northern part of the land so that the Duchy of Adaire can thrive.

3] The old empire was smashed by a star crashing into it.

4] Solani was laid to waste by fire from the heavens for 40 days and nights.

5] Between Elise and Pendria is a area of fertile plain. A large river runs through it connecting it to the sea and at the mouth of that river on an island sits Kestle, which in turn sits on Tengle bay.

6] To the north of the north, across a wintery sea, are the viking lands and to their west, northwest from Pendria is Zealund.

7] The tip of the Azusan continent can be seen in the lower southwestern part of the map as that was mine mine mine

Everything else is open to modification. Everything. This is no longer a fantasy version of Europe.

Does that help?

I meant turn the black and white one upside down, but no matter.

Ah I see what you mean now... my bad.

The more I stress over this, unless CM or I have a breakthrough I will just shelve my publishing ideas and do it for free instead.

This world is alive now, CM's maps really did that. They are bloody powerful and really strike a chord in those who see them.

I can always write something else
