I can tell you my location, I don't have a name yet. I've settled on the inland bit in the middle of Calaspiria, between the two forks of the river and extending down into the mountains proper. Petering out about where the gridline crosses the mountains, but obviously give it a natural border, not a straight line - I just want to include some proper mountains, and have the rest of it bordered by the two rivers. I will work river-borders into the statelet concept. And that's the two rivers near Myëë Sëyëe, not the two near Col.

I've just registered Merveilles. I'm interested in the area south of that mountain range south of Drachumve. The north and eastern bordes of Merveilles should be those mountain ranges. The capital city is located at the source of that river and named "Quadropoli." Roughly this:



Thanks

[Sammy J McMillan]

Could you add Ivanov as the capital of Col? Map here, it's on the western banks of the western river.

[Kallinn Ynnetrrr]

Woo! Islands are interesting and desirable!

[Scott Alexander]

The map has been updated to Version 3. You can find the new map here. Changes include the addition of Merveilles and Northwood, the labeling of Those Who Shelter Words, and the addition of capitals Real Diamond, Quadrapoli, [Safirian capital name], and Ivanov.

[Shyriath]

If I could put in a request for the following? (eastern half of the large-ish Eorlasian isle north of The Favored)



If I need to cut the claim down, let me know. I can hack off some of the eastern end without affecting my plans overmuch.

[Craitman]

From the "Geographical Survey" thread:

Myëë Sëyëe's capital is really just de facto. The community on Myëë Mŷwr is usually the place where the state's official discussions are held, so I guess that's as close as you're going to get for a capital for us. Just put a capital symbol on the larger island and label it "Myëë Mŷwr"

[Aryeztur]

I request the map be updated for Aryasht now that the resolution has passed.

[Aryeztur]

Also for Aryasht, the capital Aryapur is slightly too far to the north. It should be moved very slightly to the south.

[Aryeztur]

Final question: in terms of scale, what is the approximate size of Aryasht compared to a real world country?

[Kallinn Ynnetrrr]

Actually, I would like to know the scale of the map as well for the purpose of determining the dimensions of the SynnHalla map.

[Carl Jackson]

1px = 7km, just like old Micras.

[Aryeztur]

7 km by 7 km, so 49 km sq?

[Scott Alexander]

CJ is correct. [EDIT: No he's not, it's 7 miles = 12 km]

Aryeztur, you said it was at the mouth of a river. Is it at the right river but too high, or do you want it moved all the way down to the next river?

[Aryeztur]

The map hasn't changed and this is the version I would prefer accurately represented on the official map. The capital as it stands looks like its on the corner of land to the north of the river, but the river's mouth is a bit south of that corner. You got the capital on the right river [there are two rivers on the mainland, its the southern of the two], but it looks like the mouth was moved north a bit. The capital is where the river and the sea meet, of course.

[Aryeztur]

The desert (Reg) might as well be included on future physical maps.

[Nathan]

Is it possible/easy to get a map of Merveilles without the name and city labels and symbol?

[Carl Jackson]

CJ is correct. [EDIT: No he's not, it's 7 miles = 12 km]

Derp.

[Aryeztur]

Yes, 12 km sq? or is it 12 by 12 meaning 144 km sq?
