Sure thing! So you design the map, and I make it pretty?

If you have the time. It'd probably be best to wait until the world creation stuff is done, though, or you'd effectively be drawing a map + the stuff that goes on it as it changes.

Behold, MS Paint in all its glory! Be wowed! Be amazed! Also, start thinking about what you want to make. Tomorrow is when the OOC starts, and I'll have formats for all seven items.

If you think the map is missing something, we can add to it. There are presently no cities, so that's a given, but if you think a certain area needs more or less forest, that can be arranged so long as I approve of your application.

I'll post one example for each category as well tomorrow.

I'll get right on that!

EDIT: Are there any color codes I should be aware of?

Also, just a thought for the distant futre, this continent and Sophias could be part of the same world. Thoughts to feed on. Also when will a thread be up? I would probably be ready to write up some stuff r/n

No, those are two very different settings with very different themes. They are separate worlds.

Also understand that I am going to be very selective about what I allow to be part of this world. Some people will inevitably either be told "No" or "Go edit your submission in these ways and I'll consider letting it in." That's just how it is.

Also when will a thread be up? I would probably be ready to write up some stuff r/n


As I've said a few times, it will be up some time today (Tuesday). I can't say precisely when as I've got quite a bit to do today.

Pretty straight-forward:

The green on most of the map is plains/grasslands. The slightly darker green is hilly grasslands. The really, really dark green is forest.

You'll notice there are some gray-green areas with lots of water running through them. Those are swamps.

Light gray is the start of a mountain. Dark grey is higher altitude mountain. White is snowy peaks.

Yellow = desert. Slightly darker yellow = hilly desert / dunes.

Blue = water. I'm pretty that one came out of left field. ...That's a joke. It's a bad joke, but a joke nevertheless.

EDIT: As an aside, light / thin forests do exist in the grassy areas, but they're thin enough that they don't need to be mapped. Dark-dark green = dense forest.
