I just got this computer a buddy of mine gave me. He owns a computer shop and owed me a big favor. Anyways I'm sitting here taking a look at some programs he left behind that he thought I might like, and he left me GIMP. It's very much like Photoshop, which I dabbled in a lot back in the day, so I was thinking I could make an Artistic Map of Althanas. I just have a few questions.
a) Is that map in the Handbook accurate?
b) Where is Dheathain?
That is.... FANTASTIC! Not having maps of some of the continents is annoying. About Dheathain... I have no idea, I've never heard of it.
I've heard of GIMP, but I just downloaded Illustrator.
Acording to what I've heard, the map in the Almanac is very old, and may or may not be accurate.
Dheathain, I think, is located on the large unnamed island that is on the far right side of the map.
But this is just a newb talking...

Don't try to make the whole world, just make the 'known world'. Like one of those old timey maps of Europe. Wistful clouds around the borders to indicate the unknown. Put Salvar above Alerar, Raiaera to the right of Alerar, connect them all with Kachuck in the corner, and that's most of it. Give Corone its big island (I say it's as big as Australia) off the coast of Kachuck somewhere, probably closer to Salvar. Then there's the lesser regions, like maybe Scara Brae is like a bit south of Corone and closer to Raiaera.
I wasn't going to make a globe or anything. Sticking with the region was the idea. I have two questions about what you just said though. Which side of the Landmass would Kachuck be on? I know it's mostly between Salvar and Alerar so I'm guessing the west side. It's also a part of the same mountain range that eventually turns into the mountains of dawn/twilight to the east, right?
I'm obviously not drawing on a consensus here, but Sighter tells me this is how he had it. The green area is Kachuck. Also, Corone is not that close to the coast, but I put in there for reference. I like to keep things simple and then expand on them, that way people understand what's going on every step of the way, so that explains my over-simplification here.
Dheathain is the land that Witchblade created. It's the land of the Draconians and the Fae. You should look it up; I've roleplayed there once or twice.Originally Posted by Hysteria

Kinda like this Rayse? Where the centre island is Salavar, Alerar, Kachuck and Raiaera, the small Scara Brae and the bigger Corone?
I remember the Elven nations being up to the left more, and Scara Brae was on the right side of the Corone slightly lower to the right.
Dheathain and the unexplored realms were then up to the far right of Corone/Brae.
