If we make the bridge canon, I'm going to burn that mother down. Boats and airships, please.

I smell an event...Originally Posted by Rayse Valentino
I wasn't saying we should have the bridge. I was just using that fact to prove that Letho, an official at the time, considered Scara Brae to be southeast of Corone.
An event that results in the redrawing of boarders is fine by me as long as it's actually earned. For now, as far as I'm concerned Kachuck is to Alerar as Akashima is to Corone. However, I don't see a conflict to be had. Both the Dark Elves and the Dwarves are economically bound to one another, they weren't forced to attack Raiaera with the Dark Elves, their history shows more cooperation than conflict... I can go on all day with this, but the subject is meant for another thread.
What I'd like to keep in focus is how to make that map as accurate as I can get it according to the information provided over the years. With that said are the boarders acceptable? The Artist Formerly known as Anebrilith would be in the northeast of Raiaera, but I was thinking Etheria Port (Alerar's port) could be placed on that little portion of their east coast. That way all watery roads lead to Radasanth. Well almost. As far as I've read Salvar's port is on its west coast, but I think that would speak to Corone's maritime and trade prowess anyways.
I've really got to stop trying to be facetious on this site. I'm 0 for 2 now.

Redid the rivers to make them more realistic. I also added the Red Forest and other features in Raiaera according to what Flames described in the FQ.
Are there any other natural features I'm missing?
If that's all I'll get to the hard part. Drawing boarders, placing cities, labeling everything and then the dreaded cartouche.
Well, if you go by Sighter's version then Salvar still has that Ahyark mountain range that cuts from the north most of the way to the Kachuckian mountains. Northern Salvar is looking a little too green too. All this is just going off of legacy works, which you followed for Letho's Corone, but whatevs.
Sorry that I'm getting in on this so late. Salvar is my "region of choice" when it comes to writing. There's a pretty good map of its existence that I can try to link when I edit this post. However, on that most recent map where you are showing a temperature shift as you go from north to south, I would recommend making Salvar a tad bit chillier. I'd always envisioned it as an almost always cold area. Not like the north pole with glaciers and such, but definitely tundra-like with less "greenery" so to speak. More of a generally brown/gray.
But maybe I'm just talking out of my ass.
EDIT: Just read the post above. Epic fail on redundancy.
EDIT AGAIN: Seems the image of Salvar no longer exists. However, I could do a rough sketch of what I remember via paint or something if need be. I just recall that Knife's Edge was closer to the southwest portion of the map with a river running from the city out west into the ocean. Knife's Edge was depicted in my threads as being not more than a week or so's walk from the mountain range to the south, where the western side of that range was where people were entering. It reminds me of the Forgotten Realms map regarding Icewind Dale almost. There is a small path just west of the mountain range that is where travelers enter the region of Salvar, funneled through, and a week's journey northeast from that pathway is the city of Knife's Edge.

I've added the mountain range to Salvar, cleaned up and redirected the rivers a bit, and sharpened up a few coast lines. I'm going to leave Salvar the color it is for now since I'm having a hard time redoing the land color without screwing up all the custom work I did with the Red Forest. I'll keep at it when I can, but I need to get to the Antique version, which will distinguish boarders and city locations much better than this Atlas version.
I am also pleased to announce that this will be used as the official map in the Althanas Compendium
