oh cool :) didn't know it would cause all that much work, and Judith, you raise very good points. I didn't want to get too far along with plans for that area and then find out it needed to have that name changed.

Did a bit of work on the new map these few days.  Besides minor border adjustments, I've also labelled most of the things that currently have names (and the 4 duchies that don't, so that it would be easier to talk about them if necessary).  There's still a lot of things that don't have names though, and I could really use some help with that. 

It's also getting a little cluttered.  I might split it into a political map and a geographical map in the future.

Unnamed Duchy Three - Duchy of Sheyaur perhaps? named after the ruins of Cyroan's fortress on top of the Ilian Plateau. Other thought I had was somehow an easter egg to something in Homer's Iliad.

Maybe the unnamed cities in the province of Gilden could be
- Gillum;
- Renlum;
- Cyrolum;

Named after the Scions of Thromgolin. I've reached these name by taking the nicknames of the three figures (Gil, Ren and Cyro) and adding the final three letters of Caelum to them. I figured that Kyranians would probably look to name their settlements after famous figures in their past, especially as the city of Naios appears to have been already named after one of their historical figures.

Looks really nice so far, Mina! thumbup

Though of course a lot more things still need to be done before I can begin to convert it into a Santharian map ŕ la Manthria. Progress with Vardýnn has stalled at the moment, as these details are still missing there as well to a great degree (but good progress on map elements has been made!). But just continue on here - I hope we'll reach a point where we have enough information and can tackle this!

I like naming things, Mina!  Can I help?

Sure, go ahead. :) I think one of the bigger problems I have with this is that we only know the meanings of very few Centoraurian words, and almost no Kyranian words.  Creating arbitrary names seem way harder than creating meaningful ones.   undecided

Arti: I recently found that Smee was going to make a Manthria-style map of Xaramon for his masterwork.  Any idea if he's still working on it, or if it's been abandoned?

Dek: Thanks!  I've added those names, though I'm not entirely sure about having the same ending for all three cities.

Well, he showed up briefly a while ago (32 days ago to be exact in the Manthria thread), but he has disappeared ever since. I've sent him a PM now, let's see what he says...

Are Shabby and Dek the same person in my mind.  Strange.
20 May 2012, 10:38:19
Ah yes, forgot to point out to Shabakuk that Chapter 5 is ready for testing - will do so now!
18 May 2012, 09:35:51
I am pleased it is going well for you though Seeker ... can't wait to try it and die. :D
18 May 2012, 09:35:13
No, I didn't Seeker. :( I think it is Master Anfang who is doing the testing
18 May 2012, 08:30:42
Dek-   shoals is going very well.  Art is starting on chapter 6. A very important chapter.  Did you test chapter 5?

Waiiiiiit!   (Bard staggers back with a pile of Unfinished Projects so high her arms are trembling)  Let me stuff mine in there before you lock the room!  *looks guiltily around and snatches the Quenyss parchment off the top of the stack*

and throw the key into the deepest river we can find, or the midst of one of the volcanoes
13 May 2012, 03:19:29
Then I say we lock the Unfinished Projects room.  If Arti ever gets in there.... big trouble. rolleyes

I'm amazed you can see the Altario projects pile considering it is dwarfed by my unfinished projects. For which I apologise.
