Map help

[Cat]

Okay guys, before I start making a map, give me some info.

Info like, locations we've used in WAR and what youve imagined them to be like (size, location). Or specific places that are pertinent to you, like say, I imagine the City of Light is in the North East. In Jaz's case, where did the manor use to be? just in general where youve imagined places to be.

[Garrett]

Mountains would be.. further north than where the city of light is. I imagine that the mountains take up quite a bit of space, with that one really big mountain in the middle. And somewhere at the foot of these mountains there'd be a poisonous lake.

The lake of blood and Jasmine's manor were in the eastern side, the guild was in the center of the land, now there is a white tree there aswell.

Several key locations have been brought up many times over: "the clearing", "the lake", and "the guild". Mind you, there are sure to be several lakes, and more than your fair share of places clear of trees or thickets. I, however, always saw these as specific locations. It was always "by the lake", or " just outside of the clearing. The lake is bound to east, though I am unsure whether it leans closer to the north or south. Further west, to the borderlands are also massive mountains that curl to the lay of the land like a bowl. They are forever snowcapped, and beyond a simple trouble to pass. There is, however, a path through. The road is not often traveled, and poorly looked after, making it nearly nonexistent, save for the thin cut through the large mountains. The clearing I have always thought of as towards the south, away from the more populated areas in War. It was larger than most like it, and the area around it was unnaturally thick with heavy underbrush. The forests were otherwise the sort one might enjoy a walk in; they were clear mostly from earth to branch. The guild is, well, yeah.. A few more things worth noting would be the further south you went, the more things dried out. A desert lay near the southern edge. I'd not heard of anything, but I might think water lay to the east. A sea? There would have to be spaces for farming, amongst anything.

A question for you all.
If you were to walk at a comfortable pace, in a straight line between the furthest border-points in War, how long do you each feel it would take? What is the scale of this land?

[Cat]

Thank you for the input so far guys, I didn't even realize there was a blood lake/poison lake 0w0 I've nver imagine the guild in the center because it seemed so cliche, and I figured there was only 1 lake. But yeah your guys' input is great.

To answer you Goug, I've imagined WAR to be about the size/shape of Austrailia. In my quick google/wiki searches, it would take about a year to walk that distance.

[Kittywhite]

Yeah..I knew nothing of lakes of blood or some toxic substance. The coloring on that after so long must be very..odd. Either the northern city is not far to the north, the guild is not in the center ( something I had never thought about either )or our distances are off.
That is larger than I had ever thought it, but it opens plenty of opportunity.

[Cat]

Maybe smaller then, much smaller. XD
I'll try to do some drafts ASAP

[Lance]

I've always pictured the guild to look somewhat like a castle from the front, not only that but it is always alot like how we describe it when we go there. Jasmine wanted the lake of blood, I don't know how it started but she said it turned red at night so I just went with it, seems cool anyways, but with demons and ghosts and such, a lake made of blood has no reason to be questioned.
I was just naming some of the major landmarks and such.

[Cat]

What shape is the land do you guys think? asdaksjd its whats holding me back from doing the map. rofl im such a turd i cant even think of a random shape for the map.

[Kittywhite]

The continent, or the actual borders of the..'Nation'. I have always seen it as a jagged bowl, slightly squared. As for the continent...I dunno.

[Lance]

Be creative lol I got nothin I was alot like Ian on the primary description.

[Cat]

roughdraft. tell me whats up please

[Kittywhite]

I don't have any issues with this draft work you've done. I almost didn't bother posting simply because I have no real input. Urm..keep up the good work!

[Angel]

You guys have forgot the brick wall.... there was always a wall, sort of in the middle of the clearing, near the forest. At least, that's where I (Angel) always made my presence known. But, pay no attention to me... im just posting on year old messages.... sigh...
