This is not about a map of the land on the game, Slayer has provided us that.
Rather, it is about the 'Expanded' Cythera in the team stories.

What do you think? Did I forget anything?

Oh, I have the names that go along with the numbers, but I'd like opinion on general geography first.

Thanks,
Bryce

Hmm, interesting. Looks good, but the names would definitely help.

Looks good, if we had the names we could make minor adjustments to it or offer advice.

1 Land of Cythera
2 Isle visited by Air First Expidtion, home of Lord Gywdion
3 Land of Surmourdac, plauge land.
4 Kingdom of Pournelle, home to Comarus
5 Mountains of Guinness
6 Great Jungle
7 Atoll of the lost city, Yerhal Baris
8 Small volcanic isle, resting place of trans-spartial vessel Tahnmoris
9 Unknown Isle
10 Former site of the air-castle
11 Isle of Tatrinas, home to Talm’s family.
12 Tundra

Oh, the '1' was left off of Cythera I think, sorry.
Of course, you should all recognize Cythera anyway.

Some of the places have never been mentioned, I just put them in there for future adventures.

Nice, but there's one problem. Cythera is majorly disformed. Take a look at Slayer's map or a map from the game for help. [edit] Oops, looked at the wrong landform Posted Image

I like it! It opens up a bit more scope in which stories can take place, now that air-travel is being opened up. Posted Image

I wonder who's going to be first trader to start inter-island commerce - Brink or Sideline? Posted Image

If you don't mind, you could add some small dots between 8 and 9, next to the red etheral void signifying the barren "misty islands" marking the passage into the void. And perhaps the land south of Cythera could be a place yet to be discovered.

Now it makes more sense; you could kick-off the map-making trade. Posted Image

Nice, very nice. Of course, if you took into account the lands of my characters the map would be alot bigger

. It would be good if we had a blown up version of this map. You know about a page worth?

I added the islands as per request.

It's sideways to what it originally was. Which way's north?

North is right - the top of Cythera is pointed north.
