Map of Syrelwynn
Just to keep up with the Joneses (or the Hadjimehmetovs as the case may be) I've started mapping my province. I don't have web space right now, so I uploaded it to the wiki. I hope that's okay.
I'll flesh this out further when I get answers to some of my history questions, but a few brief notes:
- Syrelwynn is the capital. It's on a small hill near a river about twenty or thirty kilometers from the sea. Syrelwynn is its name in common Shireroth language, but it has an older name in its own tongue. Maybe Wintersong Keep - I need to write more history.
-Sirwynn is a trading port on the river. It's pretty close to Shirekeep and across a mountain range from the rest of the county. It used to be the capital, and it used to be called Syrelwynn, but there was some kind of shift. Again, more history.
- Synthera and Imphare are the two seaports.
- None of the towns are very big. Syrelwynn is the biggest and probably has about 35,000 people in it. Some of the very small ones like Airle and Daneannis probably only have a few hundred.
- There's some shipbuilding in Synthera, and some gold mines in the mountains, but otherwise no heavy industry to speak of. There's a lot of farming and traditional crafts.
- The small tributary of the big river to the south is called the Syrelwynn, and the bigger river to the north is called the Quinewynn. Most of the towns and farms are concentrated along the Quinewynn.
- Most of the county other than the Quinewynn plain is mountains. There are a few roads across them, but they would probably need a 4x4, and you wouldn't want to use them in winter.
- In the hills north of the city of Syrelwynn there are lots of standing stones. Some people say there were placed there to ward off demons. They seem to be doing a pretty good job.

Re: Map of Syrelwynn
Wonderful. Simple wonderful. Soon Brookshire is going to get a name for beautiful cartographers ... or maybe just beautiful cartography ...
I look forward to more ...

Re: Map of Syrelwynn
It looks a little bit mountainous, and I'm not sure how well it reflects the MCS physical map... but... it's sooo pretty ...

Re: Map of Syrelwynn
Well, no one ever told me there was a really really big map with mountains.
Can you or the Kaiser change it to make Syrelwynn more mountainous? Pleeeeeease? (big puppy dog eyes)

Re: Map of Syrelwynn
I see that might be a problem because, well, we can't. However, the MCS map is rather vague...

Re: Map of Syrelwynn
Don't worry, do what you like. The only time anyone from MCS will care is if you have a Recwar, and even then they tend to respect really really well designed provinces. Novatainia managed to have a huge forest, a mountain range, rivers, tunnels, hulking cliffs, farmland, bushland, and a whirlpool, all in an area as big as two or three Shireroth counties in a place that, according the MCS, should be Tundra and flat ...Yvain Wintersong wrote:Well, no one ever told me there was a really really big map with mountains.

Re: Map of Syrelwynn
If you want great quality topography click here.
Actually, its a JPEG so the quality's not that great. :P But the detail is awesome.
This is loosely based on the official Physical Map I believe, and its not entirely official, but it's a good way to check the mountain heights with a bit more detail reliably.
(Btw lighter = higher)

Re: Map of Syrelwynn
It's kind of hard to tell, but as far as I can see, Yvain's map matches Bill's fairly well... but you know, that's micronationalism: There's no such thing as canon.

That map is really rather beautiful, Benkern ...
'cept Spyr (can never spell it right) has a huge mountain on the physical, and not much on it ...

Re: Map of Syrelwynn
Surely everything should be uploaded to the wiki?I don't have web space right now, so I uploaded it to the wiki
Nice map, btw

Re: Map of Syrelwynn
That might have been true a very long time ago, I guess... the MCS maps contain the map scale in the lower right corner these days.

which if not the same leads to some REALLY big problems in terms of astrophysics...
