[P] Geography

First topic message reminder :

GEOGRAPHY
for the discussion of Pallis various geographical features, overall structure, composition etc.

As I envision it Pallis is a land half formed of nearly barren rock and huge mountains, while the rest is covered in lush forests and the few seas.

First draft! Smile

[P] Geography - Page 2 Pallis__the_other_world__by_3mptylord-d331l1m

The bit of the text at the bottom that is almost completely unreadable says "less fauna".

The two tundra regions are basically summarised in that image, even though the snow-bit's barely visible. Tongue

PS. Damn, I forgot to include the planes of inclination options. Confuse

by **Dark Avorian** Thu Nov 18, 2010 7:22 am

Where the hell is the edge?

by **The Empty Lord** Thu Nov 18, 2010 7:24 am

All the way around it?

I can't draw mountains, but mountains are around the grassland area.

by **Dark Avorian** Thu Nov 18, 2010 7:32 am

I just feel like the odd square shape obscures a lot that would be clearer in a circular map.

by **The Empty Lord** Thu Nov 18, 2010 7:34 am

But maps are rectangle, so being half the world would make it square... surely?

by **Dark Avorian** Thu Nov 18, 2010 8:12 am

but since it's half the world seeing from above...

by **Dark Avorian** Thu Nov 18, 2010 8:12 am

Wait...is the world divided along the equator, or should the pallis/lower world divide be at an angle?

by **The Empty Lord** Thu Nov 18, 2010 8:16 am

Well, the image that inspired this was two vertical halves.

I meant to include the options on the map upload so we could discuss them, but I forgot... Tongue

I think my last image was more of a 1, considering the cold-region was at a corner.

That would make sense, but then the scale would have to change drastically for the middle? I like squares, easier to upload also. Wink

by **Dark Avorian** Thu Nov 18, 2010 8:35 am

Meh, I also like #1, (Imagin the calving that would happen when glaciers went off the edge...

Also, I think i agree with waht you said on the backstory thread that dragons should hold the north, I'm imagining cracks to heat/magic and then ice for the more frosty of the kindred.

So then the tropics would be somthing like an eye, starting above the "equator" but fading out before it hits the edge. Then grasslands near a sea, a sunken sea, a desert formed from pulevrized rock from a huge explosion, and ... Idk if that's really helpful to you...

by **The Empty Lord** Thu Nov 18, 2010 12:11 pm

So with relation to my last map, you want a sunken sea in the grassland area, and something tropical at the top? Or I suppose it could be in the middle? Perhaps the ground north was too barren to actually be topics, so only the southmost section of the eye is actually tropics?

This is me secretly trying to avoid having to blend two different coloured terrains - which I suck at. The barren to grass currently sits well with me 'cause it happens on a crack. But the grass to taiga looks lame, and using gradiants looks out of place.

1. The map is awesome! WELL DONE 3mptylord!

2. do we get to have names of the regions? So Much Win

3. I like the "boarder" between the two terrains.

4. Im speachless Neutral

5. could we like create two chest of arms, one for Dwallows and one for Mogruls? and like putting them on the map. idk the symbols yet but thinking on it Tongue

6. is the map realistic, well it will be maybe a bit different when we make it a sphere.. the other half of Gielinor.. (or is this a own planet?)

7. could the lakes be deeper in the middle ;D (detailed maybe only Tongue

) if theres some deep sea graves or somethings ;D

by **The Empty Lord** Fri Nov 19, 2010 11:09 pm

1) Cheers

2) Probably
3) Same, but I meant between the second, third and fourth. Wink

TRANSITION! That's what I was trying to say when I said blend. Wink

4)

5) COAT of Arms, and yes, that could be cool. Grin

6) It's almost realistic, there's slight scaling issues for wrapping it onto a sphere though. Tongue

7) Deeper? I don't think I showed depth at all.

And I'm still drunk from last night, so apologies if this makes no sense. Smile

by **Zectiox** Sun Nov 21, 2010 3:17 am

1)

2) I love making names for fantasy things Tongue

3) still great Tongue

4) ;D
5) *Coat of arms.. damn with my english.. anyway.. yes, symbolz of the Mogruls and the Dwallows?
6) everymap is realistic but when it comes to from it into a sphere it can be a bit fluffy.. or something Tongue

7) No, I just meant that when you make a map with depth you could include the lakes to ;D..

by **The Empty Lord** Sun Nov 21, 2010 4:04 am

I'm not following. Confuse

by **Zectiox** Sun Nov 21, 2010 5:29 am

just read the 2 above replies Tongue

just answered on your answers Tongue

by **The Empty Lord** Sun Nov 21, 2010 5:35 am

Oh, let me rephrased.

7) I'm not following.

by **Zectiox** Sun Nov 21, 2010 6:29 am

well you have like a map now.. without depth right? when we have done this.. discussion to 120% you will make us a map with depth on : D...

idk what im talking about x)

[P] Geography - Page 2 Desolation_by_mabuart-d32km63

A dwallow making a dangerous excursion through mogrul territory. Smile

(not actually, just a random picture I found)

by **Zectiox** Sun Nov 21, 2010 9:33 am

wow, It could really look like that.. long shaped "teeth-like" cliffs somewhere on the Mogrul territory, very dry and "dead". nice found really : )

by **The Empty Lord** Sun Nov 21, 2010 3:28 pm

by **Zectiox** Mon Nov 22, 2010 7:52 am

how does the border looks like? is it like

dead and mountains ------ green grass and forest... or is it like somekind of lost battlefield that both sides (Mogruls and Dwallows) really dont go near... cuz maybe its hunted or maybe SOMETHING lives there, that both are a bit, afraid of, maybe Diminors having some secret rituals or anything that making it a living hell between the two territories? somekind of "no man's land"

by **MorbiusMonster** Mon Nov 22, 2010 8:04 am

You have to have a giant tower in the middle of nowhere. The scenery wouldn't be complete without one.

by **The Empty Lord** Mon Nov 22, 2010 8:11 am

I was just thinking the stone stops, and then it's grass. Since neither races occupies their entire region, it's not like they're squeezing into the border. Tongue

Oh yeah, updated;

Pallis, the other world. by ~3mptylord on deviant ART

And FYI, wow... DeviantART has a cool embedding thingy. Grin

by **Zectiox** Mon Nov 22, 2010 8:44 am

what about making the small things bigger.. so that you may see what it is Grin

anyway awesome update Win

I just L O V E the little description under the map, just need to... do it bigger ;D so you may read it ;D its a bit, blury...

now we just need some.. forests. maybe making it around the mountains, at least on the "Dwallowian" side. then we need the names of the mountains.. as now we may call it "Western Pallis Mountains" "Center Pallis Mountains" and "southeast pallis Mountains" Tongue

idk if you mentioned any names of the mountains..

what if the center mountains could be called " Orseranth " : D So Much Win

I just want to name one of them ;D or Seraphim. again, great and even, speachless, more great job 3mpty... So Much Win
