21st November 2024 - Finally fixed the map scale. Somewhat.

So following my last update, I ... worked a bunch on my conlangs. I have a temporary faerie font I made to be able to type in my fae language at all. I've put a lot of thought into how to make my conlangs more accessible when the characters in the fonts don't like up with the sounds they make.

I haven't managed to solve that one. I suppose it doesn't matter much. How many people are going to care how my languages actually sound, and how many of those people are going to be using a screenreader? Still, it's the principle of it.

Anyway back to what the few people on this page are really here for: My map of empires SMP Season 1~

Much better. Still a bit funky though. Gilded Helianthia is drawn as bigger than England, and House Blossom is also still pretty damn big.

House Blossom's scale can be put down to magic induced by the overgrown. (I really do solve all House Blossom's funkiness with magic don't I?) And Gilded Helianthia's can be explained as they needed to be drawn bigger as discussed in the previous blog.

Can I start losing my mind over rivers now? Have I finally finished the basic map?

I have been reading 30 days of worldbuilding by Angeline Trevena and Day 2 of that 30 day book is a map completed to this point. Day 3 is adding rivers. I don't think her book is meant for an entire continent at this scale.
