Cliffstable on Kerstal - City Map
Added 2014-10-28 14:19:03 +0000 UTCTown names are not easy to make up and avoid having them be silly, or just too “medieval fantasy” feeling (Javelin Hill, Hawskford, Granite Pass). So welcome to Cliffstable on Kerstal – a small city that has gradually grown up where the Brown Goblin River meets the Kerstal. The original name of the settlement goes back to when a single horse breeder maintained a stable on the raised cliff area in the south-eastern shore. Travellers and traders would come by the Cliff Stables to acquire excellent and affordable horses. While there is still a small horse trade in the region, the city is more of an agricultural and trading community in the current era. There are two open-air markets in the city – Hillside Market in the north within the walls of the city proper (which often has a very festival-type atmosphere and sells all sorts of handcrafts, foods and treats) and Citadel Market on the cliff itself which deals more in livestock, grains, and larger trade goods. Today’s map was the result of waiting for two different medical appointments in one day. It was drawn in one of my little (4″ x 6″) dollar store mapping books using a Sakura Micron 005 pen. It’s very very small. A pair of progress shots of the map (showing the actual size of the map in question) are available at the blog.

Thank you! I have my own personal issues with this one because I'm seeing it SO MUCH larger on screen than it is in my notebook. It's literally twice as big as I look at it responding to you than the original. So I can see each wobbly little line that little bit better than I could on paper (and it was already rough looking to my eye on paper since I was working so small).
