I’ve added an updated Inner Sea map, with some connotations and the way I’ll be organizing forthcoming maps. To maximize efficiency (both my time and space on the pages) I’ve decided to depict some of the smaller regions in single page maps (an A4 page rather than the double-size A3 pages I’ve been doing so far, though I;d still create them as A3 maps, so in such cases I'd have 2 maps on one page - 2 A4 faces, making up a single A3 sheets).
Some maps might even be divided into quarters (2 per A4 face) or thirds (2 on an A4 face and 1 on the adjacent A4 face), depending on the size of the nations depicted. I’m concentrating on those regions that will be entirely contained in the Inner Sea map that I intend on making, so that I concentrate my efforts on topography that will be used in the immediate future. These include the Old Forest, Parthis and its vassals, and the northern Sammaean states like Lidea and Mharokk Once those maps are done I’ll hopefully have enough topographical details finished to be able to work on the Inner Sea map, filling in any gaps in the topography as required.
I intend to get 2 versions of the Inner Sea map made - a large A2 poster map (possibly A1, if the cost of posters isn’t too much), and a smaller A3 map that will be part of the encyclopaedia. I’d like the poster map to have a bit more details than the A3 one, with some infographics and other details, similar to the Globe of Elyden map I had made, though in the Atlas Elyden style. As it’s 4 times the size of an A3 map (or 8-times, if I go for A1) that shouldn’t be an issue. I also want to get some prints made of the larger map, both for myself and for anyone interested in buying any. If anyone’s interested, please let me know as it would be helpful toi get an idea of interest.
Llachatul- Ahrishen (landscape)- Gnoth (landscape)- Aquariia + Ezasuth (portrait. Aquariia top, Ezasuth bottom, non-contiguous)- The Old Forest (landscape. possibly add Rhamia & Chthyrid, contiguous)- Ataraxia + Ahka (portrait contiguous)- Alam Bethyl + Kolchis (landscape - Alam Bethyl left, Kolchis right. Non-contiguous, possibly change borders to make closer)- Artalscelia + Hoamm (could be half page, maybe with Melais / Chandra? And Achera?- Ipanah + Bassorah (landscape, contiguous) + achera & madour?-Chthyrid (see old forest)- Rhamia (see old forest)- Mull city-states- Ophiussa (with Sedisia?)- Madour N-E varr (see ipanah)- Achera - W of Azazem (see artalscelia)- Melais - in N Azazem (see artalscelia)- Chandos - in N Laaskha (already features in laaskha. Does it need another map?) see artalscelia
Sammaea- Narthel + sundered states (enesh & mulciber) (landscape, narthel left, sundered states right. contiguous)- Erebeth + Sagittaria + Altha (portrait - contiguous)- Suma’ya + Ba’ath + Zion + Arkos (portrait, possibly contiguous)- N’rach + J’thana + siriphagos (n’rach portrait on pg 1, j’thana + siriphagos landscape pg 2) so 2 pg spread has 3 maps 1:2- Cyhlagharr- Khalkhat- Parthis et al- Tartak- Karakhas/khaur- Shelf and land to left -Mharokk - Paraiya- Aethios- Lidea-Sarastro
So that's around another 30 maps, for a total of between 40 - 45, just depicting the so-called inner Sea regions. Add to that specialty maps (trade-routes, climates, biomes, religions, etc. and that's probably around 50.
