It was pointed out that Lidea was missing a High-res map - so here it is!

Atlas Elyden #8 - Vârr (High-res)

It was pointed out that there wasn't a high-res version of this map, likely as this is from the first group of maps I ever posted. Well here it is :)

Atlas Elyden #7 - Laaskha (High-res)

It was pointed out that there was not a high-res post for this map, so here it is :) 

Also, here's a fact box for the small nation of Chandos, in the middle of the map:

Arimaspi, the King of Kings

Here's the 7th of 22 planned Demiurge profiles, depicting the 10th Demiurge, Arimaspi. This Demiurge was a bit of a blank slate as I started writing the background for him, but I think he turned out quite interesting, embodying a sense of fate and destiny. 

Thanks to my patrons' support on this page, I've been able to work with the talented Vincent Coviello to bring all the Demiurges to life. &nb...

Arimaspi, high-res

Here is the high-res art for Arimaspi, created by Vincent Coviello

Patron Survey

I’m on the cusp of getting 60 patrons, which is a milestone I never thought I’d reach, and it’s got me thinking about what YOU are getting from this project - what are you here for and are you getting that?

The idea with this Patreon was to make a page where I can showcase worldbuilding in Elyden. 

Over time, I realised that most people who were becoming patrons were doing so out of self-interest in my cartography, rather than an interest in the world of Elyden.

This is a biggie! I've been working on this one, on-and-off, for the past year-or-so, between atlas maps. 

To be honest, I've got side-tracked by the atlas maps, meaning I've stopped making different types of maps, which is a shame, as it's nice to try something different onc...

BONUS High-res map - the Moloth Khammothul Mtns.

The latest map I've posted details a pretty large area, so some of the topographical details may be a bit difficult to make out, so I decided to add a 2nd textless map. The normal one is still only available to patrons at the shaper tier and higher, but as a special one-off, I thought it would be nice to make a super high-res map available to all my patrons as a thank you for sticking it out!

This is 400 dpi and around 70 x 50 cm, so its the largest map in the atlas style that I've...

How do you prefer the textles maps

One of my patrons asked me for textless maps without lat / long lines. 

This got me wondering how patrons at the Acolyte tier and higher, who get access to textless and High-res versions of all my maps, would prefer to view the textless maps - do you prefer them with the lat / long lines, or without?

Please take a few seconds to answer the poll below - the winning vote will influence how future textless maps are presented. 

Thanks.

Atlas Elyden #51 - the Principality of Sepahaunat

Here's map #51 of the Atlas Elyden, depicting the Principality of Sepahaunat, an independent region that is outside of the influence of the Korachani empire, despite its proximity to one of its colonies (Melhumbra, described in last month's map).

This is the first of the next series of maps that will explore regions outside of the Inner Sea. I've added a small map to show the relative position of Sepahaunat next to Korachan - it's quite far :)
