Here's the latest map in the Atlas Elyden, depicting various colonies of the Korachani empire. The map features 7 distinct locations scattered around the world of Elyden and I've included an inset map showing the world, and the different colonies in relation to each other to help place them.
This, the 50th map in the Atlas Elyden series, marks a new series of maps that I'm going to be working on, detailing regions and demesnes outside of the generic sphere of influence of the Inner Sea...

A note on the flash-fiction I'm posting this week: this one is closer to a horror novella in length, and due to this I've uploaded epub, mobi and pdf versions for ease of reading.

Here's the latest map for the atlas - a completely redesigned map of Korachan and its environs, with updated labels, maps, new cities, and all updates taken from all the maps I've made since this one, the original for which was made almost 4-years ago.
You can find an updated key to the map here.

Here's an updated map depicting the Korachani nation and the neighbouring nation of Hoamm and its vassal, Artalscellia.
This was the first Atlas map I did for this project, close to 4-years ago now (!) and I thought it was time to bring it up to date with the other maps. The original version had a completely different cartouche, different colours, smaller markers, and much less detail overall. some of the national borders were different (particularly in the north). The surrounding nati...

I’ve been working on a site for a while now, nothing fancy, just somewhere official where I can put my stuff and have a hub from which I can operate.
Patreon is great for the community stuff but I feel as though I’ve needed a site for some time. Thanks to all your help I now have the money to be able to pay for hosting and a domain, and decided that this is as good a time as any to get cracking.

I know a lot of my patrons are GMs who use their maps in games, or some might be writers who use the maps as settings for their stories.
I'm very much interested in knowing more about how you've used my maps in your personal works. Please let me know how you've been using my work in your personal projects!

So my old wacom bamboo finally gave up (one soaking in tea too many, poor thing).
I've been meaning to get a new tablet anyway so, thanks to all my patrons, I've been able to invest in an intuos medium pro.
I'm still messing around with the presets but hope to be working with it soon

After a small break I'm back with the next part of the process - choosing a government for Cisneria, yes our new nation has an official name!
I've listed the poll options below. Some may require further fleshing out if chosen (for instance, if Monarchy wins, we would need to determine if its absolute, constitutional, crowned or elective, for instance). If it comes to th...

Here's the latest map on the Atlas Elyden, the Soleyn Territories and the Thaumaturgy of Suor.
This map includes a new design for the Nullambit line, replacing the thicker line from older maps with a simple dashed line. I think it makes more sense this way as the older version implies that the Nullambit line itself represented something Physical, which is not the case. Let me know what you think :)
