A whole weekend of working in QGIS. Oh lucky me…
One of my goals is to have a topographical equirectangular world map so that I can easily switch to different projections without having to start from scratch every time. I’m usin...

I'm thinking of some different types of maps I can make for the atlas and was wondering what you'd all like to see, keeping to the same atlas style I've been making.
Some things I have in mind are:
Here are the fact boxes for Suor and Soleyn, in preparation for next month's map, as well as some flash fiction to go with them.

The votes are in on poll #4 and we have a tie! As with the last tie, I'll be opening up the vote to all my patrons as a decider.
So, we now have a location in Elyden (area ? 6 in the below map, which I am calling SIX), a...
So this is something I'm really excited about. I mentioned commissioning art in one of my recent posts and here is the result.

Here's the latest animal fact-sheet for Elyden, detailing the Monocerous, another creature I've had in mind for the world.
As you might have noticed from the name and the drawing, this is basically a unicorn - I love the word monocerous and anyone can figure out the etymology pretty easily, and I think this is represen...
I've been running an activity for my Patrons at the Shaper tier and higher, where they helping me design a nation that will be turned into a new map for the Atlas Elyden. There's still a way to go with lots of voting over what shape the nation and its denizens can take, and you can all take part by switching to the Shaper tie...

Here's the latest map on the Atlas Elyden, which shows two regions - the Technocracy of Saragos and the Holy Gynocracy of Naareth.
I've added a new feature to this map - the airship route, which is visible in the west of the map, along grid B--C1--3, B4--6. This is a relatively recent innovation in Elyden and will not ...

As some off you may know, patrons at the Shaper tier and higher have the chance to help me design a nation.
I'm going to be putting up a poll ever few days, exclusively to my patrons at the Shaper and Demiurge tiers, with options on what direction to take this new region, including things like climate, gover...

What's this, I hear you say? Art on my patreon?
That's right :)
Though I've dabbled with commissioning artwork before I've not had the funds to branch out as much as I'd like to. I've been scouring the web for art that I can licence, which is cheaper than commissioning brand new art, and also safer - as I know e...

So after months of faffing about and doing research on the internet I've decided to abandon my original idea of making my own globe from a polystyrene sphere covered in plaster due to various problems.
Instead I've bought I cheapish globe from eBay. There was an unsightly ridge running along the equator, where the two ...
After almost a year (!) I'm ready to share the follow up to my article on the nature of the Demiurges and their Scions, which you can see here.

Here's the latest fact sheets for the denizens of Elyden, this one being the balaur, a creature I've been looking forward to fleshing out for some-time.
Back when I started working on the world of Elyden feathered dinosaurs were not as ubiquitous as they are today and there was still some debate as too quite how f...

Edit: I've updated the text box to detail the Cyhlagharri war with Erebeth, which makes more sense that the old text box about piracy. I'm saving that one for use in another map about sea trade. Thanks Royal Frazier :)

Here are some more regions and structures from Elyden - hopefully they help to convey the flavour and textures of the world of Elyden. Please let me know what you think (as well as pointing out inevitable typos!) :)
Thanks.

The attached image is from the taxonomical section of the Encyclopaedia Elyden and is a continuation of the recent series I started.
