Atlas Elyden #6 - Skaros (High-res)

This is a higher res version of the Skaros map for my patrons. Thanks for supporting me!

Atlas Elyden #6 - Skaros

Skaros is a land with a long history, dating back to the dawn of the Fifth Age of mortal life, where the lascar people settled the eastern coast of the Gulf of Skaros. They prospered, spreading to the south and east before outside powers in the east stalled their growth. They would dwindle, their ancestors becoming the forebears...

A Timeline of the Ancient Inner Sea

Elyden is a large world of many cultures and civilisations, some neighbours, and some divided by many thousands of miles. Though those around the Inner Sea share at least a modicum of history - shared ancestry, languages with common roots, linked histories - those on the other side of Elyden are barely known to them. Such distan...

Atlas Elyden #5 - the Republic of Almagest

Here's the fifth map in the Atlas Elyden. Work slowed down due to illness, some commission work and writing. I was hoping for 2 maps a month, though I don't think I'll be able to regularly keep up that pace...

Part 5 - the Holy City of Mern

The city was large, and its limestone towers and blue domes glinted wonderfully in the afternoon sun. Though they were still some miles away, Chronicler could see nothing to suggest any un...

Amongst the most esoteric of the ancient Demiurges, Shibboleth was once the patron of wanderers, travellers, portals and crossroads. Parts of these aspects remain, though have been absorbed by various cultures or might remain in some regions, embodied by saints or other religious figures. Shibboleth is...

A Map of Venthir and Tzallrach

I finally finished the map I was working on. 

EDIT: I noticed there were some fragments around some of the mountain text so removed it and added a n elevation key to the cartouche to give an idea of the heights. I also want to add spot heights to the peak icons (white triangles) to show ho...

Why Do I write?

here's a link to a post over on my blog, where I ask myself why I write

the Shadow and the Helix

a discarded poem that I had come up with for a novel that was itself discarded some time ago. Well, I say discarded. What I mean is evolved into a different novel, which in turn changed into something else...

AGYNUR of NEKODA

I've always been interested in heraldry and have tried working it into my work on Elyden where I can. Readers might remember a recent map of the Haréshk, which includes many shields, representative of the varies fiefs of the region. 2015-11-02 15:55:06 +0000 UTC View Post
